Today is Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Sellers Lists. According to the lists, there are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"A Week in Winter" by Maeve Binchy replaced "Until the End of Time" by Danielle Steel as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World" by Phil McGraw replaced "Shred: The Revolutionary Diet: 6 Weeks 4 Inches 2 Sizes" by Ian K. Smith as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
"American Sniper" by Chris Kyle, Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the second straight week.
"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the 12th week in a row.
There were five 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 "A Week in Winter" by Maeve Binchy (1), "Guilt: An Alex Delaware Novel" by Jonathan Kellerman (2), "The Power Trip" by Jackie Collins (6), "The Night Ranger" by Alex Berenson (14) and "The Dinner" by Herman Koch (15).
There were six books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week.

There was only one new book on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "Stay Close" by Harlan Coben, which was No. 3 on the list.
There were four books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Private" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro (9), "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks (12), "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky (13) and "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel (14).
As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
