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.
"Touch & Go" by Lisa Gardner replaced "The Gift of Christmas" by Debbie Macomber as the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
"Miss Kay's Duck Commander Kitchen" by Kay Robertson replaced "Dark Witch" by Nora Roberts as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
"Sycamore Row" by John Grisham remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.
"Killing Jesus" by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second straight week.
There were four 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 First Phone Call from Heaven" by Mitch Albom (2), "Dust" by Patricia Cornwell (3), "White Fire" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (4) and "Merry Christmas, Alex Cross" by James Patterson (12).
There were three books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Soul Healing Miracles" by Zhi Gang Sha (6), "Good Tidings and Great Joy" by Sarah Palin (9) and "Grain Brain" by David Perlmutter and Kristen Loberg (11)
There were no new books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list. This week’s new list consisted of the same 15 books as last week. They were just in a slightly different order. This doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, maybe two or three times a year.
There were three books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Beautiful Ruins" by Jess Walter (12), "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple (14) and "The Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman (15).
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.
