Thanksgiving Themed Novels and Novellas
This time of year is so busy that I feel like a themed novella is the perfect way to get some reading in. I found a couple that center on Thanksgiving, but please know that I am very aware of the reality surrounding this holiday. I highly recommend looking up what land you are living on and contributing to the Indigenous communities in your area.
I found this 2018 post very helpful to remind me of the ways to decolonize my celebrations and keep the Indigenous communities that suffered at the forefront of my mind throughout the season. Thanksgiving is a tradition but we don’t have to feed into the lies.
I am not trying to be preachy at all, it’s just something I feel is important for myself to balance, especially with having a public platform. I love my family’s traditions when it comes to Thanksgiving so much, so I want to honor the reasons I have them.
Grateful for You by Katana Collins
A steamy, small town novella! Piper’s car skids off the road when she’s on the run (with her perfect dog, Athena) when she is rescued by the town sheriff who happens to be the most eligible bachelor in town.
Stuffed by Jessica Gadziella
A little brother’s best friend trope for the holidays.
Thanksgiving in Connecticut by May McGoldrick
If this is anything like Christmas in Connecticut, it’s probably hilarious and fun.
Fall Twice by Evey Lyon
Small town, second chance romance. I feel like this time of year does these so well!
One Forked Up Thanksgiving by Claire Raye
New Adult with Fake Dating trope! It’s out November 16 so it should be a fun book to read between travel, cooking, and parade commercials!
There Better Be Pie by Jessica Gadziella
Enemies to lovers also seems to fit this time of year…doesn’t it?
Are you a novella person? Sometimes it’s nice to read something you know won’t be a huge commitment but you still get a complete story!
