|  BookExpo Book Buzz What buzzed big at BookExpo this year? Big-name books, of course, like Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach (Scribner), new works from National Book Award winners Jesmyn Ward ( Sing, Unburied, Sing, Scribner) and Alice McDermott ( The Ninth Hour, Farrar), Andy Weir’s Artemis (Crown), and Khizr Khan's An American Family: A Memoir of Hope and Sacrifice (Random). Nonfiction favorites followed Khan’s lead, embracing family or personal stories that told larger stories, while many of the most sought-after fiction titles came from debut or rising-star authors. |

| |  Katherine Arden, Ursula K. Le Guin, Andy Weir | Barbara’s Picks Katherine Arden and Andy Weir exploded on the scene recently, Arden last year with her fantasy debut, The Bear and the Nightingale, and Weir in 2014 with his blockbuster, perfect-for-movies The Martian. Ursula K. Le Guin has been with us for decades and, as her essay collection shows, still has smart things to say. Together they make great reading. |
