Bestsellers: Behind the Smile On Its Way Off Lists

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Marie Osmond's "Behind the Smile" dropped off all but the New York Times bestseller list, as the book starts an exit off the national bestseller lists as quickly as it joined them. In addition to Osmond's book, Stephen R. Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and Stephen Ambrose's "Nothing Like it in the World" remain on national bestseller lists.

On the LDS Bestseller list, most titles remained in their same positions, the quickest rise was Lance Richardson's "The Message," which jumped from #14 to #9.

The current titles on US National bestseller lists are:

Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose

A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US. Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the driving of the "golden spike" in the heart of Mormon territory.
