BookLoons Recommended Reads 2015
by Hilary Williamson


Though I've been dreaming of a White Christmas, and playing the song on my harp all month, global warming and El Nino have conspired against us - there's no sign of snow in the forest surrounding our home and our lake remains unfrozen. The sky is bleak, but the holidays jingle joyfully towards us. Fruit cakes are drizzled, wreaths hung, the tree decorated, and gifts are piling up, ready to wrap.

Speaking of which, in my home we always give and receive books during the holidays. If you also have voracious readers on your list, look over our recommendations of the best of BookLoons 2015 reading below (limited to 3 per genre).
