Publishers Weekly recently named several Penguin Random House authors to its Spring 2026 Writers to Watch list, recognizing a standout group of voices whose debuts are shaping the future of literary fiction and children’s fiction. This year’s list reflects the breadth and ambition of storytelling coming from across the PRH community.

Congratulations to all on this well-deserved recognition and the exciting year ahead! Check Out Our "Spring 2026 Writers to Watch"

The weather prediction is pretty bleak for this weekend in much of the U.S. “Roughly 160 million are under alerts for snow, sleet and freezing rain” according to the National Weather Service. Best to stay cozy indoors, with a good book, a good show or perhaps the pleasure of the two in one? You might be surprised to learn how many novels have reality show plotlines. We’ve gathered a good batch below offering peak escapism. Have a safe weekend!

Author Emily Henry and the Berkley team at the Los Angeles premiere.

Netflix’s film adaptation of the #1 New York Times bestseller PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry (published by Berkley in 2021, with subsequent editions, including a deluxe and movie tie-in collector’s edition in 2025) debuted on Friday, January, 9, and quickly became the #1 movie in the U.S. on Netflix. In the run-up and following its release, the buzz around PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION has been nonstop. As of the first week of release, the social hashtag #peoplewemeetonvacation has already amassed about 60K+ posts on Instagram, 560+ million views on TikTok, and on the day of release, it was trending with over 3 million posts on Threads.

THE DEMON OF UNREST by Erik Larson: Coming in Paperback!
January 16, 2026

The Crown Publishing Group is thrilled to announce the March 10, 2026 paperback release of the #1 New York Times bestseller, THE DEMON OF UNREST: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson. In his last three riveting books, Erik Larson took us deep into the heart of wartime Europe. Now he brings us back to our own shores, to another time of crisis. In THE DEMON OF UNREST, he brilliantly captures the pivotal five months between Abraham Lincoln’s election in November 1860 and the bombardment of Fort Sumter the following April—a dramatic period that put the United States on a path to self-destruction.

This February, ATMOSPHERE (Ballantine Books), Taylor Jenkins Reid’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel, will be celebrated with two unforgettable, immersive experiences in Chicago and Jersey City. From planetarium experiences and cosmic light shows, these events invite readers to celebrate love, science, and storytelling this Valentine's season.

As The New York Times bestseller 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin illustrates, pivotal years in our history have ripple effects and lessons for today.

January 8, 2026

WaterBrook, the flagship imprint of Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026 with a yearlong campaign highlighting the imprint’s history, authors, and continued mission to publish books that honor God and help readers deepen their faith.

Congratulations to everyone involved for recognizing these standout works early, nurturing new talent, and amplifying our authors' voices.

January 5, 2026

We’re proud to celebrate the Penguin Random House titles recognized in Publishers Lunch’s "The Best Lists 2025". Drawing from 55 "votes" across an array of literary sources, including critics’ year-end lists, major award nominees, and bookseller and librarian picks, Publishers Lunch compiled lists of 10 standout titles in various genres from this past year.

On the 2025 list, many Penguin Random House titles were honored across the fiction, nonfiction, and children's books categories. In fiction, AUDITION by Katie Kitamura (Riverhead) scored the top book of the year.

We extend a warm congratulations to our teams and authors whose work earned this incredible distinction and made 2025 a year to remember!

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” as the song goes. If you’ve been getting cozy with your remote and watching holiday romance movies then you should also be smitten with this season’s array of holiday romance novels. We think you’ll find they aren’t quite as formulaic, too. Cue the gifts and stocking stuffers!
