Winter Reading 2015

At Bookreporter.com, we kicked off 2015 with our first 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 March 28, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of March 29th include MAKE ME, the 20th installment in Lee Child's Jack Reacher series; THE ENGLISH SPY by Daniel Silva, another action-packed tale of high-stakes international intrigue featuring the inimitable Gabriel Allon; Philippa Gregory's THE TAMING OF THE QUEEN, a riveting Tudor tale featuring King Henry VIII’s sixth wife, Kateryn Parr, the first English queen to publish under her own name; and UNFORGETTABLE, a deeply moving, at times laugh-out-loud funny memoir about the colorful life of Scott Simon and his mother, who spent their last days together in a hospital ICU reflecting on their lifetime's worth of memories.

Week of October 3, 2016
