'Webster's New World Dictionary' appears 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 is only one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"The English Girl" by Daniel Silva replaced "Inferno" by Dan Brown as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"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 11th straight week.

"Friends Forever: A Novel" by Danielle Steel remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third straight week.

"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander retained the top spot 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 English Girl" by Daniel Silva (1), "First Sight" by Danielle Steel (2), "Hunting Eve" by Iris Johansen (8) and "Witch Wraith" by Terry Brooks (12).

There were five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "This Town" by Mark Leibovich (3), "Fantasy Life" by Matthew Berry (4), "Zealot" by Reza Aslan (7), "I Declare" by Joel Osteen (11) and "Jesus Today" by Sarah Young (15).

There was only one book on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "Webster's New World Dictionary" by Michael Agnes, which was No. 8 on the list.

There were two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "The Secret Keeper" by Kate Morton (5), "Unbreakable" by Jenni Rivera (11) and "Sailor Moon, Vol. 12" by Naoko Takeuchi (14).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
