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."Ghost Story" by Jim Butcher replaced "A Dance With Dragons" by George R.R. Martin as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard kept its No. 1 spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.
"The Confession: A Novel" by John Grisham retained the top spot on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.
"The Help" by Kathryn Stockett retained the top spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
There are three books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They (along with their place on the list) include "Ghost Story" by Jim Butcher (1), "Full Black" by Brad Thor (3) and "Rules of Civility" by Amor Towles (15).
There are two books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Through My Eyes" by Tim Tebow with Nathan Whitaker (14) and "Absolute Monarchs" by John Julius Norwich (15).
There are six books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "Out of the Rain" by Debbie Macomber (4), "Treachery in Death" by J.D. Robb (7), "Born to Die" by Lisa Jackson (9), "Private" by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro (10), "Only Mine" by Susan Mallery (13) and "Sacred Evil" by Heather Graham (15).
There are two books on this week’s trade paperbacks list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "Unlikely Friendships" by Jennifer S. Holland (8) and "A Visit from the Goon Squad" by Jennifer Egan (10).
As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
