It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, we’ve got one new book at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson replaced “What the Night Knows” by Dean Koontz as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best sellers list.
"Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Larsson retained the No. 1 spots on the mass market paperback best-sellers list and the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
There are four books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books (and their place on the list) are "Three Seconds" by Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom (10), "Damage" by John Lescroart (12), "The Judas Gate" by Jack Higgins (13) and "Halo: Cryptum: Book One of the Forerunner Saga" by Greg Bear (15).
