Dear Readers,
December is a lean time for new titles to hit the shelves. I really just don't understand why. Christmas is a time of year when people love to buy books for others. How much easier is it for those buying gifts for their favorite reader if the clerk in the store can say "Yes this book is brand new. Arrived this week. I know your reader has not read this book yet."
Thankfully we do get a few and the two titles we have here are by two favorite authors. They quickly were added to the TBR pile.
Happy Reading
