Which holidays do you wish had more books written about them?
It’s amazing that you were able to find so many books that are set during Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Deb! Yeah, it took some digging for sure.
I’m impressed that you found so many. I can’t think of a book set during Thanksgiving that I’ve read.
Thanks. Yeah, it’s not common at all.
This is such a great topic. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book set during Thanksgiving.
Thank you. I’ve only read a couple myself.
Great list. Here is my post-https://paigesofnovels.com/2023/11/28/top-ten-tuesday-fantasy-settings/
Thank you!
A Match Made for Thanksgiving looks fun! I like that you included a cookbook too.
Thank you. 🙂
What an excellent topic! And yay for great Pumpkin!!
Thank you, Greg!
A Zombie Thanksgiving sounds original and fun. I didn’t know there were so many books set on Thanksgiving.
Agreed. And I had the same reaction.
I agree, there do need to be more books written around Thanksgiving…usually they are lumped with Christmas. I think it would be neat to read some books set around St. Patrick’s Day.
Ooh, that would be neat. I’ve only ever read one book set then.
Such a great and unique topic! A Match Made for Thanksgiving is on my tbr!
Nice! And thanks.
Wow! You found a lot of Thanksgiving books. I can only think of a couple of others.
Thanks. 🙂
I love the sound of those food-themed mysteries!
They sound super fun for sure.
Fun list. I just read/reviewed Thanksgiving by Janet Evanovich. Last year it was Thanksgiving by Ellen Cooney. Maybe Diva Runs Out of Thyme next year? Lol
Heh, I hope you do. 🙂
Fun list! I do appreciate how cozy mystery series will often set books around each of the holidays, and not just the usual Christmas or Halloween books. My favorites are the books set during a holiday that I don’t know much about. It’s neat to get to experience other cultures that way.

Yes, they’re good at that!
And I totally agree with you there.
I can safely say I’ve never read a book about Thanksgiving, so I’m impressed you could find so many!
Thank you. 🙂
Wow! I am shocked that you were able to fill out the list. Great job!!
Thanks!
Thanksgiving is one of the forgotten holidays. Great job finding so many.

Thank you. 🙂
The Charlie Brown one is the only one I can even think of that I’ve read that has anything to do with Thanksgiving. It is weird that there are so few, isn’t it?
Happy TTT!

Yes, for sure!
You managed to find so many!
🙂
I’ve got to go check out A Zombie Thanksgiving! What a fun list. 😀
I hope you like it.
A Zombie Thanksgiving sounds like a must read for me!
Yay! I want to read it, too.
That’s fun, I wouldn’t have guessed there are so many Thanksgiving books! Thanks for dropping by my list!
You’re welcome. 🙂
Wow, I’m surprised you found that many books that were set during Thanksgiving, and I love that you always go for these unique prompt choices.
Thank you. I appreciate that. 🙂
A great list of books! I have never read a book with Thanksgiving in 😱 .
Have a great week!
I’ve only read a few myself!
What a perfect topic for Thanksgiving week! Love the variety of books. 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
Here in Italy we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving of course, so I suppose we cannot find these books here, but I know well the Charlie Brown one (If I don’t go wrong it is also a lovely animation movie?). I am going to check the vegan recipes book too. I am vegan and it would be great to see some different recipes from the usual! Thank you for your suggestions! Noah
I’ve only lived in countries that celebrated Thanksgiving. It’s interesting how many do not!
And, yes, the Charlie Brown one is an animated film, too. 🙂
It really is silly how few Thanksgiving romance books there are – with the random amount of KU books I download, you think I would have read one at some point. I feel like there would be a huge market for that since most people love Fall!
For sure!
I’m impressed you found 10!
Thanks. 🙂
This is so fun! We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in South Africa, although I’ve attended a few expats’ celebrations in the past.
Thank you. I didn’t know Thanksgiving wasn’t celebrated in South Africa. Interesting!
Southern Fried Murder is a fun title 🤭 I’ve just read my first Jackie Lau the other week and I hope to check out more of her books soon. Will keep this one on my radar. Great list!
Oh, fun! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you like the rest of her books.
I love The Great Pumpkin! One of my favorites.
That’s awesome. 🙂
Interesting setting. You’ve found quite a bit.
Thank you. It was fun finding them.
Belated visit back — sorry, busy week! 😅 An interesting choice of theme — I guess I’d have expected a lot of Thanksgiving books too. Maybe because Thanksgiving isn’t as universal? Like, Christmas is quite similar between the UK and the US, and similar enough across a lot of Europe… but Thanksgiving is just USian. Hmm!
No worries there! This is a busy time of year.
We have Thanksgiving here in Canada, too, but a lot of countries don’t have it. I find that super interesting. 🙂
You’re right, a Thanksgiving setting is much less common. I did just read Penelope in Retrograde which is set over Thanksgiving. Lots of family drama. 🙂
Ooh, cool!
All new books for me, except the Charlie Brown one.. :
thanks for visiting me..
My post is here
You’re welcome. 🙂
I wish more books were set at Thanksgiving! It’s my fav holiday!
🙂
