In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of May 8th and May 15th that we think will be of interest to Bookreporter.com readers, along with Bonus News, where we call out a contest, feature or review that we want to let you know about so you have it on your radar.
This week, we are calling attention to Carol Fitzgerald's Bookreporter.com Bets On commentary for BENEATH A SCARLET SKY by Mark Sullivan, a novel based on the true story of Pino Lella, who, during World War II, risked his life guiding Jews across the Alps into Switzerland, became a spy inside the German High Command, and fell in love with a woman who would haunt him for the rest of his life.
Also, please keep in mind that you only have until Monday, May 15th at noon ET to enter our Mother's Day contest. Five readers will receive all 13 prize books, which you can see here, along with some mom-themed treats.
And our Summer Reading contests will be starting up again soon. On select days from Tuesday, May 16th through Thursday, August 24th, we will be hosting a series of 24-hour contests and on each of the contest days awarding five readers a book that we think is a great summer read. You will have to check the site each day to see the featured prize book and enter to win. We also will be sending a special newsletter to announce the day's title, which you can sign up for here.
