Happy Holidays!

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I’m preparing this post ahead of time because I know this will be a busy time period for me. Either I’m recovering from a turkey coma or hiding from my sister because she’s super stressed about her wedding next week and taking it out on everyone.

Whatever it is, please wish me luck.

Since the holiday season is in full swing, I thought I would share some books I’ve read that center around the holidays.

Enjoy!
