Stephen King's 'Under the Dome' returns to 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 two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"The Longest Ride" by Nicholas Sparks replaced "W Is for Wasted" by Sue Grafton as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list this week.

"The Hit" by David Baldacci replaced "The Racketeer" by John Grisham as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"Si-Cology 1" by Si Robertson remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the third straight week.

"The Racketeer" by John Grisham remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third straight week.

There were seven books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They (and their places on the list) included "The Longest Ride" by Nicholas Sparks (1), "Thankless in Death" by J.D. Robb (2), "The Quest" by Nelson DeMille (5), "The Final Cut" by Catherine Coulter (6), "Bleeding Edge" by Thoma Pynchon (7), "Deadly Heat" by Richard Castle (8) and "Who Asked You?" by Terry McMillan (12).

There were six books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Guinness World Records 2014" by Guinness World Records (2), "Grand Theft Auto V Limited Edition" by Tim Bogenn, Rick Barba (7), "Grain Brain" by David Perlmutter (9), "Simple Dreams" by Linda Ronstadt (11), "Daring Greatly" by Brene Brown (12) and "Reign of Error" by Diane Ravitch (15).

There were two books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Taking Eve" by Iris Johansen (4) and "Private London" by James Patterson, Mark Pearson (5).

There were three books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "The Hit" by David Baldacci (1), "Grand Theft Auto V Limited Edition" by Tim Bogenn, Rick Barba (10) and "Under the Dome" by Stephen King (14).
