In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of February 1st and February 8th 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 Valentine's Day contest.

Also, we are sharing Carol's latest "Bookreporter Talks To" interview with Sadeqa Johnson, whose new novel, YELLOW WIFE, will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick. This harrowing story follows an enslaved woman who is forced to barter love and freedom while living in the most infamous slave jail in Virginia. Sadeqa talked to Carol about her inspiration for writing YELLOW WIFE, how she tackled the serious topics that are addressed here, the relationship that her children have with the novel, and how working with J. K. Rowling as her publicist helped pave the way for her career as an author. Click here to watch the video and here to listen to the podcast.
Finally, we are spotlighting THE SURVIVORS, which is now in stores. Coming home dredges up deeply buried secrets in this thrilling mystery by New York Times bestselling author Jane Harper, whose previous novels are THE DRY, FORCE OF NATURE and THE LOST MAN. Carol will be chatting with Jane next week for a "Bookreporter Talks To" interview!

There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a very comforting thought.
