Campbell's 'The Lost Fleet: Dreadnaught' appears on PW fiction best-sellers list

It’s Sunday, so that means that it’s time for my weekly review of this week’s Publishers Weekly Best-Seller List. According to the list, we’ve got no new books at the top of the four major best-seller lists this week.

"The Sixth Man" by David Baldacci remained the top book on the hardcover fiction best-sellers list, and "Bossypants" by Tina Fey retained the top spot on the hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list.

"Water for Elephants: A Novel" by Sara Gruen was the top book on the mass market paperback best-sellers list, and "Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back" by Todd Burpo, Sonja Burpo, Colton Burpo and Lynn Vincent retained the No. 1 spot on the trade paperbacks best-sellers list.

There are four books on this week’s hardcover fiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. Those books (and their place on the list) are "Bel Air Dead" by Stuart Woods (3), "A Turn in the Road" by Debbie Macomber (4), "Born of Shadows" by Sherrilyn Kenyon (6) and "The Lost Fleet: Dreadnaught" by Jack Campbell (15).

There are five books on this week’s hardcover nonfiction best-sellers list that weren’t on the list last week. They include"20 Years Younger" by Bob Greene (3), "Stories I Only Tell My Friends" by Rob Lowe (4), "Kaboom!" by Darell Hammond (6), "The Wizard of Lies" by Diana B. Henriques (13) and "Hitman" by Howie Carr (15).

There are eight books on this week’s mass market paperbacks best-sellers list that weren’t on that list last week. They include "Savage Nature" by Christine Feehan (2), "Worth Dying For" by Lee Child (3), "Moonlight Cove" by Sheryl Woods (4), "Storm Prey" by John Sandford (9), "Any Man of Mine" by Rachel Gibson (10), "Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Objective" by Eric Van Lustbader (13), "Dangerous in Diamonds" Madeline Hunter (14) and "Hannah's List" by Debbie Macomber (15).

There are two books on this week’s trade paperbacks list that weren’t on the list last week. They include "The Internet Is a Playground" by David Throne (7) and "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin (15).

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.
