...to get in some leisure reading! Here's what we'll be reading during our lazy vacation days and holiday travel.

Katie: I have long flights to California and back. My preferred plane reading is adult mystery and horror, so I'm hoping to pick up Tana French's Broken Harbor (the fourth book in her Dublin Murder Squad series) in the airport bookstore. And my dad — who, like me, is a Miyazaki fan — lent me Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation.

Shoshana: I will be rereading some of the All-of-a-Kind Family books by Sydney Taylor because life is terribly hard and I find myself forced, for work-related reasons, to revisit the first chapter books I ever loved.

Kitty: The book I’ve been carrying around in my backpack for months (and which I’ve started 3 or 4 times): The Secrets of Happy Families by Bruce Feiler (I should probably get cracking on that with school out until January 5). Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson, which Elizabeth Law recommended on Facebook.

Siân: I will be rereading Saga by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan, Volumes 1 through 3, over the holiday in preparation for Volume 4’s release. So excited.

Elissa: I'm reading Alice Hoffman's The Museum of Extraordinary Things. And finally going to get to my holiday treat, As You Wish by Cary Elwes.

Martha: My reading plan is to start the Dublin Murder Squad series. Also, if I’m really lucky, Jane Smiley’s Some Luck.

Lolly: Normally everyone in my family gives each other books for Christmas and our vacation time together is spent reading those books. But I’m trying to stop acquiring new books and use the library more, so I have requested instead descriptions of whatever books they were considering buying me. Since I will be far away from my library that week, I will probably end up reading books given to other people in my family.

Roger: Ninjas, Eric Van Lustbader's series from the 80s. And so my testosterone doesn't go completely out of control, I'm listening to Anya Seton's historical romance Katherine.
