BOOK NEWS: November 29, 2016

Posted on by Jaymie

It’s Monday; tomorrow is release day! Another small list of new releases as we see November wrap up.  I’m not even going to break things into sections again this week. We’ll keep things simple!

Here are the books releasing on November 29, 2016 that you might be interested in:

big-bear-small-mouse whatever-after-sugar-and-spicecharming-life-of-izzy-malone princess-leia-royal-rebelodds-of-loving-grover-cleveland

first-degree-muddershades-of-wrathhaunting-of-barry-allen star-trek-prey-hall-of-heroes talking-as-fast-as-i-can getaway-with-god-27th

Big Bear, Small Mouse (The Bear Books) – The Bear series has moved to non-fiction books with common vocabulary for young children (colors, numbers, opposites, etc.). The illustrations for this series are gorgeous and I love them! This would be a great book for parents or grandparents of small children as well as for Kindergarten and Preschool classrooms.
Sugar and Spice (Whatever After 10) – Terrific fractured fairy tale series about a girl and her brother who travel through a magic mirror into common fairy tales where something goes wrong and they have to fix the story so the characters get their happily ever after. This story tackles the tale of Hansel and Gretel.
The Charming Life of Izzy Malone – I’ve already ordered this one because I can’t wait to read about Izzy, a girl who doesn’t fit in and has to complete an at-home charm school course because of all the trouble she gets in.
Princess Leia: Royal Rebel (Backstories) – I fell in love with this Scholastic series when I read the Batman and Wonder Woman backstories. There’s also Superman, Supergirl and Harley Quinn. They will be adding Batgirl and Darth Vader in  early 2017. Each book dives deep into the character’s backstory. I can’t wait to read this one!
The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland – This YA story about four teens at a camp for at-risk kids sounds fantastic. (Amazon is offering it on Kindle for only $4.99 which is amazing for a brand new book.) It releases this Thursday, December 1.
First Degree Mudder (A Pacific Northwest Mystery) – Book 4 in the Pacific Northwest mystery series starring a writer for an extreme sports magazine
Shades of Wrath (A Caprice De Luca Mystery) – Book 6 in the Caprice de Luca mystery series about a home stager. I just recently read the first book in this series, and I liked it. Caprice was a great character.
Flash: The Haunting of Barry Allen – My family of super-hero lovers really enjoys the DC Comics TV series like Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and The Flash. This book is an original story about Barry Allen, the Flash, from the TV show. The story will continue with Arrow: A Generation of Vipers in spring 2017.
Prey: Book Three: The Hall of Heroes (Star Trek 3) – The final book in the Prey series from Star Trek about the Klingon Empire
Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between) – I never watched The Gilmore Girls, but I  know they are HUGELY popular, especially right now. Fans of the series might enjoy this memoir.
Getaway with God: The Everywoman’s Guide to Personal Retreat – This sounds like a terrific resource for women longing for time away with the Lord, whether it’s just for an afternoon or for a longer time of retreat and refreshing.

Happy Reading!
