Happy Thanksgiving to all my bookish friends! Today is Thanksgiving and I've got lots to be thankful for. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends.
If you're into seasonal reading, I've curated a few fun reads with plots that occur during the Thanksgiving holiday! Most of these are somewhat short (around 300 pages) so you can read them while waiting on dinner! They are in no particular order.
If there's a Thanksgiving themed book that you love, please share it with me by leaving a comment. Enjoy your Turkey Day!
Happy Reading,
~Tamara

Meet Dani Greene—a fourth-generation maple syrup maker dealing with a first-class troublemaker…
The annual pre-Thanksgiving pancake-eating contest is a big event in Sugar Grove, New Hampshire. It’s sponsored by the Sap Bucket Brigade, aka the firefighters auxiliary, and the Greene family farm provides the syrup. But when obnoxious outsider Alanza Speedwell flops face first into a stack of flapjacks during the contest, Greener Pastures’ syrup falls under suspicion.
Dani knows the police—including her ex-boyfriend—are barking up the wrong tree, and she’s determined to pull her loved ones out of a very sticky situation. The odds may be stacked against her, but she’s got to tap the real killer before some poor sap in her own family ends up trading the sugar house for the Big House…
