Edsel's 'The Monuments Men' 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 are two new books at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"The Invention of Wings" by Sue Monk Kidd remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the second straight week.

"Big Sky Secrets" by Linda Lael Miller remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third week in a row.

"Duty" by Robert M. Gates replaced "Super Shred" by Ian K. Smith as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell replaced "Eat It to Beat It!" by David Zinczenko as the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There were three new books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books (and their places on the list) included "First Love" by James Patterson and Emily Raymond (2), "The Dead in Their Vaulted Arch" by Alan Bradley (10) and "The Longest Ride" by Nicholas Sparks (14).
