A book that has to do with Thanksgiving and/or family.
A book with a brown, orange or yellow cover.
A book that has a "fall"-esq or "winter"-esq cover.

Hey Rachel, I am so sorry! I had to change my book at the last minute because I couldn't get my hands on Life of Pi.. I thought I would get it by the end of the month but it somehow got delayed. I think I will get it next month. I am sorry again..
