The holiday season is in full swing. It might hit 60 degrees today, but that doesn't mean you can't turn on your oven and bake something delicious. And if you have a Christmas cookie exchange coming up, I have just the recommendations for you. The following digital magazines promise to please your cookie-loving taste buds. Or just have delight in looking at all the lovely food styling photos. I won't judge!
And if you check out all of these magazines by November 30, you can still enter the promotion for the iPad Mini the library is giving away! Make sure to fill out the entry form if you want to be considered for the promotion.

Book 1 would have set up that action nicely. This book reminded me of superhero movies--lots of high powered magic and muscle. And that muscle?

But back to Book 1. Burn for Me began and ended with well developed characters in addition to all that action. I couldn't wait to revisit Book 2 so I can move on to Book 3 (Wildfire). -Melody
