Today is 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 is only one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"The Racketeer" by John Grisham replaced "Threat Vector" by Tom Clancy as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Killing Kennedy" by Bill O'Reilly remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the fifth week in a row.
“Kill Alex Cross" by James Patterson remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the fourth straight week.
"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the third week in a row.
There are two books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "Two Graves" by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child (8) and "The Twelve Tribes of Hattie" by Ayana Mathis (14).
There are two books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Fifty Shades of Chicken" by F.L. Fowler (8) and "Ripley's Believe It of Not!" by Geoff Tibballs (13).
