For December, read a book with a beverage on the cover. Examples from Darla shelves:
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul by Douglas Adams (tea)
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn, ed. by Robert Lynn Asprin (mugs of ale)
Dearly Depotted by Kate Collins (flutes of champagne)
As always, let us know what you read, how you liked it, how it fits the challenge, and how long it had been in your TBR pile.

My pick for this challenge is Fast Women by Jennifer Crusie. I've been reading some of her older books more and her recent books too. I plan to get more of her books when ever I can :)

I think I have a Jennifer Crusie book somewhere on my shelf, waiting to be read. I am drawing a blank as to the title, but I don't believe it's the one you mention here.
I am glad you enjoyed this one!
Literary Feline - is it her recent book? I have read Don't Look Down and like it. But I haven't read Agnes and the Hitman yet but I will eventually :)
No, I believe it's one of her older books. Let me check . . . Faking It, published in 2002. Have you read that one?
What an interesting theme, Julia! Glad to hear you enjoyed reading this book. I haven't read this one yet, perhaps I should check this one out. ;)
Literary Feline - I have Fake It in my TBR piles, so I have not read it yet :) But do let me know what you think of it when you get the chance to read it :) I think however that maybe you be interested in reading the books that Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer write together.
Melody - If you ever read it, let me know how you like it :)
