Here’s the weekly comparison of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times Top 5 bestsellers in Fiction Hardback. J.D. Robb’s Fantasy in Death was unseated from its top spot on both lists by Jodi Picoult’s new release House Rules. Kathryn Stockett’s The Help is holding steady at #2 but Roger Parker’s Split Image has disappeared from the top 5 completely.

Every Monday morning I check the bestseller lists at New York Times and the Wall Street Journal because I usually end up adding something to my TBR list. Here’s a comparison of the Hardcover Fiction list. (Wall Street Journal only covers hardcover.)
Both lists have the following books in their top 5:
- “Worst Case” Patterson/Ledwidge (#1 on both)
- “The Help” Kathryn Stockett (#2 on both)
- “The Lost Symbol” Dan Brown (#3 on NYT, #4 on WSJ)
- “Winter Garden” Kristin Hannah (#4 on NYT, #5 on WSJ)
The differences – “Flirt” by Laura Hamiliton is # 5 on NYT & #11 on WSJ. The WSJ rounds out its list with “The Last Olympian” by Rick Riordan at the #3 spot.
The other fiction categories on NYT are Paperback Trade Fiction and Paperback Mass Market Fiction. I’ve added “The Lovely Bones” (Alice Sebold) and a couple of Nicholas Sparks titles to my To Be Read list. What about you? Do you see something that you’d like to read?
