| | The Year in Review: LJ's Best Books of 2016
Barbara Hoffert - @barbarahoffert | December 5, 2016 | | |  Prepub Alert is designed to look forward—next week, I'll start previewing June 2017 titles after my five-part coverage of May, always a hefty month. But now I'm stepping back to direct you to past titles. Library Journal's Best Books of 2016 is up and running, ready for your perusal. Aside from the Top Ten titles, you'll find best-of lists in genre fiction, more nonfiction, poetry, graphic novels, and SELF-e titles. And there's a list of honorable mentions, too. Don't miss. |

 Hawkins, Simsion, Midwinter Keynoter Bell, & More | Barbara's Picks
Big news for pop fiction fans: Paula Hawkins and Graeme Simsion have new novels coming in May that maintain the tone of their previous works while switching context. But don’t miss new novels from up-and-comers Claire Cameron and Kei Miller. In addition, political comedy sensation W. Kamau Bell gets his say, and check out New York Times Book Review editor Pamela Paul on her book of books. | | |
|  Ferris, Hadley, Khadivi, & More | Literary Fiction Previews
Discover writer Khadivi follows the trajectory of a disillusioned American ISIS fighter; Ferris and Hadley do short fiction; and Phaedra Patrick follows up her sleeper hit, The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper, with more sophisticated fun. | | |  Politics, Sports, & Otis Redding | Nonfiction Previews
Condoleezza Rice on democracy, Michael Sfard on human rights in Israel, and Ali Soufan on terror—big politics indeed. Plus baseball (Joe DiMaggio, anyone?) and Otis Redding kicking up a storm. |
