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 was one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"The Sins of the Mother" by Danielle Steel replaced "Mad River" by John Sandford as the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
"Doctor Sleep" by Stephen King remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.
"The Hit" by David Baldacci remained the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the fifth straight week.
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 "Identical" by Scott Turow (4), "Just One Evil Act" by Elizabeth George (5), "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy" by Helen Fielding (7), "The Wolves of Midwinter" by Anne Rice (9) and "Police" by Jo Nesbo (10).
There were four books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Humans of New York" by Brandon Stanton (2), "Pokemon X & Pokemon Y" by Pokemon Co. Int'l (9), "Orr" by Bobby Orr (10) and "Johnny Carson" by Henry Bushkin (13).
There was only one book on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "The Black Box" by Michael Connelly, which was No. 4 on the list.
There were three books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Unlikely Loves" by Jennifer S. Holland (9), "Michael Symon's 5 in 5" by Michael Symon (13) and "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed (15).
As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
