Books to Fall in Love With 2021

Congratulations to the five winners of our Valentine's Day contest! These readers received all seven of our featured books. Those who entered had the option of responding to the question “Who is your all-time literary crush?” which many of you answered, much to our delight. We had so much fun compiling your top 10 “Literary Loves and Lusts,” which you can see below. Many thanks to all who participated!

Week of January 18, 2021

Paperback releases for the week of January 18th include WESTWIND, a timeless cat-and-mouse classic from Edgar Award winner Ian Rankin that examines political tensions in an era of espionage; NEVER ASK ME by Jeff Abbott, a riveting tale of the dangerous secrets one family has concealed --- and what happens when the question each family member hoped they'd never be asked threatens to expose their darkest truths; FIGHT OF THE CENTURY, an anthology of essays curated by authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman about landmark cases in the 100-year history of the American Civil Liberties Union; and Emma Copley Eisenberg's THE THIRD RAINBOW GIRL, a stunning, complex narrative about the fractured legacy of a decades-old double murder in rural West Virginia --- and the writer determined to put the pieces back together.
