A holiday season is never complete for readers without having read at least 5-10 books in the warm and cozy comfort of their house or during their travels from place to place. There’s no set list of books that one should read during the holiday season, but if you can pick books that move you to tears, make you laugh, drive you crazy, and make you wonder, it’s a success.
