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 only one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
“The Innocent” by David Baldacci replaced "Calico Joe" by John Grisham as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Drift" by Rachel Maddow retained its place as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.
"The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks retained its place as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the fifth straight week.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the third week in a row.
There are four 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 “The Innocent” by David Baldacci (1), “The Witness” by Nora Roberts (2), “Unnatural Acts” by Stuart Woods (4) and “What Doesn't Kill You” by Iris Johansen (7).
There are five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include “Let's Pretend That This Never Happened” by Jenny Lawson (2), “The Presidents Club” by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy (5), “By Invitation Only” by Alexis Maybank and Alexandra Wilkis Wilson (8), “Reverse Innovation” by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble (13) and “Get Lucky” by Thor Muller and Lane Becker (14).

There are three books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include “Fifty Shades Darker” by E.L. James (2), “Fifty Shades Freed” by E.L. James (3) and “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man” by Steve Harvey (8).
