Most Anticipated New Releases of December 2013

The following list is comprised of books and novellas my friends, family, and I are most looking forward to reading in December. It also consists of books by popular authors and others I've heard a lot of hype about. I am not flawless and sometimes I'll accidentally leave one or more books off the list that I shouldn't. Let me know if one of your favorites is missing. Sometimes my search techniques just don't work as well as I wish they did.

The list is divided into weekly releases, of which there are 5 this month. If you'd like to read a book's description, just click on the cover photo and you'll be magically transferred to Goodreads. Remember a book a day keeps the boredom at bay! Happy reading.

P.S. Sorry for being so late with this list this month. I had a family emergency that kept me from creating it earlier. I decided to no break with tradition and put this one up despite the late timing. I can now concentrate on the list for January. Enjoy!
