Winter Reading 2016

At Bookreporter.com, we kicked off 2016 with our second annual Winter Reading Contests and Feature. We hosted a series of 24-hour contests spotlighting a book releasing this winter and gave five lucky readers a chance to win it.

Even though our contests have wrapped up, we encourage you to take a look at this year's featured titles, as these are the books you'll want to read during the winter months --- and into the warmer ones!

Week of February 22, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of February 22nd include THE BONE TREE, the highly anticipated second installment of Greg Iles' epic trilogy of blood and race, family and justice, featuring Southern lawyer Penn Cage; ON THE MOVE, a memoir by the late Oliver Sacks, who writes about the passions that drove his life, his love affairs, his guilt over leaving his family to come to America, his bond with his schizophrenic brother, and the writers and scientists who have influenced his work; HOW I SHED MY SKIN, which chronicles award-winning novelist Jim Grimsley’s years of learning --- and then unlearning --- racism; and new installments of series by such authors as Jacqueline Winspear, M. C. Beaton, Rhys Bowen and Philip Kerr.

The Friends We Keep by Susan Mallery

In this insightful and compelling story from book club favorite Susan Mallery, three close friends test the boundaries of how much a woman can give before she has nothing left.

After five years as a stay-at-home mom, Gabby Schaefer can't wait to return to work. Oh, to use the bathroom in peace! No twins clamoring at the door, no husband barging in, no stepdaughter throwing a tantrum. But when her plans are derailed by some shocking news and her husband's crushing expectations, Gabby must fight for the right to have a life of her own.
