Winter Reading 2018

At Bookreporter.com, we kicked off 2018 with our fourth annual Winter Reading Contests and Feature. We hosted a series of 24-hour contests spotlighting a book releasing this winter (or a book publishing in the spring that we wanted to get on your radar now) 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!

A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

Anna Fox lives alone --- a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times...and spying on her neighbors. Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble --- and its shocking secrets are laid bare. What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control?

The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn

January 2018

My first Bookreporter.com Bets On selection of 2018 is THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW, a thriller that I have been talking about since BookExpo last May when I interviewed its author, A. J. Finn, about it, as it was one of the show’s Buzz books. It’s tough to talk about a thriller without giving anything away, so here is what I can tell you.

Week of March 4, 2019

Paperback releases for the week of March 4th include THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW by A. J. Finn, a twisty Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house; AFTER ANNA, a groundbreaking domestic thriller, as well as a novel of emotional justice and legal intrigue, from Lisa Scottoline, who keeps readers on their toes until the final shocking page; US AGAINST YOU, an instant New York Times bestseller penned by Fredrik Backman, who reveals how loyalty, friendship and kindness can carry a town through its most challenging days; the powerful and provocative memoir HEAVY, in which genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies and deception does to a black body, a black family and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse; and FLY GIRLS by Keith O'Brien, the untold story of five women who fought to compete against men in the high-stakes national air races of the 1920s and '30s --- and won.
