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 is only one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"The Collector" by Nora Roberts replaced "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Mary Higgins Clark as the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list.

"Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the third straight week.

"Never Go Back" by Lee Child remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third week in a row.

"Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo remained the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

There were four 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 "The Collector" by Nora Roberts (1), "The Husband's Secret: by Liane Moriarty (13), "Sycamore Row" by John Grisham (14) and "William Shakespeare's The Empire Striketh Back: by Ian Doesher (15).
