In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of March 8th and March 15th 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 Spring Preview Contests and Feature, a series of 24-hour giveaways that are taking place on select days this month and next. Enter for your chance to win books that we know people will be talking about this spring --- and beyond.

Also, we are sharing Carol's latest "Bookreporter Talks To" interview with Chris Whitaker, whose new book, WE BEGIN AT THE END, is this month’s Barnes & Noble Book Club selection, a #1 Indie Next pick, a LibraryReads selection, and an upcoming Bookreporter.com Bets On title. The discussion opens with Chris sharing the circuitous --- and somewhat crazy --- route he took to becoming an author, and what drew him to write his lead character, 13-year-old Duchess. That story alone could be a book. They cover a lot of ground, including his writing process, while being careful to avoid all spoilers about the novel’s propulsive ending. Click here to watch the video and here to listen to the podcast.

This Month's "Bookaccino Live" Event: This is your last newsletter reminder to sign up for our next "Bookaccino Live” event, which will take place via Zoom TOMORROW, Wednesday, March 10th at 2pm ET. Carol will present titles releasing between March 9th and April 6th, along with a few from May, that she would like to get on your radar. Attendees of the live event will be invited to answer a survey about the books from the presentation that they are most interested in reading. Those who do will be eligible to win prizes! Be sure to register here by 10am ET tomorrow.

The House Uptown by Melissa Ginsburg

Ava, 14 years old and totally on her own, has still not fully processed her mother’s death when she finds herself on a train heading to New Orleans, to stay with Lane, the grandmother she barely remembers.

Lane is a well-known artist in the New Orleans art scene. She spends most of her days in a pot-smoke haze, sipping iced coffee, and painting, which has been her singular focus for years. Her grip on reality is shaky at best, but her work provides a comfort.

Obscurity is a good thing. You can fail in obscurity. It removes the fear of failure.
