|  Fiction, Poetry, History, Sanders | Barbara’s Picks In this month’s highlights, the ever-dependable Stephen King, Barbara Kingsolver, and Kate Morton return with new novels, and the ever-dependable Michael Beschloss and Max Hastings return with weighty history (covering presidents at war and the Vietnam conflagration, respectively). But there are some unexpected pleasures: illustrator and signal graphic memoirist David Small offers a graphic novel, Leonard Cohen and Alice Walker offer poetry, and Bernie Sanders has his say. |

| |  Award-Worthy Gems | Fiction Previews I could almost call this list "Picks, Too," because I am particularly excited about these titles. Personal favorites Laird Hunt and Simon van Booy show up with new works, for instance, and Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah appears with a first story collection that is sure to get attention. Award winners all. |

Paula Brackton, Bernard Cornwell, and the triumvirate of Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White lead the way. |
