The 2024 personal growth table might have helped How Not to Age: The Scientific Approach to Getting Healthier as You Get Older. From Kirkus Reviews: "None of Greger's revelations seems likely to lead to vast life extension, but this is a welcome addition to a genre that continues to grow in popularity. A physician tells you everything you ever wanted to know about life extension with less nonsense than usual."

10. G Man, by Beverly Gage
It's the first week out for Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom in paperback. The book spent three weeks on The New York Times bestseller list in hardcover and had five raves and three positives on BookMarks. From Priscilla M Jensen in The Wall Street Journal: "Anyone who has read the subtitle will already know that the Crafts made it not only to Savannah but to a new life outside of bondage. But the story is so richly dramatic, and Ms. Woo so skilled at spinning it out, that at times it’s a genuine nail-biter."

The opening entry in a YA fantasy romance duology, Divine Rivals has been out since last April and is not due for paperback until 2026. The Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books notes: "Eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow drops out of school to make ends meet, and her mother's alcoholism worsens after Iris' older brother joins the goddess Enva's war against the god Dacre. Taking a job at a major newspaper, Iris finds herself competing for the columnist position with the infuriating, and infuriatingly handsome, Roman Kitt. To cope, she types letters to her missing brother, knowing she cannot send them, and instead slips them into a wardrobe where, much to her surprise, they disappear time and time again. It's even more surprising when someone other than her brother suddenly writes back." Whatever your trope, enemies to lovers or enchanted typewriters, this one's for you.
