Black Friday Book Sale

Like most other bookworms, great books make their way onto my "things I'm thankful for" list every year. It's hard to choose favorites, but I went ahead and picked five books I read in 2016 (but most of them are re-reads) and am thankful for.

1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins  ~  It made me extremely thankful that I do not have to go through what the characters do.  It's a very good book to read on Thanksgiving day!
2. These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer  ~  Because it is an excellent portrayal of how people can change.
3. The Wheat Princess by Jean Webster  ~  Mostly the same reason as These Old Shades.  And something else that I can't quite put into words.  (Plus it's set in Italy so.... :))
4. Chip, of the Flying U by B.M. Bower  ~  Because it can always make me laugh when I am feeling down.
5. Dear Enemy by Jean Webster  ~  The same reason as Chip, of the Flying U.  Also because it is another very good portrayal of how people can change..

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to another great year of reading!
