Every book that you pick up takes you a step away from your real world, but if you read a book about magic, it takes you an extra two steps.

Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier.

In this newsletter, you will find books releasing the weeks of January 11th and January 18th 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 Winter Reading Contests and Feature, which we have brought back for a seventh year. On select days in January and February, we are hosting a series of 24-hour contests spotlighting a book releasing this winter and giving five lucky readers the chance to win it.
Also, we are sharing Carol's first "Bookreporter Talks To" interview of 2021. It is with Ashley Audrain, whose debut novel, THE PUSH, is this month’s “Good Morning America” Book Club pick and will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On selection. Ashley and Carol covered a lot of ground without giving away the many reveals that are layered into the book, which is being called an “emotional thriller.” It’s written in the second person, which you do not see much in fiction, but the storytelling from that point of view is dead on here. They talked about structuring the book, as well as some poignant scenes, but they tiptoed around anything that would spoil the story, which was quite a feat. Click here to watch the video and here to listen to the podcast.
Finally, please remember to sign up for this month's "Bookaccino Live" events.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 13th at 2pm ET, Carol will present titles releasing between January 12th and February 2nd, along with a few from March, that she would like to get on your radar. Click here to register. Those attending the live event will be asked to answer a survey about the books from the presentation that they are most interested in reading and will be eligible to win prizes.
And on Thursday, January 21st at 8pm ET, we will host our second "Bookaccino Live" Book Group Event. Our guest will be William Kent Krueger, who will talk about his most recent novel, THIS TENDER LAND. Click here to register. If you would like to be one of our “live panelists” and ask Kent a question, please also fill out this form; we will feature those who have questions "on stage."
