Welcome to the last week of our #RHCHoliday giveaways! Thank you all so much for playing along. We have really enjoyed hearing from you about what books you are excited about getting and giving this holiday season.
This week’s prize pack is what we are calling best bets. These are our biggest books of the fall, ones we loved and we know readers loved too! Perfect for giving to well, just about anyone. We feature new works from some of the biggest names in literature plus non-fiction from some very well known celebrities!

Yet it’s been a decade since she disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind her small daughter, husband, and the animals to which she devoted her life. All signs point to abandonment. . .or worse. Still Jenna–now 13 years old and truly orphaned by a father maddened by grief–steadfastly refuses to believe in her mother’s desertion.
Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella: Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) newly arrived in Hollywood and starry-eyed. She and her two-year-old daughter, Minnie, have relocated to L.A. to join Becky’s husband, Luke, who is there to handle PR for famous actress Sage Seymour. Red carpet premieres, velvet ropes, paparazzi clamoring for attention—suddenly Becky has everything she’s ever wanted.
