Greetings! As you do your holiday shopping, remember that there are books for every person on your list and they are easy to wrap. So easy, in fact, that we'll wrap them for you for free!
We have lots of great books in stock, but if you need us to special order a book for that special someone, then please get us your order by the end of the day on Monday, December 16th, to guarantee before-Christmas delivery of any items in stock at our distributor.
Ladies, please consider making a book wish list. The men in your life want to make your wishes come true but they don't always trust their gift-giving judgment. Guys are usually so relieved to know you will like what they buy you that they'll often buy multiple things on your list. So help them out and make your book wish list today! Make sure to instruct them "Please shop at my favorite bookstore, Fiction Addiction!" To help you figure out just what you want, stop by the store and pick up our holiday catalog or just chat with us about what's new and exciting. Our staff likes nothing more than talking books! |

Jim McFarlane Recommends...

 The Midwife's Tale by Sam Thomas -- Now in Paperback!
Sam Thomas writes historical fiction the way I enjoy it: where the mindset (know your "station" and stay there) and the setting (York under siege during the English Civil War) are major characters who frequently assist or hinder the protagonist, but are always interesting. For example, a midwife was licensed by the city and in return had to force an unmarried mother-to-be to identify the father so that the father instead of the church poor fund would support the bastard child. Excellent novel, excellent mystery, excellent historical fiction.

The Absence of Mercy is a chilling psychological thriller that will both surprise and sadden. It will haunt your dreams and make you pull your children close to you.
Release Date: 11/19/13 - Format: Paperback - Price: $14.99
Beautifully written and with a bit of wit, Once Upon a Lie, is a compelling look at family secrets and loyalties, friendship, and retribution. Maeve Conlon is the divorced mother of two hard-to-handle teenage daughters, she is a struggling small business owner, and is responsible for her retired police-detective father who is succumbing to dementia. If that wasn't enough to drive her off the deep end, she soon finds it necessary to clear her father from suspicion in the shooting death of her cousin Sean.Release Date: 12/10/13 - Format: Hardcover - Price: $24.99

 Someone Else's Love Story by Joshilyn Jackson - Signed First Editions Available!

 Once Upon a Memory by Nina Laden Before and after take on new meaning in Laden's book, which follows a child trying to determine if a feather remembers when it was a bird, or if a book remembers it used to be just words. Gorgeous illustrations accompany the whimsical text in this picture book that asks, "What will you remember?" A book to be shared and cherished by parents and children everywhere.Release Date: 12/3/13 - Format: Hardcover - Price: $17.00
 Bits & Pieces by Judy Schachner Tink is a well-loved cat who has everything he could ever want. But when he's taken to the vet one day, it begins an obsession with the great outdoors that even a kitten companion can't overcome. It takes a big adventure for Tink to learn how much his family really does love him in beloved author Judy Schachner's adorable new picture book that kids are sure to love to Bits & Pieces.Release Date: 10/22/13 - Format: Hardcover - Price: $17.99
 Fault Line by C. Desir I can see this being a really important book, along the lines of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, but for a slightly older audience. Ben blames himself for his girlfriend Ani being drugged and raped at a party. Ani also blames herself and falls into a downward spiral, becoming promiscuous because she feels that's all that defines her any more. Ben wants to help Ani but doesn't know how, when she doesn't seem to want help. This book is more for friends and loved ones of people who have been raped, rather than for the victims themselves. It's an interesting perspective, and I think this could inspire a lot of good conversation about how to empathize with and help rape survivors. But be warned, there are a lot of triggers.Release Date: 10/15/13 - Format: Hardcover - Price: $16.99

 Little Santa by Jon Agee - Signed First Editions Available!
Have you ever wondered how Santa became Santa? What kind of child he was and what his family was like? I loved Jon Agee's vision of Little Santa's childhood, starting with the opening illustration of the boy Santa's round belly poking out of his red onesie. Every page is a treat. Don't read any reviews ahead of time; there are way too many spoilers. This book will make a wonderful keepsake and holiday gift for children and adults alike.

 The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer In 1974, six friends meet at a summer arts camp in upstate New York. Five are from wealthy homes, but one, Jules, is not -- her outsider's perspective on these friends and their lives forms the center of The Interestings, which tells their story over the next four decades. This is a funny, touching, and beautifully written story of friendship, secrets, sadness, envy, loyalty -- and, basically, life.Release Date: 4/9/13 - Format: Hardcover - Price: $27.95
