The Nonfiction Chart kept the same Top Five books it had last week, with a few titles stirring things up. Taking the biggest jump in sales on the Nonfiction Chart, Rachael Ray 365 moves up one spot to No. 2 this week after selling more than 56,000 units (a whopping 16,000 more than the week before

to bring its life sales up to more than 163,000 units). Former president Jimmy Carter's Our Endangered Values also increased in sales even though it falls one spot to No. 5. Values sold more than 37,000 units last week, 2,000 more than the week before. Look for book sales to go up again for the "Peanut President," thanks to Jon Stewart. Carter made an appearance on The Daily Show on Monday, more than a month after the release of the book on Nov. 1.
