We are acknowledging this month that, like the calendar year, we also go through "seasons" of preferences--particularly when it comes to reading.

There is a title for every literary fan out there: spirited novels, cookbooks and fantastic stories in children's literature are just some of the genres comprising our holiday gift list. Read on to find the perfect book for the reader in your life or, better yet, yourself.
