2018 Thanksgiving book list.

 

Thanksgiving weekend in the USA is a time for remembering, feasting, watching sports and spending time with family and friends. Most of all, it’s a time for reflecting on what we are thankful for in our life.

One of the most gratifying aspects of my life is that I can fill it with books. Therefore, I compiled a list of my favorite Thanksgiving-themed books for you, as well as a few that I can’t wait to read soon.

So without further ado, I present my 2018  Thanksgiving Book List!

When Megan Murphy discovered a floppy-eared rabbit gnawing on the hem of her skirt, she meant to give its careless owner a piece of her mind. However, Dr. Patrick Hunter was too attractive to stay mad at for long. Soon the two are making Thanksgiving dinner for their families.

Strikingly different since childhood and leading dissimilar lives now, sisters Frances and Cynthia have managed to remain “devoted”—as long as they stay on opposite coasts.

When Frances arranges to host Thanksgiving at her rural New England farmhouse, she envisions a happy family reunion, one that will include the sisters’ long-estranged father. Cynthia, however, doesn’t understand how Frances can ignore the past their father’s presence revives, past that includes suspicions about their mother’s death twenty-five years earlier.

Will Butterfield can’t believe it. His 75–year–old mother, Holly, is drunk and threatening to jump off the roof. Again.

Holly and Fiona, another elderly relative, won’t stop tormenting Will and his wife Elizabeth with their bizarre (though often amusing) antics. Between Will’s worries about his bookstore, The Heart’s Ease, and Elizabeth’s troublesome high school students, dealing with “the crazies” has become just too much.

But then something unexpected happens –– Henry Ward, a neighborhood handyman, meets the two old women. He, his daughter Alison, and grandchildren are drawn into the Butterfields’ lives in surprising ways. Both a comedy and a love story –– a first for Bausch –– Thanksgiving Night is about the real meaning of family, and one particular clan that has many reasons to be thankful.

In this Capote classic, you get A Christmas Memory, One Christmas, and The Thanksgiving Visitor all bundled together for your holiday reading. This masterpiece by the great American writer Truman Capote is suitable for an audience of all ages.

Buddy and his closest friend, his eccentric, elderly cousin, Miss Sook – the memorable characters from Capote’s A Christmas Memory—love preparing their old country house for Thanksgiving. But there’s trouble in the air. Odd Henderson, a scrawny, freckled, red-headed bully makes Buddy the target of his relentless torment. But Miss Sook only counsels patience and understanding, “He can’t help acting ugly; he doesn’t know any different,” she says.

Filled with emotions that are universal to both young readers and adults, this poignant story brings to life what we all should cherish and be thankful for—the gifts of friendship and love.
