Notable New Releases - December 2011

The new releases I'm most excited about this month:

December 5th
Winter Town
Wintertown by Stephen Emond
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
I've heard mixed reviews, but the story sounds intriguing.


December 6th
Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)
Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare
Margaret K. McElderry (Simon & Schuster)
I have been SO looking forward to this!  Clockwork Angel  was fabulous!


December 8th
Shattered Souls
Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey
Philomel (Penguin)
Debut paranormal YA about a girl who can speak to the dead and help them move on.  Has been getting good reviews


December 18th
Embrace
Embrace by Cherie Colyer
Omnific Publishing
Debut YA and I REALLY liked this.
Witchcraft, mystery, and an intense romance very cleanly done!


December 20th
Touch of Power (Healer, #1)
Touch of Power (Healer #1) by Maria V. Snyder
Mira (Harlequin)
Guessing from her Poison Study series this may be slightly more "adult" in the romance department, so probably not for teens.  However, for the older reader, Maria's world/character/romance building are fabulous.




December 27th
Why We Broke Up
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Contemporary YA - A girl gives her now ex-boyfriend a box containing mementos of all the reasons they broke up.  I've seen mixed reviews for this, but the concept sounds like it might be a cute story.
