Books to Read this Christmas Break!
What's better than curling up into a ball in your blanket at the dawn of morning with a good Christmas novel to read? (Uh, Christmas Netflix'ing? If so, don't worry; Journalism's gotchu covered). If this is you, you can check out our top six Christmas-themed novels you can read during the break:
Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson, Lauren Myracle
Let It Snow is a novel with three different stories - written by three different authors, naturally - that come together to weave an end Christmas story. It heavily revolves around friendship, adventure, pancakes, and of course, romance -- just all everything we need on a good Christmas night to swoon over.
My True Love Gave To Me by Stephanie Perkins, Holly Black, Ally Carter, Matt de la Pena, Gayle Forman, Jenny Han, David Levithan, Kelly Link, Myra McEntire, Rainbow Rowell, Laini Taylor, Kiersten White
From the creators of the Classic Young Adults Fics like Anna and The French Kiss, If I Stay, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, Fangirl, and much, much more New York Time Bestselling novels and writers, My True Love Gave To Me are 12 individual Christmas stories that brings out cute but heartwarming stories with 12 different quirky and unique characters.
Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
Christmas is possibly the most joyful time of the year but it's also, without a doubt, the most stressful time as well. Skipping Christmas is about a couple that decides to skip Christmas last minute (because, you know, why send meaningless gifts to people you never talk to and spend millions on just decorating your house that you'll take off in less than a month!) and go on a cruise when they find out that their daughter will be spending it away from them for the first time. But skipping Christmas in American culture? Oh, how shameful!
What Light by Jay Asher
Nothing better than reading a dramatic and exciting book brought from the birth giver of 13 Reasons Why. What Light is about a girl who lives a double life -- Oregon during the year, California during Christmas -- and the change of her life when she meets a boy.
How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss
Yes, yes. It's a children's book, but it's Christmas - an exciting time of the year for everyone, regardless of age - and this Dr. Seuss favorite is a classic.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Nothing better than Christmas in the 1800s, right? A Christmas Carol is about an elderly man named Scrooge that gets an unexpected visit from a ghost, and learning that Christmas isn't so bad afterall. (You can also check out The Man Who Invented Christmas if you prefer watching than reading!)
