Just when you have to go back to work, a new batch of books (but we know you, and you'll make time):
* The Heretic's Daughter, by Kathleen Kent (Little, Brown, $24.99). Dallas author's look at the Salem witch trials, told through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl. We interviewed Ms. Kent, and a review of the book will appear next Sunday in GuideLive.
* American Wife, by Curtis Sittenfeld (Random House, $26). Examines the life of a first lady with an unpopular husband. Sound familiar?
* The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood, by Helene Cooper (Simon & Schuster, $25). Memoir of a woman from a powerful Liberian family sent into exile.
* The Book of Lies, by Brad Meltzer (Grand Central, $25.99). Brings a supernatural twist to the real unsolved 1932 murder of the father of Jerry Siegel, the creator of Superman.
* Dark Curse, by Christine Feehan (Berkley, $24.95). The 16th entry in the Carpathians fantasy series.
* The Book of Animal Ignorance: Everything You Think You Know Is Wrong, by John Mitchinson and John Lloyd (Harmony, $19.95). An often-hilarious look at the animal kingdom, examining myths and interesting facts.
* Click: What Millions of People Are Doing Online and Why it Matters, by Bill Tancer (Hyperion, $25.95). Among facts from the data: the top "how to" search in the U.S. is about tying ties and Oprah Winfrey is the most-searched personality of the last three years.
* Sweetheart, by Chelsea Cain (St. Martin's Minotaur, $24.95). The author of the best-selling, truly creepy Heartsick follows detective Archie Sheridan as he investigates a series of murders. Serial killer Gretchen Lowell returns, as well.
