Cozy Socks & Fuzzy Slippers - December 2014

December, oh what a month! Hot chocolate, spiced cider, the smell of pine trees, and tinsel constantly trailing behind your shoes.  A time for family and friends to get together and share in the blessing they have been given during the past year. Let's take a quick look at some exciting happening for the month of December.

the book report

2104 has been a big year for Brandon Sanderson and in a recent blog post he highlights what 2014 brought him and where he'd love to go in the future.  If you're not familiar with Sanderson take a few moments to check out his work and his site.  You won't be sorry you did.

Norman Bridwell passes away at 86.  Bridwell was the author of the 'Clifford The Big Red Dog' series and having read those books as a child I'll be passing them onto my children in the future.  Thanks for the adventures Mr. Bridwell!

J.K. Rowling is at it again! December has been a busy months for the author of the Harry Potter franchise with short stories released on Pottermore, the announcement of a screen adaptation of 'The Cuckoo's Calling' by BBC, and both flack and praise via twitter for her decisions.
