NEW YEAR - NEW REWARDS!JANUARY 2017 NEWSLETTER

GLOBAL REWARDS UPDATE

E-BOOKS – WITH MILLIONS OF TITLES TO CHOSE FROM!E-books are now available within our rewards platform for all regions globally. Instantly access to over 1.5 million titles, including the latest releases and best sellers from all genres. You will notice that we have upgraded our search tool to include faceted navigation which enables users to quickly search for titles, authors, and categories of interest making it fast and easy to find your latest read.

Look for these Top 10 Best Sellers:

The Association of Small Bombs By Karan Mahajan A finalist for the National Book Award, Mahajan’s novel - smart, devastating, and unpredictable - follows the lives of those affected by a Kashmiri terrorist attack in a Delhi market.

The North Water By Ian McGuirePropelled by a vision that is savage, brutal and relentless, McGuire relates the tale of an opium-addicted 19th-century Irish surgeon who encounters a vicious psychopath on board an Arctic-bound whaling ship.

The Underground Railroad By Colson WhiteheadWith a conceit as simple as it is bold, Whitehead’s brave, necessary novel imagines a slave fleeing north on a literal underground railroad - complete with locomotives, boxcars and conductors.

The Vegetarian By Han Kang. Translated by Deborah SmithIn Han’s unsettling novel, a seemingly ordinary housewife — described by her husband as “completely unremarkable in every way” — becomes a vegetarian after a terrifying dream.

War and Turpentine By Stefan Hertmans. Translated by David McKayInspired by the notebooks and reminiscences of his grandfather, a painter who served in the Belgian Army in World War I, Hertmans writes with an eloquence reminiscent of W.G. Sebald as he explores the places where narrative authority, invention and speculation flow together.

At the Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails By Sarah BakewellAn impressively lucid book that offers a joint portrait of the giants of existentialism and phenomenology: Sartre, Beauvoir, Camus, Jaspers, Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger and more. The story divides between the characters who eventually out more-or-less right, like Beauvoir, and the ones who come out wrong, like Heidegger.

Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right By Jane MayerIn 1980, Charles and David Koch decided they would spend their fortune to elect conservatives to all levels of government, and the world of American politics has never been the same. Mayer spent five years looking into the Koch brothers’ activities for this thoroughly investigated, well-documented book.

Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City By Matthew DesmondIn May 2008, Desmond moved into a rooming house on the poverty-stricken North Side of Milwaukee. He diligently took notes on the lives of people on the brink of eviction: those who pay 70 to 80 percent of their incomes in rent, often for homes that are, objectively speaking, unfit for human habitation.

In the Darkroom By Susan FaludiWhen Faludi learned that her father had under-gone gender reassignment surgery, it marked the resumption of a difficult relationship. In this rich, arresting and ultimately generous memoir, Faludi tries to reconcile Steven, the overbearing patriarch her father once was, with Stefánie, the old woman she became.

The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between By Hisham MatarMatar’s father, Jaballa Matar, was abducted in exile in 1990 and turned over to the Libyan regime. Hisham Matar returned to Libya in the spring of 2012 and his extraordinary memoir of that time is so much more besides: a reflection on the consolations of art and an impassioned work of mourning.
