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 those lists, there are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"Black List" by Brad Thor replaced "Stolen Prey" by John Sandford as the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander replaced "Control" by Glenn Beck was the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander" by Phil Robertson and Mark Schlabach retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the third straight week.
There were three books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list lat week. They (and their places on the list) included "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini (2), "A Chain of Thunder" by Jeff Shaara (7) and "Storm Front" by Richard Castle (12).
There were three books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Eleven Rings" by Phil Jackson (2), "The 100" by Jorge Cruise (8) and "Shred: The Revolutionary Diet" by Ian K. Smith (12).
