5 Books for the Holiday Season

Are you feeling the sweater weather and the Christmas Starbucks drinks? Do you find yourself constantly looking for a good book to pair with the season? If yes, I've got the solution for you! Here are my top five holiday book recommendations. Please note that these are in no particular ranking! :)

1. Let It Snow by John Green, Lauren Myracle, and David Levithan 

To be frank, I will read any John Green YA book. I really, truly would. And as most of his books go, this definitely didn't disappoint. Filled with love, hashbrowns, and lots of snow, this is one Christmas story that will make you go "ho ho ho!" 

2. My True Love Gave to Me by various authors

Filled with a diversity of twelve stories by twelve YA authors, you're bound to find at least one tale that will make an impact on you, even if just in a little laugh or memorable quotation. In my case, I favored Jenny Han and Rainbow Rowell's stories the most. Why, you ask? You'll just have to read the book to find out! ;) 

3. The Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater (Shiver, Linger, and Forever)

The first two books on my list were contemporary reads. It's now time for something more eerie and peculiar, in comparison. Paranormal events will occur in this book, as well as sassiness and snow. 

4. Home for the Holidays by Heather Vogel Frederick

This is the fifth installment in the Mother-Daughter Book Club Series, which I read earlier this year. Honestly, this series is under-hyped compared to a couple more middle-grade books for girls. The characters are heart-felt and relatable in the sense that they're all flawed in their own ways. Each of the girls in the book club each hold their own distinct personalities that represent how despite differences, they manage to get along pretty well. 

5. The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling 

All that I can say is that re-reading a couple of your favorite books can help ignite the holiday spirit of joy.
