THANK YOU to all who subscribed to this Winter Reading newsletter and entered our contests! We appreciate your enthusiasm and participation.

This Bookreporter.com SPECIAL Winter Reading Wrap-up newsletter brings you a look at all of the titles that were included in our Winter Reading feature. We shared six books with you this winter, and we thank our publisher sponsors who made this possible.

Below are this year's featured titles, and we've also created a list of these books in a PDF format that you can access here. A list of the prize winners is here. 

Stay subscribed to this newsletter so you can participate in our 2027 Winter Reading contests, which will begin next January. 

Our Spring Reading feature will go live THIS Friday, February 27th, and the first 24-hour contest will kick off next Tuesday, March 3rd at noon ET. If you have not signed up for that newsletter yet, you can do that here.

Happy Winter Reading!
