My December reading usually consists of fun reads that involve Christmas. This reading tradition of mine really began in earnest when I was working retail during the holiday season. Exhausted when I would get home, all I wanted to do was read something fun and escapist, and a little bit of romance was always welcome in the mix. This Christmas season I've got two out of town weddings to attend, a couple of fun painting sessions, a family Christmas party, and a chance to see the Nutcracker with friends. A very busy December. I'm still needing those quiet reading moments to keep me in a festive mood and to recharge my batteries.
I've got a few books that I didn't finish last month that I'll be reviewing this month. And there may be a few surprises in the mix, too. The last week of December, I'll be revealing my top ten favorite reads of 2016.
Do you have a special book tradition for the holidays? Please share it!
I love Anne Fadiman's writing though I haven't read the one you listed. Homegoing is amazing, though a bit rough going at the beginning. Persistence is rewarded. In late December, after all the holiday rush is over I usually pick one favorite authors and read as many as I can of books I haven't read yet by that author. This year though, I have a stack of books I haven't gotten to this year that I really want to read. Maybe I'll do a post of that list on my blog. Happy Reading!!
