10. The Wedding People, by Alison Espach
Richard Osman, author of The Thursday Murder Club and sequels, debuts a new series with We Solve Murders, featuring a father-daughter team. Seven raves and a positive in BookMarks. From Kirkus: "As in Osman's other series, they cross paths with a variety of people - including drug-dealing politicians, customs agents, and social media influencers - who may or may not be inclined to help them, and watching the unlikely threesome charm each other and (almost) everyone they meet is a delight. The mystery isn't all that mysterious, but Osman fans will be glad to hop on that private jet and go along for the ride."

9. Does This Taste Funny?, by Stephen Colbert and Evie McGee Colbert
10. What If We Get It Right?, by Ayana Johnson
Want: Sexual Fantasies by Anonymous, is a collection of confessions from women around the world, perhaps akin to the Post Secret phenomenon, but actually inspired by the 1973 bestseller My Secret Garden, from Nancy Friday. One rave, two positive, and one mixed on BookMarks. From Kimberly Harrington in The Washington Post: "You might have the same question I did: Would a book loosely patterned on an erotic bestseller published 50 years ago feel relevant in an age when every manner of sexual imagery and performance, real-life hookups and kink are available in the palm of our hands (so to speak) with a swipe, tap or text? The answer is a definitive yes."

9. Unmask Alice, by Rick Emerson
10. Eve Bites Back, by Anna Beer
National Book Award longlisted title When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era has already done a lot better in paperback than it did in hardcover, which you can't say for a lot of nonfiction nowadays. Three raves and a positive from Bookmarks. From Ilana Masad on the NPR website: "An excellent work of people-first journalism, When Crack Was King offers not only a vivid and frank history, but points to the way communities tend to save themselves even as they're being actively targeted by state policy and violence."

A moving tribute to a cultural treasure."
