Alright people, it's officially holiday season. I can't believe it's already that time of year again but somehow here we are. Our resident Romance and Mystery & Suspense experts have picked out some of their favorite holiday themed books just for you. Enjoy!
Romance
"'Tis the season for sipping hot chocolate by the fire and cozying up with a heartwarming romance. My favorites are always the anthologies: I can read a story in a single sitting and discover new romance authors in one fell swoop (of doves, natch). Whether you like slow burn or fires roaring - in their loins, duh - there's a bit of something merry for every type of romance reader." - Danielle
