Mark Levin's 'The Liberty Amendments' debuts atop best-sellers list

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.

"The Liberty Amendments" by Mark R. Levin replaced "Zealot" by Reza Aslan as the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"The Casual Vacancy" by J.K. Rowling replaced "Burn" by Maya Banks as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"Mistress" by James Patterson and David Ellis remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction 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 third week in a row.

There was only one book on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that wasn’t on that list lat week - "Rose Harbor in Bloom" by Debbie Macomber, which came in at No. 3 on the list.

There were three books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They (and their places on the list) included "The Liberty Amendments" by Mark R. Levin (1), "The Butler" by Wil Haygood (11) and "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown (14).

There were no new books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list. It was the same list of 15 books, just in a slightly different order. This doesn’t happen often, but it does happen a few times a year.

There was only one book on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "The Silent Wife" by A.S.A. Harrison, which came in at No. 11 on the list.

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.
