Books to Watch for- December 2021 -

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.

The Darkest Destiny (Lords of the Underworld, #15.5) — The Darkest Destiny

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.

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes — Cursed Carnival and other Calamities

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.
