You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.

We’re psyched to kick off this year’s Holiday Author Blog series with Elisabeth Egan, the books editor at Glamour whose debut novel released earlier this year to rave reviews. A WINDOW OPENS is about the real-life stresses of balancing a career with motherhood --- an act that becomes ever more precarious around the holidays. Fortunately, Elisabeth has a few tricks up her sleeve, including buying gifts that are easy to wrap. And what’s easier to wrap --- and relish --- than a great book?
Late November 2015Hi Teenreaders, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that the holiday is over, I know that stores everywhere are telling you to forget about the turkey already and start thinking about end-of-the-year shopping (Cyber Monday, anyone?). I admit that I've already moved into an "OMG, 2015 is almost over!" state of mind, too. For me, though, it's a bit more literary than consumerist; I'm wondering, what were the best books that came out all year?
