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.
“The One & Only” by Emily Giffin replaced "Unlucky
13" by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro as the No. 1 book on the
hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
“One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future” by
Ben Carson and Candy Carson replaced "Capital in the Twenty-First
Century" by Thomas Piketty as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction
best-sellers list.
"Inferno" by Dan Brown remained the top book on
the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third week in a row.
"Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn remained the top book
on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.
There were four new books on this week’s hardcover fiction

places on the list) included “The One & Only” by Emily Giffin (1), “The
Lincoln Myth” by Steve Berry (5), “Sniper’s Honor: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel by
Stephen Hunter (8) and “Beowulf: A
Translation and Commentary” by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by Christopher Tolkein
(14).

There was only one new book on this week’s mass market
paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - “Hidden Order”

Living Magazine (6) and “Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Out of the Ashes” by Dick
Counch, George Galdorisi and Steve Pieczenik (14).

they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
