In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of January 6th and January 13th 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 Sounding Off on Audio contest for January. This month's prizes are the audio versions of Liz Moore's LONG BRIGHT RIVER, read by Allyson Ryan, and Joseph Finder's HOUSE ON FIRE, read by Holter Graham. Submit your comments about the audiobooks you've listened to by Monday, February 3rd at noon ET, and you'll be in the running to win both these audio titles.
Also, we have updated our Books on Screen feature for this month. January's roundup includes the feature films Just Mercy, The Informer, The Turning and The Rhythm Section; the series premieres of “Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector” on NBC and "The Outsider" on HBO, along with the first season of "The Stranger" on Netflix, the season five premiere of "The Magicians" on Syfy, and the season one finale of "Truth Be Told" on Apple TV+; and the DVD releases of Britt-Marie Was Here, Motherless Brooklyn, Joker and The Addams Family.
Finally, we are giving you a preview of Susan Mallery’s upcoming novel, SISTERS BY CHOICE, which releases on February 11th. This fourth entry in her Blackberry Island series is a heartfelt tale of love, family and the friendships that see us through.
