In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of December 17th, December 24th and December 31st 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 2018, 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 2018 in our latest poll.
Also, be sure to check out our Holiday Author Blogs, which have returned for an 11th consecutive year. We are featuring a new blog post from an author on select days through Saturday, December 22nd talking about the books that he or she has given and/or received during the holidays. This year's contributors are Fiona Davis, T. Greenwood, Bonnie Kistler, John Lescroart, Lynda Cohen Loigman, Alex Michaelides, Kate Morton, James Rollins, Whitney Scharer and Lisa Wingate.
And please keep in mind our very special End-of-the-Year contest featuring Carol Fitzgerald’s Bookreporter.com Bets On picks from 2018. One Grand Prize winner will be awarded all 45 books, while nine other winners will receive a selection of five of these titles. The deadline for your entries is Monday, January 7th at noon ET.
