According to the list, we’ve got two new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“The Inner Circle” by Brad Meltzer replaced “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
“The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have” by Mark Nepo replaced “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Larsson as the top book on the trade paperbacks 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, and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Larsson retained the No. 1 spots on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
