Because almost all books in the USA are published on Tuesdays, and this Tuesday was New Year's Eve, there are barely any books of note publishing this week. So, here's a peak at a handful of the hundreds of new and notable books BookBrowse will cover in the first quarter of 2020! Click any jacket for more information.

We add books on an ongoing basis, you can see all the 2020 books we've added to date at bookbrowse.com/coming_soon. 

Only BookBrowse members can request copies of books for discussion but the discussions themselves are open to all, so please join us! If you would like to be notified when a particular discussion opens, click the notify link and we'll send you a one-time message when the discussion(s) of interest open.

This infographic from Global English Editing offers definitions of 19 words for you to incorporate (or not!) into your daily vocabulary. Some of these have already entered the mainstream, such as "mansplaining", "glamping" and "sprog." Others may also be familiar to you, particularly if you read young adult books, and a few are common words that have taken on new meanings such as "shook" and "lit."

This is your last chance to enter our annual Big Holiday Wordplay, a seasonal tradition for 18 years.

There will be five winners. Three will be selected at random from the correct entries, two will be selected from all eligible entries - whether correct or not. So it is still worth entering even if you cannot solve any of the clues!

This contest will close on Jan 6, 2020.

To enter, decipher the 10 classic books and their authors from the clues below (e.g. the answer to M B by G F would be Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.) All ten books were published in the 20th century.
