by Vicki Myron has been knocked out of its number one spot in nonfiction, hardcovers and replaced with something called Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment
by Steve Harvey.Hmmmmm. If this is what sells, let's just brainstorm a few book ideas here. How about "The Cat Woman Diet: Eat Like a Feline and Lose Weight Fast." Or "You Only Hurt the One You Love: What Our Relationship with Cats Teaches Us about Handling Rejection and Manipulation." Perhaps I need a few more ideas. In the meanwhile, below are the bestsellers from a number of lists tracked here.
