Contests: So Many Opportunities to Win!
Happy December! It’s the month when we are making lists and checking them twice. It’s also the time of year when it feels like every media outlet and book website is announcing their best of the year lists. On ReadingGroupGuides.com, we would like you and your book group to help us compile OUR “Best of 2019” list.
Click here to share both your favorite book that you read with your group this year and your favorite book that you read outside your group. One Grand Prize winner will receive a collection of six outstanding book group titles releasing in 2020: AMERICAN DIRT by Jeanine Cummins, A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD by Therese Anne Fowler, LADY CLEMENTINE by Marie Benedict, LONG BRIGHT RIVER by Liz Moore, THE QUEEN'S FORTUNE: A Novel of Desiree, Napoleon, and the Dynasty That Outlasted the Empire by Allison Pataki, and SAINT X by Alexis Schaitkin. I loved them all, and I think each would make for a terrific book group discussion.
The deadline for your entries is Monday, February 3rd at noon ET. We will share our reader-compiled "Best Of" list with you in our early February newsletter. Please note: Your favorite book that you discussed with your group CAN be the same as your favorite book of the year. And they don't need to have been published in 2019.
Our latest “What’s Your Book Group Reading This Month?” contest title is HOUSE ON FIRE by Bonnie Kistler, a Bookreporter.com Bets On pick that is now available in paperback. Five years into their second marriage, Leigh Huyett and Pete Conley couldn’t be happier with their blended family. But one rainy Friday night, Peter’s son Kip, a high school senior, crashes his truck and is arrested for drunk driving. Leigh’s 14-year-old daughter, Chrissy, was a passenger. She dies from her injuries, and Kip is charged with manslaughter. It isn’t long before Kip changes his story and claims that he wasn’t driving after all --- Chrissy was, and he swears there is a witness. As Kip’s trial date nears, Leigh and Kip are torn between loyalty to their children and to each other, while the mystery of what really happened that night looms large.
Three groups will win 12 copies of HOUSE ON FIRE; to enter, please fill out the form on this page by Wednesday, January 8th at noon ET. In the meantime, be sure to check out the discussion guide, our review on Bookreporter and my Bets On commentary. I loved this book, which will lend a lot to a discussion.
HOUSE ON FIRE is one of the 52(!) books we’re awarding to the Grand Prize winner of Bookreporter.com’s End-of-the-Year contest, featuring all of my Bets On picks from this year. Thirteen other winners will receive a selection of four of these titles. Be sure to enter here by Monday, January 6th at noon ET. See more about this BIG contest below. Please note: One entry per person; we will delete duplicates before we select winners. You may want to suggest that others in your group enter as well, so you can share the prize should you win!
In our previous “What’s Your Book Group Reading This Month?” contest, here are the five books mentioned most frequently as titles that our book groups read: EDUCATED: A Memoir by Tara Westover, WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by Delia Owens, BEFORE WE WERE YOURS by Lisa Wingate, THE GREAT ALONE by Kristin Hannah, and THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ by Heather Morris. Scroll further down the newsletter to see the Top 15.
There’s still plenty of time to enter our audiobook contest for the aforementioned A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD by Therese Anne Fowler, which releases on March 10th and will be a Bets On selection. Fifty readers will have the chance to win up to 12 advance digital copies of the audiobook, read by Adenrele Ojo, for their book group. To enter, please fill out this form by Thursday, January 2nd at noon ET. Click here for the discussion guide and here to listen to an excerpt. (Note: We changed the entry deadline as the book’s publication date moved from February to March.)
This month, we’ve added a discussion guide for Beatriz Williams’ new novel, THE WICKED REDHEAD, which is the sequel to THE WICKED CITY. It’s 1924, and Ginger Kelly has fled south to safety in the company of disgraced Prohibition agent Oliver Anson Marshall and her newly orphaned young sister, Patsy. But then Marshall is reinstated to the agency and put to work patrolling for rumrunners on the high seas, from which he promptly disappears. Gin hurries north to rescue him, only to be trapped in an agonizing moral quandary by Marshall’s mother. It’s 1998, and Ella Dommerich has finally settled into her new life in Greenwich Village, inside the same apartment where a certain redheaded flapper lived. Ella is eager to piece together the history of Gin Kelly, whose only physical trace is a series of rare vintage photograph cards for which she modeled before she disappeared. We have a review of THE WICKED REDHEAD on Bookreporter, which you can take a look at here.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Beatriz for our “Bookreporter Talks To” interview. In addition to THE WICKED REDHEAD, we talked about her previous release, THE GOLDEN HOUR (a Bets On pick), and her upcoming collaboration with Lauren Willig and Karen White (known as Team W), ALL THE WAYS WE SAID GOODBYE (in stores January 14th). Beatriz has so much spunk and energy, which made our conversation so much fun. You can see it on video here and listen to the podcast here.
I also enjoyed talking to Whitney Scharer, who stopped by the office last week for a "Bookreporter Talks To" interview. We had a wonderful time discussing her bestselling debut novel, THE AGE OF LIGHT, a Bets On pick that is now available in paperback. It tells the story of renowned photographer Lee Miller and her transformations as a model, artist and inventor. I talked to Whitney about the iconic stories for which Lee is known, the inspiration that artists can find in the life that Lee led, and some of Whitney's own adventures. You can watch the video here and listen to the podcast here.

