It should come as no surprise that Dan Brown‘s “The Secret of Secrets” debuts at the top spot on the fiction list. The book marks the return of symbology professor Robert Langdon from “The Da Vinci Code” and other suspense novels, which have sold many millions of copies and been adapted for film and TV.Ìý
Also of note are three other debuts on the original fiction list, two of which are by Canadian authors, Elsie Silver and Hannah Bonam-Young.
Charlie Sheen, who’s been making some high-profile promotional stops and is the subject of a two-part Netflix documentary, tops the non-fiction list with his outrageous tell-all memoir, “The Book of Sheen.” As the actor is so fond of saying, looks like he’s “winning!”Ìý
