In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of February 13th and February 20th that we think will be of interest to Bookreporter.com readers, along with Bonus News, where we call out a contest, feature or review that we want to let you know about so you have it on your radar.
This week, we are calling attention to our Sneak Peek contest for THE RADIUM GIRLS: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women by Kate Moore. Twenty-five readers will have the chance to win an advance copy of the book, which releases on May 2nd, and share their comments on it.
We also have two features of note to tell you about on ReadingGroupGuides.com.
February's "What's Your Book Group Reading This Month?" contest book is BRITT-MARIE WAS HERE by Fredrik Backman, which is now available in paperback. In a book group? Then tell us what your group is currently reading to be eligible to win. Three winners will be selected, and each will be awarded 12 copies of the book for their group.
Over the last two months, we asked ReadingGroupGuides.com readers to share both their favorite book that they read with their book group in 2016 and their favorite book that they read outside their group. The results are in! Please take a look at the top 10 selected titles in each category.

My heart to you is given:
Oh, do give yours to me;
We'll lock them up together,
And throw away the key.

Who watched the Grammys last night? And by Grammys we mean the Beyoncé and Adele Variety Special with a few Carly Rae Jepsen commercial breaks and technical difficulties for good measure. As if we couldn’t love Adele more, her mid-performance demand for a redo (like a true boss) during her tribute to George Michael reminded us all that we’re human and sometimes it’s okay not to get it right on the first try. Plus, her fangirling out over Beyoncé was pretty much all of us last night. We want Queen Bey to be our mom, too.

If you write great songs with meaning and emotion, they will last for ever because songs are the key to everything. Songs will outlast the artist and they will go on for ever if they are good.
