Thanksgiving is upon us—the season for gratitude and overeating in the good old U.S. of A.

So, while you are digesting pumpkin pie and partaking of spiced cider (or perhaps something stronger), why not curl up with a good book and nourish your mind and imagination?

Here are some lists where you can find Thanksgiving-themed stories, from mysteries to children's books to romances and more… 

• Let's start with Murder & Mayhem, because, well, why not? They have a delicious list of seven mysteries to start off our feast. 
• Where would we be without a plethora of offerings from the Cozy Mystery List? Probably starving! 
• Here is Mystery Fanfare with some additional tasty entrees in the mystery genre.
• Moving beyond mysteries, Goodreads will definitely provide you with plenty to chew on. Let's start with their "Listopia list of Listopia lists" for Thanksgiving-themed books. On this Goodreads menu, there are…
• … the Best Children's Thanksgiving Books and… 
• … Thanksgiving romances and… 
• … the more general, palate-cleansing Books to Read Some November and… 
• … the no-nonsense-let's-get-right-down-to-it Thanksgiving Reading List.

If all of the above doesn't satisfy your craving for Thanksgiving reading material or if you have a "don't miss this one" suggestion, send us your offerings in a comment and we shall add it to the potluck table.

Wishing all our U.S. readers a happy Thanksgiving, and wishing everyone a holiday season with many good books to read and the time to read them!
