It’s December and that means it’s time for the final LWD Book Club selection for 2022. December is a busy month so I’ve selected a short story, A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote. This seasonal autobiography sounds like the perfect read and I’m looking forward to it.

A Christmas Memory
by Truman Capote
First published in 1956, this much sought-after autobiographical recollection from Truman Capote (In Cold Blood; Breakfast at Tiffany’s) about his rural Alabama boyhood is a perfect gift for Capote’s fans young and old.
Seven-year-old Buddy inaugurates the Christmas season by crying out to his cousin, Miss Sook Falk: “It’s fruitcake weather!” Thus begins an unforgettable portrait of an odd but enduring friendship and the memories the two friends share of beloved holiday rituals.
A Christmas Memory has been described as “[a] gem of a holiday story” (School Library Journal, starred review), and this warm and delicately illustrated edition is one you’ll want to add to any Christmas or Capote collection.

Sounds like a lovely holiday read.
I’m so behind on my planned reading it’s not even funny. I have managed to make my 2022 reading goal, but only just, and not quite with the books I planned. Also, it’s mostly because I read a couple of short holiday reads to make sure I made it.
I must admit I haven’t read it yet, myself. 😉 It’s on my to-do list before the end of the year.
That’s great that you met your reading goal. I didn’t come close.
