My Christmas To-Read List

The books I want to read this year during Christmas break.

My Christmas To-Read List

So, it's finally December, which means that Christmas is just around the corner. That also means, to us book nerds, that we can read a whole bunch of books while sitting in front of the fire and drinking hot chocolate. It's my favorite time of year to read and I'm planning on reading quite a few books during my two-to-three week break! So I have come up with a list of books that I plan on reading during break.

1. Let It Snow

This book by authors, John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle, contains three shorter stories that all connect in different ways. I've read this book before, but I think it's such a cute book that is just begging to be reread. If you want to read the synopsis, you can click here.

2. Home for the Holidays

This book by Debbie Macomber, contains two stories in one. Unlike the first book on this list, the stories do not connect, but they are definitely two stories worth reading over the holidays. You can read the synopsis here.

3. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

I have not actually read this book, or any other as a matter of fact, by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. It looks like a really cute story set during the holidays and I'm anxious to pick it up this holiday season. For a synopsis, you know where to look.

4. What Light

This book, by Jay Asher, just came out this year and I have been wanting to read it, but I'm a little skeptical because I didn't really enjoy the other book I read by him, titled Thirteen Reasons Why. But, I'm going to try and go in with a clean slate and maybe this will be his redemption book (well, in my eyes at least). Synopsis is here.

5. Until Midnight

This Christmastime novella actually takes place after the first book of Melissa Landers' series, Alienated. This is a free ebook that you can get, but I highly recommend reading the first book before reading this one. I really enjoy this ebook and would love to reread it this year. Whether or not I read the first book again, is still up in the air. Because I don't want to give anything away for those who don't want spoilers, here is the synopsis for the first book of the series, Alienated.


If you have any suggestions on books to read this holiday season, feel free to comment them down below. I would love to also discuss any of the above books with you guys as well.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

From sea to shining sea, the United States was uniquely positioned for an incredible Aurora Borealis display on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, going into Friday, Oct. 11.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
