New Releases for December

Once again, we are in the last month of another year. I can’t believe that 2012 is almost over. It seems like my kids just started school… Since it’s almost Christmas, I hope this list will help you decide what books to give someone, what books to ask for, and/or what books to purchase with those gift cards you might receive. As for me, I’ve yet to read any December books. I know, I know, but I’m woefully behind on my reading. Perhaps that is what I should wish for—more time to read! I am looking forward to reading The Importance of Being Wicked by Miranda Neville and Obsession Wears Opals by Renee Bernard. 

Which December releases have you read? Of those, which ones do you recommend? Which ones are you most looking forward to reading? Tell us and one lucky commenter will win a random book from my prize stash!

 

Until January, happy reading!
