In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of October 10th and October 17th 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 I FOUND YOU by Lisa Jewell. We are giving 25 readers the chance to win an advance copy of the book, which releases on April 25th, and share their comments on it. In addition, we are spotlighting a very special contest on ReadingGroupGuides.com, where nine book groups will win audiobooks to listen to, discuss and give feedback on. Also, please keep in mind our Word of Mouth and Sounding Off on Audio contests, and be sure to vote in our poll about the fiction titles releasing this month that you are planning to read.

October 7, 2016B-U-S-Y week! Last Friday night, my husband and I were at the keynote kickoff event for the Morristown Festival of Books where Sebastian Junger was the speaker. I have seen Sebastian speak many times over the years, but that evening discussing TRIBE was truly special. At its heart, the book talks about the power of people coming together and being there for each other. Soldiers who are in combat have each other’s backs, no matter what their political and social habits are beyond the battlefield. There is a comradeship that is lacking when they return, which is jolting. He said the book could have been called "Community," but it would not have had the same resonance. He deftly handled a wide range of audience questions.
