In an effort to tell you what books are releasing before they actually release, here are December’s new releases. As with November, there will not be release dates. Therefore, some of these books may be released November 24 and some as late as December 29. I find the list that I use is not the most reliable in terms of how they calculate the month. As always, if any releases are missing, please feel free to add to this list.

FYI: This month, we listed anthology, chick lit, contemporary/romantic contemporary suspense, fantasy, historical, and paranormal releases. You can click here for Inspirational, Harlequin category books, and other subgenres.

None of these are auto buys for me so I'm good (which means I can catch up on the books I already own). I do have a heavier January/February so I think I'll appreciate the slow month for me. \:\)
