Bestsellers: Behind the Smile On Its Way Off Lists
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Marie Osmond's "Behind the Smile" dropped off
all but the New York Times bestseller list, as the book starts an
exit off the national bestseller lists as quickly as it joined them.
In addition to Osmond's book, Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits of
Highly Effective People" and Stephen Ambrose's "Nothing Like it in
the World" remain on national bestseller lists.
On the LDS Bestseller list, most titles remained in their same
positions, the quickest rise was Lance Richardson's "The Message,"
which jumped from #14 to #9.
The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:
Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose
A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US.
Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of
Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the
driving of the "golden spike" in the heart of Mormon territory.
