Book List

I am always looking for good book suggestions. 

You too? 

Last year, for the holidays, I gifted many of my friends and family with books I thought they'd enjoy. This year, with this baby expected to be arriving on or around Christmas Eve, 

I am thinking that a big order of books from Amazon might be just the ticket 

to help me get ready for the holidays extra early. 

(My goal is to be done by Thanksgiving)

Here's a list of books I've read so far this year, with a * next to my favorites 

or a ** next to my particularly favorite favorites.

(I'm not affiliated with Amazon, I just linked to them so 

you could read the synopses, if you're so inclined.)
