NEW ON THE LIST AND IN PUBLISHING

Vote-getters:

Two buzzy political books are hot sellers this week, including What Happened, which returns former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton to the top of USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list.

Clinton’s new memoir, released Sept. 12, makes its debut at No. 1. It’s her second No. 1 USA TODAY best seller: Living History, in which she reflected on her eight years as first lady, also landed at No. 1, in 2003.

Also a hit this week: Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History by NBC correspondent Katy Tur, which lands at No. 7. Tur’s memoir was released the same day as What Happened.

Both books share a theme: the

2016 presidential election and Donald Trump. And both authors have been making promotional media rounds, including TV appearances.

Reaction to Clinton’s memoir seems to be divided along predictable party lines (does she or doesn’t she take responsibility for her loss?), but the former candidate says she’s finally speaking her mind without holding back.

Tur, who covered Trump’s presidential campaign from the beginning, offers a colorful, sometimes frightening account of her encounters with both Trump and his most vocal supporters.

This is Clinton’s fifth book to make USA TODAY’s list. It Takes a Village hit No. 6 in 1996; An Invitation to the White House: At Home With History peaked at No.

45 in 2000; and Hard Choices made it to No. 3 in 2014.
