Books are a mainstay present in our family at Christmastime. This year, likely because I work at Content Bookstore so my shopping for books for gifts was super easy, we ended up with more books for Christmas than other years.

I was delighted to receive four new novels from Owen and the kids, all of which were on my “to read” list:

• Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher
• Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel
• Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
• Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal

The only challenge I’m faced with is this…which book should I start reading first?
