Between the Chapters Book Club discussion

Hi readers!

The holiday season is fast approaching, and the desire to stay inside and read is strong. Is there a book you always read around the holidays or this time of year? I love reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen around this time! - Admin SL

A few favorites!
A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg
The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog by Dave Barry
A Christmas Carol Audiobook narrated by Tim Curry
A Dog Named Christmas by Greg Kincaid
The Christmas Pearl by Dorothea Benton Frank

I guess I have a different perspective. I very rarely re-read a book. There are so many great books out there that I want to read that I haven't gotten to yet.

I agree Pam - I can't keep up with new books on the market, let alone read the ones I missed as they were published. No time for rereading.

I completely agree! I will occasionally reread the ending of a book if I couldn't remember exactly how it ended, but otherwise, there are so many new books on my "To Be Read" list that I feel like a kid in a candy store. And unfortunately, I'm one of the "one-at-a-time" readers - I get too distracted or confused if I try to juggle more than one book at a time.

I've re-read Flowers For Algernon, just because I needed to read it as an adult rather than a high school requirement. I enjoyed it much more now. Insofar as reading a holiday book, I would probably re-read A Dog's Perfect Christmas by W. Bruce Cameron. A short read but enough to warm your heart. Luckily, I can read multiple books at a time so a re-read won't detract me from my existing TBR

The past few years, I have been reading a Christmas book by Debbie Macomber. One year was The Twelve Days of Christmas, the next was Merry and Bright, and last year was Alaskan Holiday. This year will be Jingle All The Way.