On Bookreporter, our Holiday Author Blogs are back for a 12th year! Once again, authors are sharing their favorite bookish holiday memories with us. To date, we’ve heard from the aforementioned Karen White (THE CHRISTMAS SPIRITS ON TRADD STREET), Kim Michele Richardson (THE BOOK WOMAN OF TROUBLESOME CREEK), and Wendy Wax (MY EX-BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING).

This month’s Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club pick is Denise Mina’s latest thriller, CONVICTION, which we reviewed this summer on Bookreporter. Here’s what Reese has to say about it: “This story combines suspense, international intrigue and the murder of an entire family aboard a ship… following the one woman who may just have all the answers.” Click here for our review.
Margaret Renkl’s essay collection, LATE MIGRATIONS: A Natural History of Love and Loss, is Jenna Bush Hager’s #ReadWithJenna book club selection for December. "It’s beautiful and it is a slower pace but I kind of loved that at the end of the year," Jenna says. "We end with something slow and reflective and gorgeous." Click here for more of Jenna’s thoughts on the book and “Today’s” interview with Renkl.
This month’s pick for the PBS NewsHour-New York Times “Now Read This” book club is CIRCE by Madeline Miller, a #1 New York Times bestseller that appeared on countless “Best of the Year” lists in 2018. Click here for our review on Bookreporter.

Also, please keep in mind that Simon & Schuster’s Book Club Favorites program will be hosting their final book club discussion of the year this Monday, December 16th at 3pm ET.

The participating authors for the Tucson Festival of Books, which takes place March 14th and 15th on the University of Arizona campus, have been announced. I am moderating five panels...so I am reading up a storm already to prep for them! What I am moderating is still under wraps, but know I am very excited about the lineup of authors I will be interviewing.
This is our last newsletter of the year...and what a year it has been! Thank you for being such loyal readers of the site; your support means so much to us. I hope you have a fun and relaxing holiday season, and enjoy spending time with your loved ones. We will be back with our next update the week of January 6th. Happy New Year!

A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD Audiobook written by Therese Anne Fowler, read by Adenrele Ojo (Fiction)
In Oak Knoll, a verdant, tight-knit North Carolina neighborhood, professor of forestry and ecology Valerie Alston-Holt is raising her bright and talented biracial son. Xavier is headed to college in the fall, and after years of single parenting, Valerie is facing the prospect of an empty nest. All is well until the Whitmans move in next door --- an apparently traditional family with new money, ambition and a secretly troubled teenaged daughter.
Thanks to his thriving local business, Brad Whitman is something of a celebrity around town, and he's made a small fortune on his customer service and charm, while his wife, Julia, escaped her trailer park upbringing for the security of marriage and homemaking. Their new house is more than she ever imagined for herself, and who wouldn't want to live in Oak Knoll?
But with little in common except a property line, these two very different families quickly find themselves at odds: first, over an historic oak tree in Valerie's yard, and soon after, the blossoming romance between their two teenagers.
Told in multiple points of view, A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD asks big questions about life in America today --- What does it mean to be a good neighbor? How do we live alongside each other when we don't see eye to eye? --- as it explores the effects of class, race and heartrending star-crossed love in a story that’s as provocative as it is powerful.

HOUSE ON FIRE by Bonnie Kistler (Fiction)
Divorce lawyer Leigh Huyett knows all too well that most second marriages are doomed to fail. Yet five years in, she and Pete Conley couldn’t be happier with their blended family.
But one rainy Friday night, on the way back from celebrating their anniversary, Peter and Leigh receive horrific news. Peter’s son Kip, a high school senior, has crashed his truck and been arrested for drunk driving. And Leigh’s 14-year-old daughter, Chrissy, was with him.
Twelve hours later, Chrissy is dead and Kip is charged with manslaughter.
Reeling with grief, Leigh nonetheless does her best to rally behind Peter and Kip. That is, until Kip changes his story and claims that he wasn’t driving after all --- Chrissy was, and he swears there is a witness.
As they hurtle toward Kip’s trial date, husband and wife are torn between loyalty to their children and to each other, while the mystery of what really happened that night looms large.

Two women, two generations, two urgent quests. But as Ginger and Ella track down their separate quarries with increasing desperation, the mysteries consuming them take on unsettling echoes of each other, and both women will require all their strength and ingenuity to outwit a conspiracy spanning decades.

By the way, this follows a long history of The Book Report Network delivering compelling programming to readers. Back in 1997, the company hosted the first online interview with John Grisham, which started a tradition of ongoing interviews with authors.
Authors interviewed to date include:
Upcoming interviews include:
-
William Kent Krueger (THIS TENDER LAND)
