Top Reads: J.K. Rowling's Surprise Mystery THE CUCKOO'S CALLING Tops Amazon Best Seller List, Week Ending 7/21

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!

Following the news that 'Robert Galbraith' had been unmasked as HARRY POTTER author J.K. Rowling, her latest novel THE CUCKOO'S CALLING has soared to the top of Amazon's best seller list - where holding on to the no. 1 spot for two weeks in a row.

On The New York Times side of things, it was largely a repeat of weeks past. Dan Brown's INFERNO once again managed to retread to the top of the list, dethroning James Patterson and Howard Roughan's SECOND HONEYMOON. Eben Alexander's PROOF OF HEAVEN was the best selling non-fiction work of the week, with Sheryl Sandberg's LEAN IN once again coming in second.
