Hot This Week: September 30

As we prepare to leave September behind, our Hot This Week list has the random symmetry of exactly two new titles in each category. In movies, the latest X-Men flick takes the top spot. In music, a new album from the Lumineers makes its debut while Post Malone holds strong at the top. The fiction list has new novels from Craig Johnson and Jacqueline Woodson, while nonfiction is joined by a memoir from Edward Snowden at #2.
