We have a whole new batch of new releases to discuss. And by “batch,” I mean over forty! We also have two books with the same title released this month, which I thought was kind of neat. I think we’ve name-checked all the big releases; I couldn’t think of anything we left off. If we did, please chime in below. What November books are on your to-read list?
Reindeer Games is available for preorder for only 99c! This features nine holiday romances with a snowed in theme, and it comes out December 1. I’ll definitely be preordering this one as it features some authors that I absolutely love. Are you interested as well?
