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

"Joyland" by Stephen King replaced "Entwined with You" by Sylvia Day as the No. 1 book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

"Inferno" by Dan Brown remained the No. 1 book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list for the fifh straight week.

"Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander" by Phil Robertson and Mark Schlabach retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the sixth straight week.

"A Wanted Man" by Lee Child remained the No. 1 book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list for the third straight week.

There were five 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 "Bad Monkey" by Carl Hiaasen (3), "The Eye of Moloch" by Glenn Beck (4), "The Silver Star" by Jeannette Walls (5), "The King's Deception" by Steve Berry (6) and "The Last Original Wife" by Dorothea Benton (7).

There were two books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Killing Kennedy" by Bill O'Reilly, Martin Dugard (7) and "The Unwinding" by George Packer (13).

There were two books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "The Best of Me" by Nicholas Sparks (12) and "Full Tilt" by Janet Evanovich (14).

There were two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "Weber's New Real Grilling" by Jamie Purviance (9) and "Under the Dome" by Stephen King (14).

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