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 8, 2016

Paperback releases for the week of February 8th include GET IN TROUBLE, Kelly Link's first short story collection for adult readers in over a decade; AS CHIMNEY SWEEPERS COME TO DUST by Alan Bradley, in which Flavia de Luce takes her remarkable sleuthing prowess to the unexpectedly unsavory world of Canadian boarding schools; THE INVENTION OF FIRE, which comes courtesy of Bruce Holsinger, the author of the acclaimed historical thriller A BURNABLE BOOK, who once again brings medieval London alive in all its color and detail in a novel that imagines the beginnings of gun violence in the Western world; and 17 CARNATIONS, a meticulously researched historical tour de force about the secret ties among Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, the Duke of Windsor and Adolf Hitler before, during and after World War II.
