Click through to check out our list of the ten most interesting books coming out this month, and let us know which ones you’re most excited to dive into in the comments.
Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, Tom Mueller (December 5)
Sexy title aside, this is the most delicious crime world exposé you can hope to read this month — or probably ever. In this vividly rendered book about everyone’s favorite fine food item, Tom Mueller picks apart the wicked and illegal adulterated olive oil industry while doling out history and expert musings on the side. In a climate where it’s totally uncool not to know where your edibles are coming from, this book is must for those of us who keep a tub of the green stuff on hand at all times.

Love the list, but NSFW!
I’d also highly recommend Kathleen Winter’s Annabel (a best seller in Canada which, in the U.S., was released in January).
