Since there's no end-all-be-all 'best seller' list, BWW Books has rounded up both The New York Times' top sellers as well as Amazon's - providing you with your one-stop look at this week's top reads!

John Grisham's follow-up to A TIME TO KILL, SYCARMORE ROW, once again reclaimed the number one spot on the New York Times' fiction list for the week ending Dec. 29, Donna Tartt's THE GOLDFINCH in second, and Tom Claney and Mark Greaney's COMMAND AUTHORITY in third.

Charles Krauthammer's THINGS THAT MATTER once again claimed the top spot on the non-fiction list, with Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard's KILLING JESUS in second, and GEORGE WASHINGTON'S SECRET SIX by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger taking the third spot.

On the Amazon side, Markus Zusak's THE BOOK THIEF, recently adapted for the big screen, climbed to the top of the list, with O'Reilly and Dugard's KILLING JESUS taking the second spot, and Krauthammer's THINGS THAT MATTER rounding out the top three.
