Special Note from Carol:
Help The Book Report Network Expand
Happy New Year!
I want to share some news with you as we start the new year. We have some very big expansion plans that we would like to execute in 2019. We have three goals:
-
Rebuild our websites with new content and functionality
-
Produce and air a weekly podcast with author interviews, book recommendations and more
-
Do more live events
We already have picked out a top-notch design firm and podcast producer, and are ready to get started. But we need your help.
For the past two decades, all of our expansions have been self-funded. We've been happy to provide free content to our readers. Our plan is to continue doing so, but we need your support. This is the first time we are turning to our very supportive reader community for help to expand.
How can you help? We have launched a GoFundMe campaign and are asking for donations. In our very early steps with this campaign over the past few weeks --- reaching out to a small number of authors, agents, publishers and other industry friends --- we already are headed in the right direction.
I am happy to share that, as of today, the campaign is more than 25% funded!
Any level of donation that you would be comfortable with is sincerely appreciated. Sharing this campaign with others is another way that you can help; GoFundMe makes that easy to do. You can read more about our plans and donate here. If you would prefer to donate via check, our address is:
The Book Report, Inc.
850 Seventh Avenue - Suite 901
New York, NY 10019
Thank you for your consideration and your donation.
THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM is January's selection for the Barnes & Noble Book Club, one of the prizes in our End-of-the-Year contest, and an upcoming Bookreporter.com Bets On title.
THE CLOCKMAKER'S DAUGHTER is this month's pick for Simon & Schuster's Book Club Favorites program. S&S is hosting a sweepstakes where they're giving away 12 copies to one lucky winner.
Lots of Ideas to Kick Off the New Year
with Your Book Group!
We have an active neighborhood Facebook page for about a dozen streets in my town. It started a few years ago when someone came up with the idea that we would all light the front of our houses with luminary on one night in early December.
During the holiday week, a woman mentioned that she was new to the area; she wanted to know if there was an existing book group, or if there was interest in starting one. I shared that if they decided to go ahead with this, if they would like, I could suggest a book. Quickly we pulled together about a dozen women who were interested, set up our first meeting for January 31st, and LILAC GIRLS by Martha Hall Kelly was selected as the title to discuss from the four that I shared with them. We have lived in this neighborhood for almost 30 years, and it’s so nice to see it building a bigger community feel than it ever had before --- and a book group.
I would love to pull together a list of ideas from our book group readers that people should keep in mind if they are organizing a new book group. As always, so many great ideas come from our readers, so if you would like to weigh in with ideas, send me an email with the subject line “Organizing a New Book Group.” We will feature these in our March newsletter.
It may surprise our readers that I had never been in a book group until last spring, and now I am in two! We also have a page on Facebook devoted to people in town talking about what they are reading. I enjoy these easy ways to share books with neighbors. If you have done anything to get people in your community talking about books beyond what is happening in bookstores, libraries and book groups, I would love to hear about it. Drop me a note about this with the subject line “Talking Books in My Community.”
We kick off 2019 with a very special contest featuring the soon-to-be-released memoir, MAID: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, which was a Book Expo buzz title last year. At the age of 28, Stephanie Land turned to housekeeping to make ends meet. Determined to provide her daughter with the very best life possible, Stephanie worked days and took classes online to earn a college degree, and began to write relentlessly. She wrote the true stories that weren't being told: the stories of overworked and underpaid Americans. This important book explores the underbelly of upper-middle class America and the reality of what it's like to be in service to them.
I was lucky enough to interview Stephanie at Book Expo back in May for the Author Buzz event where we further explored the ideas in her book. As the months have gone on, I have found myself reflecting on passages in this book, as I watch those in service to others move through their daily lives. It will be a Bookreporter.com Bets On selection when it publishes on January 22nd.
We have 12 copies of MAID to give away to five groups, who then will have an opportunity to chat with Stephanie via phone, Skype or FaceTime. Ten additional winners will receive a single copy of the book. To enter, please fill out this form by Wednesday, February 6th at noon ET. You can see the discussion guide here and our Bookreporter.com review shortly after the book's release.
Our latest “What’s Your Book Group Reading This Month?” contest title is Chris Bohjalian’s psychological thriller, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, which is now available in paperback. Cassandra Bowden is a flight attendant who wakes up one morning in a Dubai hotel room. She is hungover and doing her best to remember what happened the previous night. But when she notices the bloody, lifeless body of the man she spent the night with, her confusion turns to panic. Afraid to call the police, Cassie begins to lie. She lies so much and to so many people, including the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate, that it soon becomes too late to come clean --- or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who did?
We’re giving three groups the chance to win 12 copies of the book; to enter, all you have to do is fill out the form on this page by Wednesday, February 6th at noon ET. Be sure to check out the discussion guide here and our review on Bookreporter.com here. For the record, I took a flight right after reading this and was tempted to ask the flight attendant “When you left your bed this morning, was there a dead body in it?” when she asked what I wanted to drink.
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, LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE by Celeste Ng, BEFORE WE WERE YOURS by Lisa Wingate, ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE by Gail Honeyman, and WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by Delia Owens. Scroll further down the newsletter to see the Top 15.
Continuing from last month is our special End-of-the-Year contest. By sharing your favorite book that you read with your group in 2018 and your favorite book that you read outside your group, you will be eligible to win six titles releasing this year that are perfect for book group discussions: THE AGE OF LIGHT by Whitney Scharer, THE GIRLS AT 17 SWANN STREET by Yara Zgheib, THE HUNTRESS by Kate Quinn, THE ISLAND OF SEA WOMEN by Lisa See, LOST ROSES by the aforementioned Martha Hall Kelly, and THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM by Marie Benedict. The deadline for your entries is Thursday, January 31st at noon ET. We will share our reader-compiled "Best Of" list with you in the early February newsletter. This is one of my favorite features as I love to see what has resonated with you. As for the prize books, each is one that you want on your radar!
Earlier this week, I was excited to hear that THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM is January’s selection for the Barnes & Noble Book Club. Barnes & Noble will be selling a special Exclusive Book Club Edition of THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM, in addition to hosting a free Book Club Night to discuss the novel, in stores across the country on Tuesday, February 5th at 7pm local time. It also was announced that, due to its immense popularity, the B&N Book Club will now be held monthly at all stores nationwide instead of quarterly. Click here for all the exciting details and to sign up for the February 5th event at your local B&N store.
We’ve added three more guides to this update: STRANGERS IN BUDAPEST by Jessica Keener, which bestselling novelist Caroline Leavitt calls a “dazzlingly original tale about home, loss, and the persistence of love” and is now available in paperback; THE FLOATING WORLD, C. Morgan Babst’s debut novel that takes readers into the heart of Hurricane Katrina and the life of a great city, which also recently released in paperback; and WATCHING YOU, Lisa Jewell’s new psychological thriller --- and my latest Bets On title --- about a shocking murder in a picturesque and well-to-do English town.
In the late January newsletter, we will feature our list of the “Most Requested Guides of 2018,” which we are in the midst of compiling.
Outside of the reading that you do for your book group, how many books do you typically read or listen to in a month? That’s our first poll question of the year; let us know what you do by clicking here.

