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 are no new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week, that is, all four of the top books on each list remained unchanged this week.
"A Memory of Light" by Robert Jordan remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the second straight week.
"Shred: The Revolutionary Diet: 6 Weeks 4 Inches 2 Sizes" by Ian K. Smith remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the third straight week.
"Odd Interlude" by Dean Koontz remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the second week in a row.
"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the eighth week in a row.
There were three books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (and their places on the list) included "The Fifth Assasin" by Brad Meltzer (2), "The Third Bullet" by Stephen Hunter (6) and "Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker" by Jennifer Chiaverini (14).
There were three books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "My Beloved World" by Sonia Sotomayor (3), "Eat More of What You Love" by Marlene Koch (4) and "Going Clear" by Lawrence Wright (13).
There was only one book on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "One Shot" by Lee Child, which was No. 14 on the list.
There was only one book on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "Private Number 1 Suspect" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, which was No. 4 on that 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.
