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 are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"Deadlocked" by Charlaine Harris replaced "The Wind Through the Keyhole" by Stephen King as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson" by Robert A. Caro replaced "Drift" by Rachel Maddow as 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 for the seventh straight week.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the fifth week in a row.
