The harvest season means not only hot cocoa and mulled apple cider, hay rides, and pumpkin picking-the crop of books reviewed this month are some of the best CF publishers have to offer. Several, like T.D. Jakes's The Memory Quilt and R. William Bennett's The Christmas Gift, offer uplifting stories for the Christmas season. Even those titles without an overt Christmas theme offer plenty of food for thought for holiday readers, as many of the novels are about homecomings in one way or another. Family members travel home; individuals find their way back to God's grace; others learn that home is where the heart is. Nanci Milone Hill (nhill@mvlc.org) is the Head of Readers' Services at the Nevins Memorial Library in Methuen, MA. She has several years experience with collection development and readers' advisory services. She started out in an elementary school library but has spent most of her career in public libraries.

Jakes的《记忆被子》和R.William Bennett的《圣诞节礼物》中的几个提供了圣诞节季的精彩故事。即使是那些没有公开圣诞节主题的标题,也为假日读者提供了很多思考的机会,因为许多小说都是以一种或另一种方式讲述返校归宿。家庭成员回家旅行;个人找到了回到上帝恩典的道路;其他人则知道家是心灵所在。 Nanci Milone Hill(nhill@mvlc.org)是位于马萨诸塞州Methuen的内文斯纪念图书馆的读者服务主管。她在馆藏开发和读者咨询服务方面拥有多年经验。她最初在一家小学图书馆工作,但大部分职业生涯都在公共图书馆度过。
