I love reading holiday books to my children to help them prepare and get excited. I just started creating this list of children’s Thanksgiving books. The books on this list focus on the holiday featuring traditions and a little history. A few are about giving thanks and having gratitude. A lot of popular Thanksgiving picture books have a character like a turkey or a pilgrim but have nothing else to do with the holiday. I didn’t include those. Over time, this list will continue to grow as I find more books that pass my criteria and we enjoy.

I think this might be the most books I have ever read in a month. Certainly, the most books in a month I have ever given an “Excellent” rating to, so I hope you are able to find something that interests you! In this month’s book reviews you’ll find a few mystery and horror sprinkled in because the month of October calls for it.

September was by far the month in which I read the fewest books, even though it didn’t feel that way to me. I’m definitely getting into fall-themed reading with mysteries and books featuring witches. But as always, I try to review a variety of genres to keep it interesting. I hope you find a book review below that catches your interest.

August was a month of high highs (a five-star book!) and low lows. I read a number of depressing, sad books that weren’t very fun but variety is the spice of life. I’m a person who needs variety and I like to provide variety to my readers as well. You’ll certainly find that in my book reviews below. I hope you find a title that sparks your interest.
