Night School by Lee Child
Jack Reacher, book 21

It’s 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he’s off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind.

Two other men are in the classroom—an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there.

Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor—a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: “The American wants a hundred million dollars.”

For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don’t get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism.

My Princess Boy by Cheryl Kilodavis (twitter)
picture book

Dyson loves pink, sparkly things. Sometimes he wears dresses. Sometimes he wears jeans. He likes to wear his princess tiara, even when climbing trees. He's a Princess Boy.

Inspired by the author's son, and by her own initial struggles to understand, this is a heart-warming book about unconditional love and one remarkable family. It is also a call for tolerance and an end to bullying and judgments. The world is a brighter place when we accept everyone for who they are.

Something Christmas-y for the Christmas Spirit Read-a-Thon/Reading Challenge

These are just the newest but I forgot about "A Holiday Yarn" by Sally Goldenbaum. I searched "Christmas" in my order history at amazon and came up with 218 titles! Granted, I've read a lot of them but who doesn't like to re-read Christmas books? Plus there's one series that is so funny, I re-read it any time!

Twelve of Santa's Elves grow up and hate Christmas. They come to earth, find each other, live together, start businesses, help people, find their mates, and in the process deal with witches, wolves and other paranormals plus one of the fathers comes calling. Great series, just a heads up . . .  it's gay erotica.

Str8te Boys by Evangeline Anderson

How far would you dare to go…to win it all?

Maverick Holms and Duke Warren share almost everything—a college soccer team, an apartment and the same extremely competitive nature. Thanks to that never-back-down spirit, they’re about to share more than they bargained for.

The game is “gay chicken”. The rule: get as close as possible without kissing, and the one that pulls away first is the loser. The problem: neither of them likes to lose. It isn’t long before the game becomes an excuse to touch and kiss in every possible forbidden way. And after they pose for a gay website to earn extra money, things really heat up.

Suddenly Duke is talking lifetime commitment, and Mav is backpedaling as hard as he can, not sure if he’s ready to accept all his best friend is offering him. Or the truth about what he is.

Thick and Creamy by Shea Balik
Cedar Falls, book 10 of 16
(over 18, m/m, BDSM - not the best intro to the series but still a good addition)

The moment Taden McIntire’s gaze lands on Will Cunningham he's fascinated by the blue-eyed blonde. Even when he's rejected, Taden can’t seem to take his mind off the sinfully sexy man.

Just when he thinks this might go down as the worst New Year’s ever, Taden quite literally walks into his life and refuses to leave.

There is something about Taden that calls to the sub in Will, but he’s made a promise to never go down that road again. Can Will get over his past hang ups and give Taden a chance?
