We wrap up this year’s Mother’s Day Author Blog series with Ann Hood, whose books include the novels THE BOOK THAT MATTERS MOST and THE KNITTING CIRCLE, and the memoir FLY GIRL. In her latest work of fiction, THE STOLEN CHILD (an upcoming Bookreporter.com Bets On pick), an unlikely duo ventures through France and Italy to solve the mystery of a child’s fate. Ann loved reading with her children, Sam and Grace, as they bonded over Babar, Madeline and every Roald Dahl book. But sadly, there was one story that they were never able to finish.
Tell us about the books you’ve finished reading with your comments and a rating of 1 to 5 stars. During the contest period from March 20th to April 3rd at noon ET, three lucky readers each will be randomly chosen to win a copy of DAUGHTER OF EGYPT by Marie Benedict and THE KEEPER by Tana French.
Our major goal for 2026 is to redesign Bookreporter and the rest of the sites in The Book Report Network. How can you help? We have launched a GoFundMe campaign and are asking for donations.
