It’s Sunday, so that mean’s that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, we’ve got one new book at the top of the four major best-seller lists."The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow replaced “The Power” by Rhonda Byrne as the No. 1 book on the hardcover nonfiction list.
"Freedom" by Jonathan Franzen retained the top spot on the hardcover fiction list. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson remained in the No. 1 spots on the mass market paperback and trade paperback list.
There are five books on this week’s hardcover fiction best seller list that weren’t on that list last week. Those books (and their positions on this week’s list) include "No Mercy" by Sherrilyn Kenyon (3), "Getting to Happy" by Terry McMillan (4), "Ape House: A Novel" by Sara Gruen (8), "Zero History" by William Gibson (10) and "The High King of Montival: A Novel of the Change" by S. M. Stirling (13).

Those books are "The Grand Design" by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow (1), "True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World" by Lisa Birnbach and Chip Kidd (6), "This is Why You're Fat: Eat More, Cheat More, Lose More--and Keep the Weight Off" by Jackie Warner (8), "Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Lessons for Making It Work" by Tim Gunn and Ada Calhoun (9), "The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration" by Isabel Wilkerson (10) and "Bob Dylan In America" by Sean Wilentz (15).
