Neil Gaiman's latest novel debuts on best-sellers list this week

Today is Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly breakdown of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Sellers Lists. According to those lists, there are no new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week, that is, the same four books that were at the top last week are still at the top this week.

"Inferno" by Dan Brown remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the sixth straight week.

"Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander" by Phil Robertson and Mark Schlabach retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the seventh straight week.

"A Wanted Man" by Lee Child remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the fourth straight week.

"Joyland" by Stephen King remained the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the second straight week.

There were four books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list lat week. They (and their places on the list) included "The Heist" by Janet Evanovich (2), "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman (3), "The 9th Girl" by Tami Hoag (8) and "Sweet Salt Air" by Barbara Delinsky (13).

There were two books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Darwin’s Doubt" by Stephen C. Meyer (10) and "Loyalty 3.0" by Rajat Paharia (12).

There were two books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "What the Duke Desires" by Sabrina Jeffries (11) and "Guilty Wives" by James Patterson, David Ellis (14).

There were two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "NYPD Red" by James Patterson, Marshall Karp (4) and "Light Between Oceans" by M.L. Stedman (14).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Thursday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit Publishers Weekly’s Web site at www.publishersweekly.com.
