More December New Releases

I am pretty excited to look at a couple more books coming out this December, both on the 27th.


First, we have Darth Plagueis by James Luceno. I don't read a lot of Star Wars fiction, but Luceno's name on this one drew my attention immediately. Plagueis was the Sith Lord Palpatine used to temp Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side. This will be his story, and I am eager to read it!


On a lighter note there is the newest Magic Tree House book by Mary Pope Osbourne, Abe Lincoln at Last!


Enjoy these late-December releases!

So many good books - here's hoping my December  (and yours) is full of lots of reading time!

Waiting on WEDNESDAY: NOVEMBER new releases

My list of new releases for November is smaller than I usually have. I hope that doesn't mean I am going to miss something!

If I find any other new things coming out in November (other than the last Harry Potter movie coming out on the 11th), I'll pass it along.

Waiting on WEDNESDAY

My To Be Read pile (or TBR) is really a To Be Read bookcase - five bowing shelves of books that I want to read but just haven't gotten to yet. Here are a few titles from my shelves.

NERDS: Book Three: The Cheerleaders of Doom

These fun books for kids should be a hit - all from great series.

Happy reading!

Waiting on WEDNESDAY

Since the announcement of the closure of Borders, I have spent a lot of time there, looking at and buying books. Came across these two that looked like a lot of fun. I'm hoping to get into a more regular routine soon, so I can do some more reading.
