* 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 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.
