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!

Maya Banks' latest entry in the BREATHLESS trilogy, BURN, debuted at the number one spot on the The New York Times' fiction best seller list, outselling James Patteron and David Ellis' latest mystery thriller MISTRESS. J.K. Rowling's THE CUCKOO'S CALLING rounded out the top three.

Once again, Reza Aslan's ZEALOT: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JESUS OF NAZARETH topped the nonfiction list, with Eben Alexander's PROOF OF HEAVEN holding strong at number two.
