I used to binge Chicken Soup for the Soul back in my elementary school years. It was a collection of books that our school library had way too many of! For some reason, the teachers always recommended reading them... So, of course, I read any and all that I could find because our library was SUPER limited. I probably read every single book there three times through during my years.

It became no surprise as an adult that I would then feel like picking up a Chicken Soup for the Soul book and jump into the nostalgia. This Christmas read was a fantastic, sweet read that had many stories of hope, family and love. It was heart warming and a nice, cozy read. They are all very short stories, but totally worth it. It's the kind of book you can pick up and binge, or slowly read overtime. I highly recommend it if you want a little joy and hope in your holiday season reads.

Another wonderful Chicken Soup for the Soul book. I have enjoyed every version I've read of these themed books so far, mainly because they are a compilation of true stories told by fellow humans in their own words. There is something comforting about learning and relating to the experiences of others. It bolsters my confidence to know I am not alone in my struggles, to read how others all around the globe share similar feelings, similar experiences, similar doubts, fears, hopes, and joys. This book was extra special for the topics it covered: miracles and premonitions. Who knew so many of us receive and respond to promptings and dreams so specific to our personal needs? The stories in this book are inspiring and truly amazing! I mouthed the word "Wow!" numerous times.… (altro)
