Recs if you like A Christmas Memory...

Alternative Xmas reading — think downbeat stories, family dysfunction, holiday loneliness, seasonal depression, black comedy. There's a gift from me to you under the tree in the comments.

Other winter-holiday books welcome as long as they're cranky!

Is your cynicism chronic? Check out my list Bleakness Is My Weakness...

Something for everyone! Many are perfect to read aloud, & they make great gifts, too. 🎁 This list is ordered as follows: Christmas Books for Grown-Ups, Christmas Stories for All Ages, & lastly, Christmas for the Littlest Ones.
