A mug of hot cocoa stirred with a peppermint stick awaits on the end …

A Novel Christmas List – Especially for Guys
Now, don’t get me wrong. Just because I recommend these books for that special man in your life, doesn’t mean they won’t appeal to women.

November 2013 – Novel Anticipation
SINGULARITY, The Jevin Banks Experience Book #2 by Steven James (Revell) – As I mentioned in my What Books are on Your Nightstand? post, I’ve already read Singularity, so this is more of a Novel Recommendation than Anticipation.
