Holiday Cheer 2025

At Bookreporter.com, we've been celebrating the holiday season in style with our Holiday Cheer Contests and Feature. As our gift to you, we've been spotlighting a book and giving five lucky readers a chance to win it.

Although the contests have ended, we encourage you to take a look at this year's featured titles. These are books you'll want to read during the holidays --- and throughout the new year as well!

Week of January 1, 2024

Paperback releases for the week of January 1st include CODE 6, a bold thriller from James Grippando that asks at what price do we open our lives to Big Data; HOW TO SELL A HAUNTED HOUSE by Grady Hendrix, a gripping novel that explores the way your past --- and your family --- can haunt you like nothing else; CHILDREN OF THE STATE, Jeff Hobbs' timely, insightful and groundbreaking look at the school-to-prison pipeline and life in the juvenile “justice” system; Sarah Levy's DRINKING GAMES, an intimate and darkly funny memoir about how one woman drank and lived --- and how, for her, the last drink was just the beginning; and the paperback original THE LOST VAN GOGH by Jonathan Santlofer, a riveting tale based on rumors that Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait before his death, one that has since been lost to time --- or the black market.
