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 two new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.“Shadowfever” by Karen Marie Moning replaced “The Inner Circle” by Brad Meltzer as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
“True Grit” by Charles Portis replaced “The Book of Awakening” by Mark Nepo 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 spot on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
There are three 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 "Shadowfever" by Karen Marie Moning (1), "Strategic Moves" by Stuart Woods (2) and "Call Me Irrestible: A Novel" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips (6).
There are five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "The Investment Answer" by Daniel C. Goldie and Gordon S.
