FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Published in the 2nd week of the month:
Every year, BookBrowse gives away well over 1000 copies of books to members interested in reading and reviewing the titles. The month's book selection is sent to members around the middle of the month and they have about 5 days in which to make their choices. Over the past year, all members who have requested one or more books have received at least one book, usually on their first request, and many have received multiple books. For copyright reasons, we are only able to offer First Impressions books to our members resident in the USA.

The Children's Book
A.S. Byatt
A spellbinding novel that spans the Victorian era through the World War I years, and centers around a famous children's book author and the passions, betrayals, and secrets that tear apart the people she loves.
A Gate at the Stairs
Lorrie Moore
A novel on the anxiety and disconnection of post-9/11 America, on the insidiousness of racism, the blind-sidedness of war, and the recklessness thrust on others in the name of love.
Half Broke Horses
Jeannette Walls
Jeannette Walls's memoir The Glass Castle was "nothing short of spectacular" (Entertainment Weekly). Now, in Half Broke Horses, she brings us the story of her grandmother, told in a first-person voice that is authentic, irresistible, and triumphant.
Al Capone Shines My Shoes
Gennifer Choldenko
Moose and the cons are about to get a lot closer in this much-anticipated sequel to Al Capone Does My Shirts. Recommended for ages 10+.
This Is Where I Leave You
Jonathan Tropper
A riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind—whether we like it or not.
