John Grisham's 'The Racketeer' returns to 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 only one new book at the top of the four major best-sellers lists this week.


"Silencing Eve" by Iris Johansen replaced "Big Sky Secrets" by Linda Lael Miller as the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list.

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

"Duty" by Robert M. Gates remained the top book on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list for the second week in a row.

"Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell remained the top book on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list for the second straight week.

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 "Lost Lake " by Sarah Addison Allen (9),"The Days of Anna Madrigal" by Armistead Maupin (11) and "Under the Wide and Starry Sky" by Nancy Horan (12).

There was only one new book on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that wasn’t on the list last week - "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" by Ree Drummond, which was No. 14 on the list.

There were three new books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books included "Silencing Eve" by Iris Johansen (1), "The Unwelcomed Child" by V.C. Andrews (13) and "The Racketeer" by John Grisham (15).

There were two books on this week’s trade paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They included "People Tools" by Alan C. Fox (5) and "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg (14).

As a reminder, I’m posting these lists each Sunday because they, as a whole, represent a great, contemporary recommended reading list. These lists are initially released each week on Thursday, and if you’re interested in reading them then, visit Publishers Weekly’s Web site at www.publishersweekly.com.
