The holidays are almost here - which might be why December is a slow month for book releases. Though let's be honest - that's probably a good thing, considering how many fantastic books have come out this year (not to mention what with holiday shopping, our wallets could use a break!). But quiet as this month is, it certainly doesn't mean that 2012 will go out without some pretty cool books coming out before the year comes to a close.

So, get ready for your to-read pile to grow with the last YA & MG books of 2012 that have caught my eye!
