Christmas is my favorite time of year and I have been looking for the perfect holiday read that captures the essence of the season. Over the years I have read many stories that haven't done Christmas justice but here are some I enjoyed!
What Light by Jay Asher
If I had to pick my favorite Christmas story this would be it! What Light captures the season perfectly by telling the story of Sierra and Caleb. Sierra spends one month out of the year in California at her family's Christmas tree farm. While she is there, she meets Caleb a boy known for chasing his sister with a knife and for using his work tips to buy Christmas trees for families unable to. What Light is all about forgiveness and hope for the future. Sierra and Caleb are different and fun to read about with their holiday festivities. Definitely pick it up and peruse (LOL)!
Twelve Days of Dash and Lily by David Levithan and Rahel Cohn
Dash and Lily are back for a sequel!! If you loved the adventures in Dash and Lily's Book of Dares this is even better!! Lily has had a rough year with her grandfather's condition and has grown distant from Dash. Dash is determined to get Lily into the Christmas spirit. I love all the great holiday references found in here. It runs from gingerbread houses to Christmas trees, but I love how this book captures how the holiday season brings everyone together. Pick it up for a really quick read!
My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories by Stephanie Perkins, Rainbow Rowell, Kelly Link, Matt de la Pena, Jenny Han, David Levithan, Holly Black, Gayle Forman, Myra McEntire, Kiersten White, Ally Carter, and Laini Taylor
These twelve stories are so cute and each one is different from the next. There is something for everyone it is perfect!! I'm sure with all these fabulous authors you will find a great story to put you in the holiday mood.
Happy Holidays thank you so much!!
Much Love,
Channy
