Book Wishlist for October

I know, it's not even September yet! But looking ahead to the new releases of late September/October, here's the ones that caught my eye. Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, a lot of the Christmas books make their debut in October. So I'll have plenty of time to read and recommend the good ones before Dec. 24!

1. Sunshine by Robin McKinley - this is apparently a reprint, but suddenly I'm hearing a lot of good things about this book - a kind of survivalist against the vampires book.

2. The Christmas Cookie Killer: A Fresh-Baked Mystery by Livia J. Washburn - Someone's knocking off old ladies at a cookie exchange. I'm going to up the irony by reading this while eating Christmas cookies. (;

3. Blood Lite edited by Kevin J. Anderson - Whimsical horror tales compiled by the Horror Writers' Association and containing such authors as Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kelley Armstrong and Sharyn McCrumb. I like whimsical horror!

4. Found You by Mary SanGiovanni - Someone is being stalked by a nightmare creature that may kill off the town. It's Halloween time and I want some scary books!

5. River Runs Red by Jeffrey J. Mariotte - Three friends drawn into a supernatural war. Halloween = scary books!

6. Addicted to Love by Lori Wilde - A hopeless romantic is left at the altar and wants to stop her town's "romance capital" reputation.

7. Christmas Weddings by Carole Mortimer, Shirley Jump and Margaret McDonagh - A romance short-stories collection themed for Christmas.

8. Come the Night by Susan Krinard - sounds like Romeo and Juliet meets werewolves.

9. Home for the Holidays by Lisa Plumley - a holiday romance meets Hollywood. Sounds fun!

10. Irreversible by Liz Maverick - A Shomi book about a woman living a manufactured life. I think.

11. Naughty or Nice by Sherri Erwin - A woman is torn between two men, one who is a bad boy and one who is a nice guy.

So that's what I'm looking forward to! Oh, there's one other book, but it's not until Oct. 28 and is technically a November release. And I've read it. Multiple times. (;
