It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown 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.
"Shadow of Night" by Deborah E. Harkness replaced "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Wild" by Cheryl Strayed replaced "Leadocracy: Hiring More Great Leaders into Government" by Geoff Smart as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
"The Litigators" by John Grisham remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third week in a row.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" by E.L. James retained its place atop the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the fifteenth week in a row.
There are eight books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (along with their place on the list) include "Shadow of Night" by Deborah E. Harkness (1), "I, Michael Bennett" by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge (2), "Backfire" by Catherine Coulter (4), "The Great Escape" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips (7), "Batman: Earth One" by Geoff Johns (8), "The Prisoner of Heaven" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (10), "15 Seconds" by Andrew Gross (11) and "Night Watch" Linda Fairstein (14).
There are five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Dream Team" by Jack McCallum (4), "Cupcakes and Cashmere" by Emily Schuman (9), "Mick" by Christopher Andersen (10), "It's the Middle Class, Stupid!" James Carville and Stan Greenberg (11) and "Six Weeks to OMG" by Venice A. Fulton (12).
There were no new books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list. The same 15 books made the list. They were just in a different order. That doesn’t happen very often with any of the lists. I’d say it usually occurs about once a year, twice at the most.
There was only one books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "A Discovery of Witches" by Deborah E. Harkness, which was No. 12 on the list.
As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Thursday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit Publishers Weekly’s Web site at www.publishersweekly.com.
