As we move into the Thanksgiving Holiday break, and this blog is off until Monday, I thought I would share this fun list from Book Riot:
Pass the cranberry sauce! We’re having mashed potatoes! Hold that thought — before the big Thanksgiving meal/weekend, you’ll need a proper reading list to go with such a banquet. This is not your ordinary reading list. Think of it as a menu for reading.
If you’ve ever cooked all or some of a big holiday meal, you know that there is a decent amount of waiting time involved. A standard thanksgiving turkey takes 4-5 hours to cook, more if you forget to defrost the turkey on time.
How to use this menu: while your main course is roasting on the oven, help yourself to some nibbles, appetizers, and drinks. Ahem, flash fiction, short stories, and refreshing nonfiction. For the main course, we’re having a selection of richly detailed 400+ page novels, with sequels to accompany. Then, for dessert, help yourself to a sweet romance or two. Later in the evening, or tomorrow, there’s an assortment of anthologies to satisfy your cravings for a bit of everything. Line up your stacks or load up your ereader and phone with your selections and turn the holiday weekend into a reading challenge.
No matter how you’re spending the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, finding time to relax and read is always a good idea.

While I realize it is too late for you to use this list and its menu categories for Thanksgiving 2022, keep this idea in your back pocket for next year, or for many feast based event. It is a fun and interactive idea. It shows people you are thinking outside the box and truly trying to find them a great read. You are not simply giving them books set during the holiday. And it also showcases all of the different types of books you have from a perspective that is not genre based.
