This children’s book is full of puzzles and mysteries that everyone will love, no matter their age. (Plus, Disney recently made it into a tv series!)
This college coming of age story is the perfect fall read, if only for all the mentions of sweaters and pumpkin lattes. And if you love a slow burn romance, this YA novel is for you.
This book gets a lot of hype, and it deserves it! The 1950s setting transports you back to the golden age of Hollywood and delivers the complexity of life in the spotlight. It’ll make you want to dress up in Hollywood glam and watch black and white films.
This contemporary queer romance has just a dash of magic that makes it all the more amazing. Magic subways, found family, and a romance that spans decades, Casey McQuiston’s second novel is even better than the first.
This sweet YA romance follows a red notebook through New York City at Christmas as it is passed back and forth between two teenages struggling through the holidays. For a story of adventure and love, pick up this book during the holidays (and once you're done, watching the show on Netflix, or read the next two books in the series!).
In a semi-magical, lovely romance from one of my favorite authors, follow Georgie McCool as she spends the holidays in her childhood bedroom, talking to her husband through a time traveling phone. At 37 years old, Georgie is calling her husband's 22 year old self (then boyfriend) from the landline in her mom's house. A mystical story of finding your elf and realizing what you want, this is a great holiday read in a brand new Christmasy cover!
This brand new holiday romance is full of twist and turns and reads like your favorite holiday Hallmark movie. When twin sisters Cass and Charlie switch lives during the holidays, they don't expect to have all the complications that come with their adult lives. If you are looking to cozy up with a light-hearted holiday read, this is the book to pick up.
I couldn't round out my holiday picks without this classic children's book. I loved reading about Corduroy's adventures at Christmas the entire holiday season, and hopefully your family will too! Goes best with some hot chocolate and cookie decorating, just like Corduroy!
