The Books I'm Thankful For (so far) in 2020

It is Thanksgiving Day (the USA version of it at least) today! The tradition on my blog is to post a list of ALL the books I've read thus far this year that I've given my highest ratings to (5 out of 5 stars) today, which means I'm VERY Thankful for finding/reading them!

HOWEVER -- and it is a BIG HOWEVER -- this year has been hard for everyone. Myself included when it comes to promoting the books I have been reviewing. As if you look at my 2017 & 2018 Thankful Book Lists you'll see within my top write-up (like this one) that I say something along the lines of "because of life I have reviews but have yet to fully post them yet." This year is a LITTLE different because though ... that is still true ... my reviews ARE backlogged ... I had a catastrophe in March 2020 where I LOST ALL OF MY PREVIOUS REVIEWS. Yeah. If you want to hear ALL about it click here. BUT for 2020 specifically I was trying gather some "reading stats" for you, so out of those 19 books I know that 5 that I have no reviews for need to be on this list because I had rated them 5 out of 5 stars!

Yes this list is odd BUT other than the top three books within this list the others DO have reviews for them -- FULL REVIEWS COMING SOON -- so CHECK IT OUT! I DO RECOMMEND ALL OF THESE NOVELS!!

➡️ Also for the THIRD year running I have a We Are Thankful For Books collab video (at the bottom of this post) for you. In the video you'll see 5 Youtubers (including myself) talk about the books they are thankful for reading this year. Enjoy! 📚🥧

🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!! 🦃

Every Thanksgiving--since 2011--I put out my Books I'm Thankful For (so far) Book List and in conjunction with this year's book list I asked some of my fellow youtubers if they'd like to join me in this collab video to include what novel(s)/novella(s) they are thankful for reading in 2020. Watch to get some fun book recommendations!

You're Gonna Hear Us ROAR! Happy #Thanksgiving! | With Autumn & Holiday #BookRecommendations [Featuring @kathytrithardt, @ingridiortiz, @booktubegoddess & @writerahart]

So ... this "holiday" video is a little different because .... I am now aware (more so than ever before) about how Thanksgiving is not really a wonderful holiday to celebrate. HOWEVER, if you are celebrating it ONLY for family traditions and being truly thankful for what you have in life than ... lets celebrate! Therefore, most of the JibJab clips are music videos with our faces attached and while the video's cover has three tiny pilgram hats that is all the pilgrams you will be seeing. Basically what I am saying is WATCH THE VIDEO because it is FOR EVERYONE even those who dislike this American holiday. Watch. Enjoy! Comment your thoughts.
Also ... just to be clear ... though I DO love the song "I am dancing too" I do want it to be known that it was my kids that chose that song because my 9 yr old & almost 7 yr old thought it was hilarious. 😁

Christmas Lights in Staten Island, New York | Throwback Thursday #Videos

In December 2015 my family and I lived in Staten Island, New York. One thing I LOVED about living there is how much everyone decorated their homes for the holidays ... even for Halloween. So here is a short video of a few of my relatives and I driving, sometimes then walking some others, around Staten Island, New York with videos and photos of the Christmas Decor & Christmas Lights that we had seen. 🎄 💡 Enjoy!

What did your Halloween being like for this 2020 Quarantine-o-ween?
Was it sorta the same as you do every year?
Were you more cautious and staying in? Let me know in the comments!

SO! For my family ... we stayed in. Yet I still wanted to "celebrate" .... therefore I have a Halloween video for you that features myself -- because HI it's my social stuff -- and EIGHT other lovely, wonderful, entertaining Booktubers! We are having fun with JibJab videos and recommending various Halloween books! In addition, at the bottom of this post you can see some of what my kids did to celebrate too. Enjoy!

DIY Kids Crafts / Gift Idea from Kids | From My Kids to You #DIYcrafts

Are you ready for your children to give out gifts for your relatives?

Truly ... every year I always feel like I am never ready. But in this post I have one gift idea for your children to give out to a relative, friend, or teacher!

It is garden pots!

I'll admit it isn't an original idea as I got it from my cousin around 2015 when my daughter was getting into school and needing to find a creative yet cheap idea for teachers gifts. And this is what my cousin (who has four kids) said she had all of her kids do every year for their teachers as "goodbye" gifts. Yet this is my take on it ...

Day 10 - Jess' Christmas Card to YOU! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 10
Do you like receiving Christmas/Holiday cards? When I was younger I religiously (without actually being religious about it) would send out tons of holiday and Christmas cards to just about everyone I knew yet over the years -- because of trying to be money conscious -- I'm lucky to get out just to those in my immediate family. Therefore, I have created a video holiday card for YOU!! I hope you like it! 🤩

Do you like my Santa Candy Cane Holder? 😊 Also I bought these KoolAid Candy Canes at the DollarTree on December 8th!	8 Stripy and minty and yummy to lick---the candy cane's everyone's holiday pick.

9 When you roll 'em and stack 'em as high as you can, the tiniest snowballs make one big snowman!	As you saw in my Day 5 - blogmas update we have no snow ... so I'm leaving you with Olaf! Have you seen Frozen 2 yet? We saw it when it released in theaters and LOVED it!

Thanks for joining the fun! Happy Blogmas/Vlogmas Everyone!
