My Christmas To-Read List

The books I want to read this year during Christmas break.

My Christmas To-Read List

So, it's finally December, which means that Christmas is just around the corner. That also means, to us book nerds, that we can read a whole bunch of books while sitting in front of the fire and drinking hot chocolate. It's my favorite time of year to read and I'm planning on reading quite a few books during my two-to-three week break! So I have come up with a list of books that I plan on reading during break.

1. Let It Snow

This book by authors, John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, contains three shorter stories that all connect in different ways. I've read this book before, but I think it's such a cute book that is just begging to be reread. If you want to read the synopsis, you can click here.

2. Home for the Holidays

This book by Debbie Macomber, contains two stories in one. Unlike the first book on this list, the stories do not connect, but they are definitely two stories worth reading over the holidays. You can read the synopsis here.

3. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

I have not actually read this book, or any other as a matter of fact, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. It looks like a really cute story set during the holidays and I'm anxious to pick it up this holiday season. For a synopsis, you know where to look.

4. What Light

This book, by Jay Asher, just came out this year and I have been wanting to read it, but I'm a little skeptical because I didn't really enjoy the other book I read by him, titled Thirteen Reasons Why. But, I'm going to try and go in with a clean slate and maybe this will be his redemption book (well, in my eyes at least). Synopsis is here.

5. Until Midnight

This Christmastime novella actually takes place after the first book of Melissa Landers' series, Alienated. This is a free ebook that you can get, but I highly recommend reading the first book before reading this one. I really enjoy this ebook and would love to reread it this year. Whether or not I read the first book again, is still up in the air. Because I don't want to give anything away for those who don't want spoilers, here is the synopsis for the first book of the series, Alienated.


If you have any suggestions on books to read this holiday season, feel free to comment them down below. I would love to also discuss any of the above books with you guys as well.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
