Book readers make plans for New Year’s Eve

Not everyone will be partying on New Year’s Eve, and many will not tune in to hear Taylor Swift sing about which boy is she is angry with today.

Many Kindle readers will be turned on around midnight as bookworms kick back to do what they most enjoy on New Year’s Eve.

The top Kindle book on New Year’s Eve, so far, is “Hopeless” by Colleen Hoover.

The book is so saucy that Amazon.com includes a rare disclaimer that "due to sexual content and heavy subject matter, this book is recommended for ages 17+."

Saucy is “in” this year. As of early Monday morning, 698 Amazon.com had reviewed it, giving it an average rating of 4.9 out of a possible 5.

Many other books are both popular and not quite as explicit.

Perhaps because many received Kindles for Christmas, some old favorites are making comebacks.

Among the Kindle books back in the Top 10 are “The Hunger Games,” by Suzanne Collins; “Water for Elephants” by Sara Gruen; “The Hobbitt” by J.R.R. Tolkien; “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky; and “Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming.
