Top Reads: Paula Deen Makes a Comeback on Amazon Best Seller List, Week Ending 6/30

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!

Paula Deen's previous publications, SOUTHERN COOKING BIBLE and THE DEAN FAMILY COOKBOOK overtook Amazon's marketplace following her recent 'racial scandal.' It was also confirmed this week that Ballantine Books had cancelled Deen's upcoming publishing deal.

Over on The New York Times' best seller list, Dan Brown's INFERNO reclaimed the no. 1 spot, with Sylvia Day's ENTWINED WITH YOU shifting to no. 2. Phil Robertson's HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY topped the nonfiction list, followed by Sheryl Sandberg's LEAN IN.