It is worth noting that the aforementioned Chris Bohjalian came in seventh with 49%. Click here for all the results.
Back in November, we changed the name of our “Reading Roundup” feature --- where we share top book picks from Indie Next and LibraryReads, as well as the Target Book Club title and Pennie's Pick for Costco --- to “Favorite Monthly Lists & Picks” to more accurately reflect the content we present to you. I am happy to announce that we have expanded this feature to include many other prominent picks.

We also have added various links to this feature so you can learn more about why these books were selected.
We just found out this week that the Simon & Schuster staff will be holding a Facebook Live chat for THE CLOCKMAKER’S DAUGHTER on Wednesday, January 30th at 5pm ET.

New Special Contest:
Enter to Win 12 Copies of MAID for Your Group
and the Opportunity to Chat with Author Stephanie Land
We are celebrating the January 22nd release of MAID: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive with a special contest that will give five groups the chance to win 12 copies of Stephanie Land's eye-opening memoir, plus the opportunity to chat with the author. Ten additional readers will be awarded one copy of the book, which exposes the reality of pursuing the American dream from below the poverty line. To enter, please fill out this form by Wednesday, February 6th at noon ET.
MAID: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land (Memoir)
At 28, Stephanie Land’s plans of breaking free from the roots of her hometown in the Pacific Northwest to chase her dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer were cut short when a summer fling turned into an unexpected pregnancy. She turned to housekeeping to make ends meet.
With a tenacious grip on her dream to provide her daughter the very best life possible, Stephanie worked days and took classes online to earn a college degree, and began to write relentlessly. She wrote the true stories that weren’t being told: the stories of overworked and underpaid Americans. Of living on food stamps and WIC (Women, Infants and Children) coupons to eat. Of the government programs that provided her housing, but that doubled as halfway houses. The aloof government employees who called her lucky for receiving assistance while she didn’t feel lucky at all. She wrote to remember the fight, to eventually cut through the deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor.
MAID explores the underbelly of upper-middle-class America and the reality of what it’s like to be in service to them. “I’d become a nameless ghost,” Stephanie writes about her relationship with her clients, many of whom do not know her from any other cleaner, but who she learns plenty about. As she begins to discover more about her clients’ lives --- their sadness and love, too --- she begins to find hope in her own path.
Her compassionate, unflinching writing as a journalist gives voice to the “servant” worker, and those pursuing the American Dream from below the poverty line. MAID is Stephanie’s story, but it’s not her alone. It is an inspiring testament to the strength, determination and ultimate triumph of the human spirit.

