'Killing Kennedy' appears on nonfiction best-sellers list this week

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.

"Second Honeymoon" by James Patterson and Howard Roughan replaced "Inferno" by Dan Brown as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"The Newcomer (Thunder Point)" by Robyn Carr replaced "A Wanted Man" by Lee Child as the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback 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 eighth straight week.

"Joyland" by Stephen King remained the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the third straight week.

There were five 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 "Second Honeymoon" by James Patterson and Howard Roughan (1), "Beautiful Day" by Elin Hildrebrand (6), "The Eye of God: A Sigma Force Novel” by James Rollins (7), "Gone Girl: A Novel" by Gillian Flynn (12) and "Tell Me" by Lisa Jackson (15).
