Sarah's Suggestions:
Thank You Sarah: The Woman Who Saved Thanksgiving by Laurie Halse Anderson-A great look at the story behind Thanksgiving.
Red Ranger Came Calling by Berkeley Breathed-I discovered this book several years back and it's now a tradition that Mr. GreenBeanSexyMan and I read this book every year. Last year, we had friends over for Christmas and I held "storytime" and read this book aloud! I'll be taking it to my in-laws and sharing it this year. I love the magic of the story.
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle-Christmas and romance goes together and this short story collection of three romances that intertwine is perfect with hot chocolate!
Duck for Turkey Day by Jacqueline Jules-I discovered this book this year and I love the sweet look at how different families celebrate "Turkey Day"
Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas-I read this in one sitting last year! It's a nice holiday romance that doesn't have a ton of cheese. I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series.
The Perfect Christmas by Debbie Macomber-OK, don't roll your eyes! (I know, I always think of Grandma's reading Debbie Macomber's books too!) I was surprised by how much I liked this book. It read a lot like a romantic comedy which I liked.
If Only in My Dreams by Wendy Markham-Christmas, Romance, Time Travel, and 1940s-that's I all I need to know-I'm sold!!

I love Lisa Kleypas! I'm reading her February 2012 release right now. It's been way too long since she's had a new release.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the "Thank You, Sarah" book at Barnes and Noble a few weeks ago and decided to give it a try. The kids at my school loved it! Even read it to the 4th and 5th graders. The author does a great job of making it a factual book that is a lot of fun (I mean, "Pilgrim Man" and "Turkey Dude" are some pretty funny possible superheroes!).
