Reese fave 'Luckiest Girl' is a hit

Here's a look at what's new on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list…

Go, girls!: When is Reese Witherspoon going to start her own book club, a la Oprah Winfrey? The movie star/bookworm's winning streak continues with Luckiest Girl Alive (Simon & Schuster), which lands at No. 12. (The full list will publish on Thursday.)

Lionsgate has snapped up film rights for Jessica Knoll's debut thriller, with Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea producing under their Pacific Standard company.

Witherspoon recently posted the jacket on Instagram and raved: "It was the most non-stop nail-biting crazy train of a book with one of the most intriguing characters I have read in a long time!" The novel is being compared to Gone Girl; Witherspoon produced that movie adaptation as well.

Luckiest Girl Alive is further proof that it sure helps to have "Girl" in your title. (Witness The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins' thriller, which is back at No. 1 this week.) Luckiest Girl Alive tells the story of Ani FaNelli, a 28-year-old New Yorker whose perfectly crafted adult life is threatened by revelations from her prep-school past.

Witherspoon, 39, also produced and starred in the film version of Wild, and she, along with Nicole Kidman, optioned Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies, which is in development for TV.

And the actress has been tapped to read the audio version of the July blockbuster-to-be, Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee.

'Life' story: Tom Brokaw has his seventh USA TODAY best seller with A Lucky Life Interrupted. His memoir about cancer makes its debut at No. 20. The former NBC News anchorman, 75, writes about being diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer, and the treatments he has undergone. He says the disease is in remission.

Brokaw has promoted the book in a number of television appearances, including NBC's Dateline and Today show, Charlie Rose on PBS and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. Brokaw's best showing on USA TODAY's list was in 1998, when The Greatest Generation, his book about those who fought in World War II, hit No. 1.

In her 3-star (out of four) review of his new book for USA TODAY, Sharon Peters wrote: Brokaw "has applied the fact-finding skills and straightforward candor that were his stock in trade during his reporting days to A Lucky Life Interrupted."
