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 two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.
"Mistress" by James Patterson and David Ellis replaced "The Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith, a.k.a. J.K. Rowling, as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"Burn" by Maya Banks replaced "The Casual Vacancy" by J.K. Rowling as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.
"Zealot" by Reza Aslan remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second straight week.
"The Inn at Rose Harbor" by Debbie Macomber remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the second week in a row.
