New Releases - January 13 - 18

Dear Readers,

I am reading a book right now that I never thought I would read let a lone like.  It was one a couple different libraries asked me to read and give an honest review on.  Right now I am working my way through it, 622 pages of it, and I find it interesting enough to continue on.  So if it ends up being a good read I will be reviewing it soon here. 

None of these books are that title, but there are some good ones here to start the new year with.
