NEW HEATHER'S PICKS & INDIGO SPOTLIGHT

Indigo CEO and Chief Booklover, Heather Reisman's latest Heather's Picks are The Nightingale and The Girl On the Train.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes Kristin Hannah's next novel, The Nightingale-an epic love story and family drama set at the dawn of World War II.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, features three women and three men, connected through marriage or infidelity. Each is to blame for something. But only one is a killer in this nail-biting, stealthy psychological thriller about human frailty and obsession. 

The Indigo Spotlight program introduces readers to a new standout title every month selected and curated by our expert book buyers. We're pleased to announce that February's Indigo Spotlight title is Lost & Found by Brooke Davis:

Little Millie Bird was left behind in a department store, but she's not the one who needs rescuing. Warm up to a charming debut novel in the spirit of A Man Called Ove that takes on the subject of loss with humour, hope and honesty.

#WorldsBiggestBookClub!

Take part in Indigo's monthly Twitter party that brings book lovers together to discuss great reads in 140 characters or less. This month's #WorldsBiggestBookClub title is a New York Times bestseller We Were Liars by E. Lockhart.

Join an online discussion on Wednesday, Feb 25 at 7 p.m. EST. Follow @chaptersindigo and use #WorldsBiggestBookClub to take part in the online discussion.
