New 'Star Wars' novel debuts at No. 2 on best-sellers list this week

It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, there is one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"Lone Wolf" by Jodi Picoult replaced "The Thief" by Clive Cussler & Justin Scott as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History" by Chris Kyle, Jim DeFelice and Scott McEwen remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks retained its place as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There are three books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They (along with their place on the list) include "Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi, Apocalypse" by Troy Denning (2), "Monday Mornings" by Sanjay Gupta, M.D. (12) and "Another Piece of My Heart" by Jane Green (15).

There are six books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier" by Ree Drummond (2), "Better than Normal" by Dale Archer, M.D. (8), "Dying to Be Me" by Anita Moorjani (9), "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt (10), "Thought Revolution" by William R. Donius (12) and "The 17 Day Diet" by Dr. Mike Moreno (15).

There are two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn (7) and "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin (13).
