Best-selling Books for Christmas
The best of the best make the lists this month as must-buy books before the year is over and done. From the fun and fanciful, to a new addition in a popular series. This year's Noble Prize winning author's collection of heartwrenching stories compliments the country's most revered thriller writer as he tackles a classic tale. These bestsellers represent a rainbow of talent and compelling storytelling.
Cooling weather means curling up under a blanket and losing yourself in a book. Winter is the season of emotions and the right story can enrapture you for hours. Be it a haunting tale about a young girl slowly losing her grip on reality, or a new couple trying to navigate their passionate romance. Or how about a mystery that harkens back to the tales of your kooky southern grandma, or even venturing into worlds that look nothing like our own. This week try out some reads that are guaranteed to pull your heartstrings and leave you wanting more.
With kids back in school that means moms (and dads) can now be found parked in the carpool lane before afternoon classes end. As a captive audience why not spend the time in the front seat reading some hot new books. Slip into the story of a young woman whose perfect-seeming life is anything but, or a novel with a husband whose secrets are bursting at the seams. Read about a time traveling dragon determined to end humanity, or question if your neighbors are really who they make themselves out to be. You can find all these novels in bookstores or in e-format for your favorite reader.
School is starting back up and book clubs are coming back from the summer break. But what to pick as a selection to stir interest and rev up the reading? We've got an assortment of every type of book to appeal to even the most jaded reader: dive into the background of today�s suspense authors with an anthology of the women suspense writers who came before, or get ready for the fall television season with a book a new series is based on, or a contemporary novel of relationships surviving through changes, and even a modern gothic. You�ll find something in our bag to discuss at your book club.
Summer is heating up, but that doesn�t mean you have to. Stay cool with some reads you might have missed, or get ahead of the trends that all your friends will be talking about come August. Whether you�re looking for a chilling thriller, a mystery with a furry friend, a romantic getaway on the run, or something spicy to keep you up all night, these five books might just be the next big thing.
July Fourth is just a few days away and families are packing up for a weekend at the beach, or maybe preparing for the neighborhood block party or friendly get together. But you can beat the heat with more than just an icy treat. From stories about women trying to piece their families back together, to one struggling to understand her young son's cruelty, staying cool has never been more suspenseful. You can honor the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg or you can just sit back and watch young love unfold at a beach resort. Enjoy a vacation in your mind, no sunscreen required!
Summer love is in the air and even if you're happily settled, or still looking, you can find wedded romance in a good book. Look through the eyes of a dressmaker trying to find love, a group of gossipy friends, a runaway bride unsure of her choices, or even a werewolf searching for Mrs. Right. Whether you're the blushing bride or an eager daydreamer, there's no denying the pull and excitement of a summer wedding.
As stylish as you are in your appearance sometimes the perfect accessory is a hot book, but what to pick? For the woman who enjoys crafts we have the perfect book full of southern charm. Stay ahead of trends with a haunting story for the younger reader or a sexy update to a classic story.

If you�re the kind of person who likes the latest and greatest here are six books, perfect to your style.
Sometimes it's fun to escape from the real world through a great book. In the real world you can't follow a serial killer, or have dinner with a vampire, or even find yourself wrapped up in a spicy office romance. But a good book entices and excites, and there is nothing better than losing yourself in a suspenseful thriller. This week the Mystery Writers of America announce their winners of the 2013 Edgars at a banquet held in New York. Widely acclaimed to be the crowning of the best in suspense and mystery, the Edgars (named after Edgar Rice Burroughs) celebrate the best writing in everything from television scripts to novels.
Spring is officially here and the timing is perfect to discover new and uncharted fantastical lands.

Spring is right around the corner, and families are planning their trips to the beach or taking advantage of one last good week of snow for skiing. But what do you do when you've tucked the kids in for the night, or you need something to keep them occupied during the drive home? Reading is the best activity for any spring break down time. Escape to the glamor of old Hollywood, or time travel with some tough demon hunters. You can also expand your mind with a stellar debut novel, or watch a young romance flourish through mix tapes. And don't forget about something spicy to read when everyone else is asleep. Even if you aren't going anywhere for spring break, or your holiday is over, picking up a book is the perfect excuse for adventure.
