While not all readers are introverts, a great deal of us would rather not deal with the craziness of Thanksgiving, we’d rather take the gratitude and food and make a run for it.
Here are three books to read this [brief] Thanksgiving break to get your mind off of crazy relatives and on to amazing reads:
- The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
-
Getting minds off your own zany relatives takes its form in learning of somebody else’s for a change. Sweeney writes a tale of four siblings returning for the holidays with some BIG problems.
- The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler
-
This Pulitzer prize finalist from 1985 brings smiles to faces with a kooky love story between a dog trainer and a travel writer who just so happens to hate travel.
- Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot
-
To bring some awareness to a time of year that has quite the history, I have included an indigenous memoir on this list. Mailhot brings to life her story of intergenerational trauma, mental illness, and more for a beautiful memoir to inspire you this Thanksgiving.
