New Releases - Oct. 28 - Nov. 2

Dear Readers,

It is November already, which means the holiday season is just around the corner.  We have a radio station which is already playing 24 hours of Christmas music.  I am not ready for any of that.  In fact the view from my desk includes a lovely view of Christmas boxed cards. *Sigh*

As snow starts to fly, it is just wonderful to sit down and relax with a great book.

Happy Reading