"What's Your Book Group Reading This Month?" Contest: Enter to Win 12 Copies of THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT
by Chris Bohjalian for Your Group
Each month, we ask book groups to share the titles they are reading that month and rate them. From all entries, three winners will be selected, and each will win 12 copies of that month’s prize book for their group. Note: To be eligible to win, let us know the title of the book that YOUR book group is CURRENTLY reading, NOT the title we are giving away.
Our latest prize book is THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT by Chris Bohjalian, which is now available in paperback. In this spellbinding psychological thriller, a flight attendant wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man --- and no idea what happened. To enter, please fill out the form on this page by Wednesday, February 6th at noon ET.
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT by Chris Bohjalian (Psychological Thriller)
Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. She sees his dark hair. His utter stillness. And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets.
Afraid to call the police --- she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home --- Cassie begins to lie. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and pilots in the van. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first class cabin. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate. Soon it's too late to come clean --- or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who did?
Set amid the captivating world of those whose lives unfold at 40,000 feet, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT unveils a spellbinding story of memory, of the giddy pleasures of alcohol and the devastating consequences of addiction, and of murder far from home.

STRANGERS IN BUDAPEST by Jessica Keener
Now Available in Paperback
STRANGERS IN BUDAPEST by Jessica Keener (Psychological Thriller)
Budapest: gorgeous city of secrets, with ties to a shadowy, bloody past. It is to this enigmatic European capital that a young American couple, Annie and Will, move from Boston with their infant son shortly after the fall of the Communist regime. For Annie, it is an effort to escape the ghosts that haunt her past and Will wants simply to seize the chance to build a new future for his family.
Eight months after their move, their efforts to assimilate are thrown into turmoil when they receive a message from friends in the US asking that they check up on an elderly man, a fiercely independent Jewish American WWII veteran who helped free Hungarian Jews from a Nazi prison camp. They soon learn that the man, Edward Weiss, has come to Hungary to exact revenge on someone he is convinced seduced, married and then murdered his daughter.
Annie, unable to resist anyone’s call for help, recklessly joins in the old man’s plan to track down his former son-in-law and confront him, while Will, pragmatic and cautious by nature, insists they have nothing to do with Weiss and his vendetta. What Annie does not anticipate is that in helping Edward she will become enmeshed in a dark and deadly conflict that will end in tragedy and a stunning loss of innocence.
Atmospheric and surprising, STRANGERS IN BUDAPEST is, as bestselling novelist Caroline Leavitt says, a “dazzlingly original tale about home, loss and the persistence of love.

THE FLOATING WORLD by C. Morgan Babst
Now Available in Paperback
THE FLOATING WORLD by C. Morgan Babst (Fiction)
As the storm is fast approaching the Louisiana coast, Cora Boisdoré refuses to leave the city. Her parents, Joe Boisdoré, an artist descended from freed slaves who became the city’s preeminent furniture makers, and his white “Uptown” wife, Dr. Tess Eshleman, are forced to evacuate without her, setting off a chain of events that leaves their marriage in shambles and Cora catatonic --- the victim or perpetrator of some violence mysterious even to herself.
This mystery is at the center of Babst’s haunting and profound novel. Cora’s sister, Del, returns to New Orleans from the successful life she built in New York City to find her hometown in ruins and her family deeply alienated from one another. As Del attempts to figure out what happened to her sister, she must also reckon with the racial history of the city and the trauma of a disaster that was not, in fact, some random act of God but an avoidable tragedy visited on New Orleans’s most vulnerable citizens. Separately and together, each member of the Boisdoré clan must find the strength to remake home in a city forever changed.
THE FLOATING WORLD is the Katrina story that needed to be told --- one with a piercing, unforgettable loveliness and a vivid, intimate understanding of this particular place and its tangled past.

New Guide: WATCHING YOU by Lisa Jewell
A Bookreporter.com Bets On Title
WATCHING YOU by Lisa Jewell (Psychological Thriller)
Melville Heights is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Bristol, England; home to doctors and lawyers and old-money academics. It’s not the sort of place where people are brutally murdered in their own kitchens. But it is the sort of place where everyone has a secret. And everyone is watching you.
As the headmaster credited with turning around the local school, Tom Fitzwilliam is beloved by one and all --- including Joey Mullen, his new neighbor, who quickly develops an intense infatuation with this thoroughly charming yet unavailable man. Joey thinks her crush is a secret, but Tom’s teenage son Freddie --- a prodigy with aspirations of becoming a spy for MI5 --- excels in observing people and has witnessed Joey behaving strangely around his father.
One of Tom’s students, Jenna Tripp, also lives on the same street, and she’s not convinced her teacher is as squeaky clean as he seems. For one thing, he has taken a particular liking to her best friend and fellow classmate, and Jenna’s mother --- whose mental health has admittedly been deteriorating in recent years --- is convinced that Mr. Fitzwilliam is stalking her.
Meanwhile, 20 years earlier, a schoolgirl writes in her diary, charting her doomed obsession with a handsome young English teacher named Mr. Fitzwilliam.
In Lisa Jewell’s latest brilliant “bone-chilling suspense” (People) no one is who they seem --- and everyone is hiding something. Who has been murdered --- and who would have wanted one of their neighbors dead? As “Jewell teases out her twisty plot at just the right pace” (Booklist, starred review), you will be kept guessing until the startling revelation on the very last page.
