The former Army captain and Missouri secretary of state had been heavily rumored to be looking toward a potential presidential campaign, until he broke last month that he was planning to run, instead, for mayor of Kansas City. Who knows what the long game is, though. (Aug. 7)

The U.S. senator is building buzz: This sweeping, pointed biography comes just a year after the publication of Warren’s autobiography. Author Felix previously wrote popular books on Laura Bush and Condoleezza Rice; this one is sure to make some noise as well. (Aug. 28)
