Keep your eyes peeled for these literary gems, coming out this week:
* Audition: A Memoir, by Barbara Walters (Knopf, $29.95). Explores the life and career of the legendary TV journalist. Juicy tidbits apparently abound.
* Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History, by Ted Sorenson (Harper, $27.95) Memoir by the confidant of and speechwriter for President Kennedy.
* Secrets, by Jude Deveraux (Atria, $25.95). Romance follows a young woman who tracks down her childhood love interest.
* Phantom Prey, by John Sandford (Putnam, $26.95). The newest thriller with investigator Lucas Davenport.
* The Host, by Stephenie Meyer (Little, Brown, $25.99). Queen of the young-adult vampire genre turns her attention to adult readers. The Host takes place in a future where Earth has been invaded by parasitic aliens who control most of humanity. Superdelegates? Oh, different genre. Sorry.
* From Dead to Worse, by Charlaine Harris (Ace, $24.95). The eighth in Ms. Harris' hilarious Southern Vampire mystery series.
* Skeletons at the Feast, by Chris Bohjalian (Shaye Areheart Books/Crown, $25) follows German refugees as they flee the advancing Red Army in 1945. Grim, but so well-written you just have to keep going.
* The Prince of Frogtown, by Rick Bragg (Knopf, $24). Concludes Mr. Bragg's trilogy of family stories that began with the utterly splendid All Over But the Shoutin' and Ava's Man.
