Happy Holidays everyone! Is school out yet? Is your family planning on traveling this year, or are you all snuggling up for a relaxing “stay-cation” (a personal favorite holiday tactic of mine)? Whatever your plans, I know that no school and colder weather make for more time spent inside with some good reads --- especially if you plan on receiving books this holiday season (and we hope you are). Have WE got some ideas to keep you bookishly entertained.

Happy Holidays everyone! Are your kids out of school yet? Is your family planning on traveling this year, or are you all snuggling up for a relaxing “stay-cation” (a personal favorite holiday tactic of mine)? Whatever your plans, I know that no school and colder weather can make for a scramble to find indoor activities. How about some good reads? Books make great gifts --- and have WE got some ideas to keep your kids bookishly entertained.

One of our signature features, the Ultimate Reading List, is back! It now includes not only book covers and a description of the book, but also author photos! With more than 400 titles on the list, it was a lengthy process to move this content over to the new site, and we received so many letters from readers who were desperately searching the new Teenreads for this list. We knew it was popular, but after answering dozens of letters, we KNOW it's one powerful list.

The following are lists of books releasing the weeks of December 19th and December 26th that we think will be of interest to Teenreads.com readers.
