In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of December 25th and January 1st 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 our Reviewer Picks for 2017, where our reviewers reveal their favorite books of the year, and various "Best Of" lists that we've compiled from around the web. Let us know how many books you've read, and how many audiobooks you've listened to, in 2017 in our latest poll.
Also, please keep in mind our very special End-of-the-Year contest featuring Carol Fitzgerald’s Bookreporter.com Bets On picks from 2017. One Grand Prize winner will be awarded all 40 books, while eight other winners will receive a selection of five of these titles. The deadline for your entries is Monday, January 8th at noon ET.
And be sure to check out our Holiday Author Blogs. Eleven authors have shared with us some wonderful holiday memories about giving or receiving books during the holidays. This year's contributors are Chloe Benjamin, Alafair Burke, Karen Cleveland, Chris Fabry, A. J. Finn, Tayari Jones, Nick Petrie, Francine Rivers, Sarah Vaughan, Beatriz Williams and Lauren Willig.
