In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of December 16th, December 30th and January 6th 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 very special contest on ReadingGroupGuides.com, where we are giving readers the opportunity to share their favorite book that they read with their group this year and their favorite book that they read outside their group. One Grand Prize winner will receive six outstanding book group titles releasing early next year: AMERICAN DIRT by Jeanine Cummins, A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD by Therese Anne Fowler, LADY CLEMENTINE by Marie Benedict, LONG BRIGHT RIVER by Liz Moore, THE QUEEN'S FORTUNE: A Novel of Desiree, Napoleon, and the Dynasty That Outlasted the Empire by Allison Pataki, and SAINT X by Alexis Schaitkin. Be sure to enter by Monday, February 3rd at noon ET.
Also, please keep in mind our End-of-the-Year contest featuring Carol Fitzgerald’s Bookreporter.com Bets On picks from 2019. One Grand Prize winner will be awarded all 52 books, while 13 other winners will receive a selection of four of these titles. The deadline for your entries is Monday, January 6th at noon ET.
And be sure to check out our Holiday Author Blogs, which have returned for a 12th consecutive year. We are featuring a new blog post from an author on select days through Thursday, December 19th talking about the books that she has given and/or received during the holidays. This year's contributors are Alena Dillon, Marjan Kamali, Jean Kwok, Sarah McCoy, Liz Moore, Kim Michele Richardson, Wendy Wax and Karen White.
