My absolute favorite book that takes place during a holiday is Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, which starts while the girls are getting ready for Christmas without their father. Thanks for reminding me of one of my childhood favorites!
"A Christmas Carol" is probably my favorite, but "Pumpkinheads" by Rainbow Rowell gives me ALL the fall vibes for that whole September-November stretch of time (and the holidays that come with it). :)
I really enjoyed The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer!
This was cute.
Swamplandia! One of my favorites. Karen Russell is such a good writer.
As a child of south Florida, this book sounds incredible. Adding it to my list.
Enjoy!

My favorite holiday novel is the an Easter one, The Master and Margarita which is great to read any time of year but extra fun at Easter
Excellent choice.

I enjoyed 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson, which takes place over the summer holidays!
The black jersey is an outstanding and gripping novel. As soon as I read Tour de France I was going to comment on this book.
Thank you for the translation. (I read the original in Spanish)
I love "My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories" - like a delicious sampler platter of holiday stories with different themes and styles.
Hi Becca! Congrats — you won. Can you please email your address to whattoreadif@substack.com? Thanks!
This looks really fun!
Since I'm really into the 3 Pines series at the moment I'll recommend A Fatal Grace (Christmas) and The Cruelest Month (Easter)
I have been WAITING for someone to mention these books. Love, love, love Louise Penny.
