Hello and welcome to my book corner. Its Saturday and I hope that everyone had a great week. As for me it was a busy work week, and now for the weekend. I still have some decorating to do for the holidays and I need to finish my Christmas cards. I was searching for a good book and I came across this post from Amazon about the Most anticipated read from Amazon Charts. So I thought I would share it with you all.
Cozy up with winter’s most essential reads, according to Amazon Charts pre-order data
Much of the country is already pulling out the hats and scarves, and the long, dark days have gotten plenty of readers in the mood to settle in with a good book. Based on pre-orders of print, audio, and Kindle eBook editions, these are the eight most anticipated reads in fiction this winter.
People seem to be eager for a little suspense, but in addition to new mysteries, you’ll find a young adult fantasy novel that picks up where the best-selling first book left off and a charming story of a little bookshop in Paris.
It’s a great time to hunker down in a cozy spot with a book or two to make the cold winter days a little brighter.
Cold Heart Creek
A young couple is found dead at their campsite, holding hands, and at first look it seems to have been an accident. But when Detective Josie Quinn arrives on the scene, she makes a gruesome discovery — a crude pendant has been forced into the throat of one of the victims. Digging into their lives, Quinn comes across a chilling photograph that leads her to another victim and another pendant. Her own life is in emotional turmoil, but Quinn is determined to find the killer before he strikes again. The seventh book in this popular thriller series releases on December 2, 2019.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance
Tomi Adeyemi’s debut novel, Children of Blood and Bone, exploded onto best-seller lists last year, as her bold world-building and diverse characters brought a fresh and original voice to young adult fantasy. The book has also gained a large adult following as well. It was selected as the first book of Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show summer reads book club and won a spot on our own Amazon Editors’ Top 20 Best Books of 2018 list. Readers have been eagerly awaiting the sequel, Children of Virtue and Vengeance, and Adeyemi deftly catches readers up again without being obvious about it, something rarely done and the hallmark of an exceptional sequel. The battle for equality in a world of magic and corruption continues, and in book two things get increasingly complex and exciting. Jump back into the action, suspense, and Orisha magic on December 3, 2019.
