It surprised me to learn about the presence of women in the Vietnam War. And frankly, that I would find it so interesting.

By Kristin Hannah,

Why should I read it?

27 authors picked The Women as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

The missing. The forgotten. The brave… The women.

The Twelve Dogs of Christmas

By Emma Kragen,

Book cover of The Twelve Dogs of Christmas

What is my book about?

Get ready for fun and lots of laughter. This delightful take on the traditional song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is the funniest, furriest, freshest way to laugh through the holidays. Each day in the song reflects a different breed of dog and contains original photography of snoring sheepdogs, chomping Chihuahuas, and even dancing Dalmatians.
