December 14th: Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde
In another dystopian world, Eddie Russett has no desire to be anything but completely loyal to the Collective, who rule society through color. When he meets Jane, life as he knew it is shattered as she opens his eyes to the truth behind the “Colortocracy.” Fforde is equal parts humorous, genius, and ridiculous in this new romantic thriller.
Happy reading!!
