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.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
Helen Simonson |
|
You are about to travel to Edgecombe St. Mary, a small village in the English countryside filled with rolling hills, thatched cottages, and a cast of characters both hilariously original and as familiar as the members of your own family. |
The Postmistress
Sarah Blake |
|
The Postmistress is an unforgettable tale of the secrets we must bear, or bury. It is about what happens to love during wartime, when those we cherish leave. And how every story-of love or war-is about looking left when we should have been looking right. |
Heresy
S.J. Parris |
|
Masterfully blending true events with fiction, this blockbuster historical thriller delivers a page-turning murder mystery set on the sixteenth-century Oxford University campus. |
The Swan Thieves
Elizabeth Kostova |
|
Kostova's masterful new novel travels from American cities to the coast of Normandy, from the late 19th century to the late 20th, from young love to last love. The Swan Thieves is a story of obsession, history's losses, and the power of art to preserve human hope. |
36 Arguments for the Existence of God
Rebecca Goldstein |
|
A hilarious, heartbreaking, and intellectually captivating novel about the rapture and torments of religious experience in all its variety. |
