Gatsby’s Grand Adventures by Barbara Cairns & illustrated by Eugene Ruble: “Introducing Gatsby, the gallery cat, who loves exploring famous paintings at night. When he forgets to jump out before dawn, strange things happen to Winslow Homer’s ‘Snap the Whip.’ Children who enjoy animals and art will learn about an artist’s work through the adventures of a mischievous cat.” (November 2012)

The Christmas Cottage by Samantha Chase: “Lacey Quinn did not believe in happily ever after or the legend of the Christmas cottage. As maid of honor for her best friend Ava, her duties included decorating the cottage for the newlyweds. It was a simple enough task, but she hadn’t counted on sexy Ean Callahan, the bride-to-be’s brother, to be assisting her. Spending the evening ensconced in the overly romantic setting while a blizzard howls outside has Lacey wondering if fairy tales really do come true…” (November 2012)

Women of the Metro Ballet by Nicki Blumenau Bloch: “Women of the Metro Ballet captures the spice and spirit of New Orleans as it zooms in on an Uptown neighborhood, and specifically on the Common Grounds coffee shop. At its center are four young mothers who are struggling to raise their children, form meaningful relationships, and run their often hectic households. But encircling them are several impeding factors, including difficult sibling relationships, disengaged spouses, domestic abuse, and finally, life-threatening illness.” (December 2012)
