Books to Read This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving. The last few breaths of autumn before the first snows of winter. A renewal of thankfulness for the greatest gift of all.

Here's a few of my Thanksgiving season favorites:

Molly's Pilgrim
We still read this to each other on Thanksgiving. A touching reminder of where we came from and what we should work towards for our children.













An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving
I love Louisa May Alcott's world. There's nothing else that has the ability to take me back to times long ago with authenticity and tenderness. The movie adaption is also a family must-watch for Thanksgiving Night.













Blood on the River: Jamestown 1607
Not really about Thanksgiving and not really about the Pilgrims. So why am I listing it? It's one of the best books I've read about what the New World was like, from the view point of a character based an actual boy who was part of Jamestown. 



One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
There's no better book to inspire thankfulness than the beauty of truth Ann Voskamp captures.
