I love this time of year when all of the best books of the year lists are posted. There’s still a month left in 2021 though. These are the books I’m looking forward to for the end of the year.
Author: Gena Showalter
Release Date: December 7
The Lord of the Underworld books are my steamy romance guilty pleasure.
Author: Susan Higginbotham
Release Date: December 7
I’ve enjoyed Higginbotham’s books set in Tudor England and am excited to see her take on a famous American abolitionist. I love how she looks at historical events from so many different perspectives.
Author: Julie Klassen
Release Date: December 7
On the other end of the spectrum from The Lord of the Underworld series, I also enjoy a good clean Christian romance. This one has a mystery to solve as well.
This looks like a fun feel-good story about long time friends who play matchmaker for their deceased friend’s niece.
Editor: Rick Riordan
Release Date: December 8
I tell myself that I’m reading middle grade books so I can make better recommendations for my students. But, really they’re just fun reads, especially if Rick Riordan is involved.
Author: Charlie Donlea
Release Date: December 28
I typically read more cozy mysteries, but I’ve been gravitating towards more thrillers lately. I’ve never read anything by this author, but 9/11 connection piqued my interest.
Author: Sadequ Johnson
Release Date: December 28
Another new to me author. I realize this isn’t technically a new release because other formats were out earlier this year. But, I just discovered it when I was looking at the goodreads choice nominees for historical fiction.
