In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of June 11th and June 18th 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 Women's Fiction Author Spotlight of THE BOOKSHOP OF YESTERDAYS, Amy Meyerson's debut novel. Thirty readers will win a copy of the book and share their comments on it. The deadline for your entries is Thursday, June 21st at noon ET.
Also, we are spotlighting HARRY'S TREES by Jon Cohen, an uplifting story about the redeeming power of friendship and love and the magic to be found in life’s most surprising adventures, which is now in stores.
Finally, we have three contests to tell you about on ReadingGroupGuides.com, all of which have a deadline of Tuesday, July 10th at noon ET to submit your entries.
June's "What's Your Book Group Reading This Month?" contest book is MANHATTAN BEACH by Jennifer Egan, which tells the haunting story of Anna Kerrigan, who becomes the Brooklyn Naval Yard's first female diver during World War II, and her search for her missing father. Winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, this is Egan's first novel since her Pulitzer Prize-winning A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD and is this year's "One Book, One New York" pick. In a book group? Then tell us what your group is currently reading to be eligible to win. Three winners will be selected, and each will be awarded 12 copies of the book for their group.
LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE, the runaway New York Times bestseller from Celeste Ng that released last September and will be an eight-episode limited series on Hulu starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, is a riveting novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives. We are celebrating the book's continued success with a special contest that will give three readers the chance to win 12 copies for their group.
Our third and final contest is for TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN, John Green's widely acclaimed and instant #1 New York Times bestseller. The novel tells the story of 16-year-old Aza Holmes, a high school student with multiple anxiety disorders, and her search for fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett. We are giving three groups the opportunity to win 12 copies of the book, which released last October and is currently being adapted into a major motion picture.
