Hi friends,

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I enjoyed turkey and time with friends.

Today’s is a combination “Best of the Year” and gift guide. I pulled some of faves from the past year and paired them with the perfect recipient.

One of my favorites of the year is — appropriately enough — Layne Fargo’s The Favorites (more on it below). So I’ve teamed up with her publisher to give away ten copies of the new paperback. Even if you’ve read it, you might want this one since it includes a special exclusive chapter from Keith’s point of view. To enter, leave a comment with one of your best reads of the year.

And, now, what to gift to ..

The pair clung to each other — on the ice and off — as they navigated a turbulent childhood and rose to champion status, until their relationship and skating partnership collapse after a scandalous reveal at the Olympics.

Ten years after their final skate, an unauthorized documentary claims to tell the true story of ice dancing’s wild children through interviews with their friends, rivals and coaches. Instead of staying silent, Kat decides to finally share the secrets behind the obsession she and Heath have with each other.

Jia quickly realizes they’re the Park siblings, whose parents’ beauty empire is worth an estimated billion dollars. The family patriarch, though, is divorcing his dying wife and has offered her a settlement completely out of whack with their supposed net worth. The siblings — convinced their father is hiding funds in shady bank accounts — hire Jia to find the missing funds and force their dad to up his offer.
