In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of January 8th and January 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 our Paperback Spotlight of GINNY MOON by Benjamin Ludwig, a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick when it released in hardcover last year. We are featuring a review, an interview with the author, and a discussion guide, as well as a contest on ReadingGroupGuides.com that will give three book groups an opportunity to win 12 copies of the book.
Book groups also will want to take note of a contest that Susan Wiggs has posted on her Facebook page. To celebrate the paperback release of FAMILY TREE, Susan would like to join one book club for their discussion of the book and treat them to a real taste of Vermont. One lucky winner will win a book club Skype session with Susan, 12 paperback copies of FAMILY TREE, and an assortment of Vermont foods. Be sure to enter by Wednesday, January 24th at noon ET.
Our Sneak Peek contest is back! This time, we're giving away THE DEVIL'S REWARD by Emmanuelle de Villepin. Thirty-five readers will have the chance to win an advance copy of the book, which releases on May 1st, and share their comments on it. The deadline for your entries is Thursday, January 18th at noon ET.
Also, we encourage you to enter our Word of Mouth and Sounding Off on Audio contests for an opportunity to win some fabulous hardcovers and audiobooks. And be sure to vote in our latest poll, which asks: Are you planning to keep track of the books you read this year?
