New Stephen King paperback 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 is one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.

"Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg replaced "Life Code: The New Rules for Winning in the Real World" by Phil McGraw as the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Alex Cross, Run" by James Patterson remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the fourth week in a row.

"The Innocent" by David Baldacci remained the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third straight week.

"Proof of Heaven" by Eben Alexander remained the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the 16th week in a row.

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 "Breaking Point" by C.J. Box (7), "Bloodfire Quest" by Terry Brooks (10) and "A Memory of Light" by Jordan/Sanderson (15).

There were five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg (1), "Until I Say Good-Bye" by Susan Spencer-Wendel (10), "The Hormone Cure" by Sara Gottfried (11), "Heaven is Real but So is Hell" by Vassula Ryden (12) and "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" by Rob Bell (15).

There was one book on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - " The Wind Through the Keyhole" by Stephen King, which was No. 15 on the list.

There were three books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews (9), "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer (13) and "Wool" by Hugh Howey (15).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list.
