Can you hear the Christmas carols starting? Just think… “Oh the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful. And since we’ve no place to go…” and I’ll end there because there is no chance it will ever snow where I am, but that’s okay. I’m still so eager for the holidays I can’t seem to help but get cheery at the mention of a nice warm fire & a good cup of cocoa. Of course I’d also add a good book to the mix! Thankfully, October is packed full of fantastic holiday releases as well as some wonderful Chick Lit novels I can’t wait to share with everyone. So, I’ll stop with the holiday talk and get to the books, for now.

Of course I missed one or two, I’m positive, but I’ll leave it to my trusty co-editors and our readers to let me know! Also, I skipped the paperbacks this month because I simply didn’t have time with everything going on. Is this something you’d like to see return next month? I’m honestly curious!

Have a fantastic month of reading! I look forward to hearing about your favorites from the list!

Remember, these are new releases in the US exclusively. They may have been released elsewhere around the globe previously, or perhaps not yet at all. Make sure to check with your local bookseller or online to see if you can purchase a copy where ever you may live in the world! And, as I said, enjoy!
