Season's Greetings and See You In The New Year!
Updated: Mar 6

Hey, everyone
Yuletide in Germany is damp and cold, with a sprinkling of the white stuff. I don't like it but, if it stays as it is, it's not that bad. Keep your fingers crossed for me. We are closed from the 22nd of December, through to the 4th of January.
2022 hasn't been as easy as hoped for, for many of us, but I remain hopeful for the coming year! Until then, I wish you all Merry Christmas, Yuletide Blessings, Happy Holidays, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, Joyous Kwanzaa (plus any I may have missed out!) and a Healthy and Happy 2023.
The next newsletter will be going out on 1st February, so don't forget to subscribe to ensure you don't miss out on any deals. Also, if you have a new release or a sale, don't forget to either join our Facebook group Archaeolibrarians Book Group or email Archaeolibrarian@gmail.com so you can be included in the newsletter.
Until next time, take care and stay healthy!


Secret Santa Claus Club: A Tool to Help Parents Unwrap the Secret of Santa by Jeff Janke

Why do we spend so much time and effort creating a fairytale world for our children, just to take it away from them? Author Jeff Janke faced that dilemma three years ago when his daughter started questioning her belief in Santa Claus. Like most parents, he had two problems to solve--how to gently teach his child the true meaning of Christmas, and how to prevent her from spoiling the fairytale for other children. Out of this problem, Secret Santa Claus Club was born.
Secret Santa Claus Club is a beautifully illustrated story about a little girl thinking back on the magic of each Christmas. She remembers meeting Santa at the mall and seeing her first bike under the tree on Christmas morning. As time goes on, she starts to wonder if it's all real. When she decides she's ready to know the truth--her parents help guide her to the true meaning of the holiday.
Secret Santa Claus Club was written to be a tool for parents during these challenging moments. Combined with love, patience, and compassion, SSCC will help transition the reader from believing to becoming. At the end of the story, your child will be invited to join Secret Santa Claus Club. They'll understand the importance of keeping the secret, creating the magic for believers, and helping other members of the club.

ASSUMED by MHR Geer

When her friend Sandy asks for help, Anne Wilson leaves her small, lonely life in Miami for the picturesque island of Saint Martin. But as soon as she arrives, Sandy is murdered, and her death exposes lies: an alias, a secret past, stolen money. Suspected of murder and trapped on the island, Anne is shocked when a cryptic message arrives:
Find the money. Take it and run.
She follows Sandy’s trail of obscure clues, desperate for proof of her innocence and must decide if she can trust the two men who offer help-the dark, mysterious Brit or the American with a wide grin and a pickup truck. When memories resurface-dark truths she’d rather leave buried and forgotten, her past becomes intertwined with her present.
Her only way forward is to face her own secrets.

DNA Demons N Angels: What To Expect When You're Expecting Something Different by Katie Zaber

It’s weird how every woman reacts differently. How each pregnancy differs.
Mine is definitely unique.
My sense of smell became stronger, picking up the faintest odors, and my stomach was in constant turmoil. Those were the first signs.
And then I started eating. And eating. If I don’t, I get a migraine and people’s faces become blurry. Electronics seem to malfunction in my presence. And the nightmares—they don’t stop.
Something is changing my body.
Something that should have never happened.
Something that my husband and I had prevented from happening.
Something people say is miraculous.
The bigger I get, the more frequently I encounter people who become possessed. And the more often I wind up questioning if I am carrying a miracle baby.
The closer I get to the due date, the more I love this child and the more confident I am that I will protect my baby from anything.
Even its fate.
DNA Demons N Angels contains violence, swearing, and sex scenes. If you are looking for a clean, curse free book, this isn't it.
