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.“Swimsuit” by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro replaced “Marrying Daisy Bellamy” as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
“Tick Tock” by James Patterson retained the No. 1 spot 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.
