Laden with Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and SAG honors, plus a Grammy Award, Foxx pivots here to talk about raising two very different daughters, even sharing the pages with them in Act Like You Got Some Sense (400,000-copy first printing; originally scheduled for October 2020). Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan, a viral sensation, pulls out the Southern charm to tell funny stories about life and celebrity in How Y’all Doing? (100,000-copy first printing). Having started the YouTube channel Dad, How Do I? to hand out the fatherly advice and how-to tips he wishes his dad had been around to give him, Kenney here reiterates that advice while surveying his childhood and how that channel went viral (75,000-copy first printing). In We Were Dreamers, Chinese Canadian actor Liu relates his interrupted upbringing, having lived with grandparents in China until age five, then joined his parents in Canada (50,000-copy first printing). Brat Packer McCarthy relates a life that embraces acting, directing, and working as an award-winning editor-at-large at National Geographic Traveler. In Sunshine Girl, Margulies shows how she created order amid the chaos of a difficult childhood—her divorced parents often lived on different continents—to become an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award–winning actress. In Sinatra and Me, Oppedisano, a longtime confidant and key member of the singer’s management team, reflects on Sinatra’s life, loves, and commitment to his craft (100,000-copy first printing). In The Wreckage of My Life, actress/podcaster Wilson offers funny but heartfelt essays ranging from the joys of eating in bed to her obsessive need to be liked (100,000-copy first printing).
