Isabel Allende tackles issues of human rights, the plight of immigrants and refugees, and slow-burning romance in In the Midst of Winter, while in Unforgivable Love, Sophfronia Scott sets a retelling of the French classic "Les Liaisons dangereuses" in 1940s Harlem. Sing, Unburied, Sing, Jesmyn Ward's first work of fiction since 2011, considers fraught relationships between fathers and sons.

Dreaming of nonfiction for the holidays? Kevin Young tackles everything from humbug to fake news in his timely book, Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-facts, and Fake News. Ta-Nehisi Coates draws parallels between Reconstruction, America's short-lived experiment with multiracial democracy, and its aftermath with the eight years of the Obama administration and its aftermath in We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy. Pat Laprade and Dan Murphy trace the history of women's wrestling in Sisterhood of the Squared Circle: The History and Rise of Women’s Wrestling, while Hope Nicholson describes another sort of sisterhood in The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen: Awesome Female Characters from Comic Book History. In Born for This: How to Find the Work You Were Meant To Do, Chris Guillebeau shows readers the art of landing that perfect job. Lab Girl by Hope Jahren explores the triumphs and disappointments of scientific work.
