Between rescheduled spring titles and early releases ahead of the presidential election, August is the new September this year. Jeff Kinney’s rescheduled Rowley Jefferson’s Awesome Friendly Adventure and Stephenie Meyer’s long-awaited Midnight Sun both land today. And so does Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (her first book since the 2010 Pulitzer-winning The Warmth of Other Suns, just named the latest Oprah’s Book Club pick ) and a wave of notable fiction. As in previous weeks, our sample Bookshop and Aerbook store carousels provide easy displays of books publishing today in need of attention and support, featuring:
- 42 new works of fiction
