Laydown Lowdown

Christmas Day is just a week away!! Are you ready?  Some of today's new releases may be just right to fill those stockings.

For the sleuths in your life, you may want to check out "Whispering Death," by Gary Disher or "Slash & Burn," by Colin Cotterill.

For your friends who are out of this world, you may want to look for "Nexus," by Ramez Naam or "The Merchant of Dreams," by Anne Lyle over in the Science Fiction/Fantasy section today.

If your friends and family like sappy holiday movies and jewelry commercials, perhaps you'll want to pick up "The Secret Life of Lady Lucinda," by Sophia Barnes, or "Renegade," by Nancy Northcott," from the Romance section.

"Crash" and "Clash," the first and second installments in Nicole Williams' contemporary Romeo and Juliet style e-book trilogy make their paperback debut today.  Barnesandnoble.com classifies the book as Young Adult but the steamy covers and the description, "This racy romance is hot, hot, hot!" Confused me.  So, you be the judge as to whether to buy it for your teen or adult romance fan.

Otherwise, in Young Adult, you'll find the final entry in Laurie Faria Stolarz's "Touch" series.  I can't wait to find out where Camelia's psychometric gifts lead her in her "Deadly Little Lessons" and if she is finally able to choose between Ben and Adam! "The Darkest Minds," by Alexandra Bracken and "The Darlings In Love," by Melissa Kantor are also available today.

Happy shopping and happy reading!  Remember to support your local bookstores whenever possible. 

And don't forget to check back tomorrow as we celebrate our ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY with LOTS OF GIVEAWAYS!!!  I'm shouting this Oprah style, it's going to be awesome!
