(Debuted at #8 in Early & Middle Grade Readers) Star Wars: The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections written by Jason Fry and illustrated by Kemp Remillard: “Twelve breathtaking artworks bring the new craft to life, showing all of the weapons, engines, and technology, while engaging text explains each vehicle’s backstory and key features.” (Dec. 2015)

(Debuted at #10 in Mass Market) The Choice by Nicholas Sparks: “Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life – boating, swimming , and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies — he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door.” (Dec. 2015)

(Debuted at #14 in Paperback Nonfiction) How to Relax by Thich Nhat Hanh: “Fully illustrated in two colors, these short contemplations are designed to be used amid the busyness of daily life and will help even the most hardworking multitasker.” (Nov. 2015)
