The holiday season is upon us and that can mean a lot of extra time for reading! Thankfully, I am a person who is able to read as a passenger in the car because I hate driving. Whether you are flying, driving, or relaxing at home I hope you find the perfect book(s) to keep you entertained. Below are my four book reviews for this month.

Below are the books I reviewed for October including a simple, cute romance perfect to read around Halloween.

Below you will find some of our favorite children’s picture books about fall. Celebrate the changing of the seasons and what autumn brings.

This past year my daughters (ages four and two) have started to love chapter books being read to them. Before bed each night my kids each get to pick out two books to read and inevitably one of the girls always picks a chapter book. Depending on the length of the chapters we read one or two chapters a night and then we put a bookmark in to hold our place.
