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 Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith, a.k.a. J.K. Rowling, replaced "The English Girl" by Daniel Silva as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.
"The Casual Vacancy" by J.K. Rowling replaced "Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"Friends Forever: A Novel" by Danielle Steel remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the fourth straight week.
There were three 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 Cuckoo's Calling" by Robert Galbraith (1), "Light of the World: A Dave Robicheaux Novel" by James Lee Burke (8) and "The White Princess" by Philippa Gregory (10).
