The arrival of spring signals the end of our Spring Preview contests. Many thanks to all who entered --- and a big congratulations to all our winners! You can see the winners here, and below are the books that we believe you’ll be talking about over the next few months.

Wendy Lawless, author of Heart of Glass: A Memoir

Before downtown Manhattan was scrubbed clean, gentrified, and overrun with designer boutiques and trendy eateries and bars, it was the center of a burgeoning art scene. Running from the shipwreck of her glamorous and unstable childhood with a volatile mother, Wendy Lawless landed in the center of it all. She navigated this demi-monde of jaded punk rockers, desperate actors, pulsing parties and unexpected run-ins with her own past as she made every mistake of youth, looked for love in all the wrong places, and eventually learned how to grow up on her own.

Week of October 10, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of October 10th include THE LAST MIDWIFE by Sandra Dallas, which tells a story of family, community, and the secrets that can destroy and unite them; Elizabeth Strout's MY NAME IS LUCY BARTON, in which a simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter; HEART OF GLASS, Wendy Lawless' follow-up memoir to CHANEL BONFIRE, the darkly funny story of a girl without a roadmap for life who leaves her disastrous past to find herself in the gritty heart of 1980s New York City; and RAZZLE DAZZLE, Michael Riedel's account of the rise, fall and redemption of Broadway --- its stars, its biggest shows, its producers, and all the drama, intrigue and power plays that happened behind the scenes.
