Give Thanks for Books!

So, another election cycle is over and the nation can now turn its attention to what really matters – food! Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and if you’re like us, you can already smell the turkey and pumpkin pie. In case you aren’t ready just yet, stop by and pick up a cookbook to help you plan for the big day.

But don’t neglect yourself. Get away from the relatives and the shopping (or take advantage of your downtime) with one of these holiday-themed items. Don’t stop at just one — it’s okay to have seconds! Have a Great Thanksgiving!
