#1 on the NY Times Bestseller List

A new feature here on the Completeist. Each time there is a new book to go to #1 on the NY Times Hardback Fiction and/or Non Fiction list I will post it here. I will also give updates from the NY Times Book Section and look at past #1 fiction/non fiction bestsellers.
I have been collecting as many of the former #1 bestsellers as I can find so this is a passion of mine (well books and reading overall) and I will have a posting later on a bestselling author of a top non fiction book from the 40s that was later forced to resign from public office due to his personal life choice.

Here are the new #1 bestsellers this week. Both are debut in top spot this week.



Jodi Picoult is back on the top of the fiction list with "House Rules" .
She hits #1 almost a year to the day her last novel "Handle With Care" topped the bestseller list.



The former Massachusetts Governor tops the Non Fiction list for the first time with "No Apologies : The Case for American Greatness"
