As the December holidays approach many readers like to read books that reflect the season. For some, that means taking out a copy of Dickens's A Christmas Carol or curling up with your old copy of Moore's A Night Before Christmas. We have those at the Library as well as lots of current fiction with holiday themes. Many authors publish a bit of Christmas fiction every year, often in the form of short novellas or quick-to-read mysteries, perfect for you to fit in some reading time in a busy day. May we suggest: a new mystery by the mother-daughter team of Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark, Dashing Through the Snow. Anne Perry checks in with A Christmas Grace, and we have several new works of holiday fiction for young adults , including Let it Snow: Three Holiday Romances from popular authors John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle.
A year doesn't go by without new Christmas cookbooks, and this year is no exception. There are several new cookbooks in our collection as well as many old favorites to help you plan your holiday baking.
The "green " theme has extended into the holiday nonfiction collection: we recommend that you check out Green Christmas by Jennifer Sander and A Greener Christmas by Sheherazade Goldsmith. Both will help you enjoy the holiday season while doing your part for the environment.
Pick up a copy of our New Holiday Reading list when you are in the Library, and happy holidays!
