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 Wind Through the Keyhole" by Stephen King replaced “The Innocent” by David Baldacci 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 fifth 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 sixth straight week.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.
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 "The Wind Through the Keyhole" by Stephen King (1), "Crystal Gardens" by Amanda Quick (5) and "Into the Dreaming" by Karen Marie Moning (13).
