Book Lists for Nov. 22-28, 2019

Open thread: What book are you reading right now?

While we recover from overdoing it on turkey and pie, let’s talk about books. I’d love to know what you’re reading these days. Post a comment below and let me know.

After sharing your current read, you can check out the book lists below. There are quite a few, including some holiday hopping book lists. Enjoy!

This roundup of book lists is available to all Bidwell Hollow subscribers. Book list emails will remain free. But the biweekly writer stories will become only for paying subscribers on Feb. 10, 2020. Subscribe before then to make sure you don’t miss out. Your credit card won’t be charged until Feb. 10. Or, keep your current free subscription, and you’ll continue to receive book list emails each Friday.

Nothing humbles me more than when someone decides to pay for my work. Thanks to all who’ve already subscribed to Bidwell Hollow. I’m thrilled to make that commitment worth your while. (And even if you haven’t, you’re still great.)

REMINDER: You can still subscribe here for either $5 a month or $50 a year:
