Our holidays are particularly chaotic this year as we continue to unpack our moving boxes, but I still try to find a little time to relax with a good book when I can. Currently I am reading two short story anthologies as I find it easier to quickly read one story at a time whenever I can fit in a short reading break. I am really enjoying The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories ($14.99 on Amazon) edited by Martin Edwards, which is one of his British Library Crime Classics featuring holiday-themed short stories written during the Golden Age of detective fiction. If you are a fan of short mystery fiction, check out the other Martin Edwards anthologies here.
The other anthology I will be reading for the holidays this year is The Penguin Book of Christmas Stories: From Hans Christian Andersen to Angela Carter ($13.56 on Amazon), which is one of the Penguin Classics Hardcover books. All of the stories have a Christmas theme, but the genres range from fairy tales to ghost stories, so this should be a fascinating read. I intend to start this one on Christmas day, which I plan to spend quietly, doing as little work as possible and only engaging in cozy and enjoyable activities. I hope your holiday plans include only fun activities as well!
