"The Perfect Hope" by Nora Roberts replaced "Reflected in You" by Sylvia Day as the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"The Racketeer" by John Grisham remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the third week in a row.

"Barefoot Contessa Foolproof" by Ina Garten remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

"Hotel Vendome" by Danielle Steel remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the second week straight.

They (along with their place on the list) include "Poseidon's Arrow" by Clive Cussler (2), "Flight Behavior" by Barbara Kingsolver (3) and "Captain Vorpatril's Alliance" by Lois McMaster Bujold (15).
