James Patterson's '11th Hour' takes top spot on hardcover fiction list

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.

"11th Hour" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro replaced "Deadlocked" by Charlaine Harris 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 retained the No. 1 spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second straight week.

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

"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the sixth week in a row.

There are eight 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 "11th Hour" by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro (1), "Bring Up the Bodies" by Hilary Mantel (2), "In One Person" by John Irving (4), "The Road to Grace" by Richard Paul Evans (5), "Home" by Toni Morrison (8), "The Sins of the Father" by Jeffrey Archer (10), "A Dog's Journey" by W. Bruce Cameron (13) and "The Family Corleone" by Ed Falco (15).

There are eight books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "I Am a Pole (And So Can You!)" by Stephen Colbert (2), "Most Talkative" by Andy Cohen (4), "Screwed!" by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann (5), "Bombshell" by Suzanne Somers (6), "This is How" by Augusten Burroughs (8), "Killing Lincoln" by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard (10), "The Loyalty Leap" by Bryan Pearson (12) and "Service" by Marcus Luttrell with James D. Hornfischer (13).

There are three books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson (12), "The Lion" by Nelson DeMille (14) and "Coming Up Roses" by Catherine Anderson (15).

There are two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "State of Wonder" by Ann Patchett (6) and "What to Expect When You're Expecting" by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel (15).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
