‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Y’all
“This holiday season we have been blessed not with one by with TWO books by Southern sweetheart of the internet Landon Bryant. Bless Your Heart is a humorous and heartwarming love letter to all things Southern, and is wise, witty, and charming in all the right ways. Equally as charming, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Y’all is a creative retelling of the popular Christmas poem and is filled with all the fun, festive flair and Southern sparkle one can imagine. Two must-reads, whether you’re from the South or just wish you were!”

“I’ve been so eager to gift Running Press’ gorgeous and very of-the-moment cocktail book In Session to friends and family who love craft cocktails but who are imbibing a little less these days or looking for “sessionable” cocktails to keep the party going. The lower-proof recipes are accessible but exciting, the photos are gorgeous, and the occasion-based playlists are such a fun addition. Plus, gifting this book far and wide is a great way to ensure you have tasty drinks at all the holiday parties you’re attending this year 😉”

Filled with epic journeys and incredible heroes, Persian Mythology honors traditional Persian storytelling and brings these ancient sagas to new audiences. Whether you’re a parent looking for a fresh book for your child’s bedtime routine, or a lover of mythology that wants to explore more world histories, it’s the perfect book for all.”

I learned so much about which plants are happiest growing together, which ones make the most vivid dyes, and which are best for protective spells—I can’t wait to see what creations everyone comes up with after reading this incredible, comprehensive guide.”

“My favorite Running Press gift this year is the Dancing Rave Cat! His dance floor lights up (with multi-colors), he bounces and twists to the beat (with a tail swoosh, too!), and has supercool rave glasses because he is a Cool Cat who just wants everyone to have a good time. He was even inspired by my own orange cat, Finn, and I also managed the production of this product and worked with the Running Press team on the design. I hope Rave Cat dances his way into everyone’s hearts—and stockings—this holiday season!”

“As a poetry major, I will be stocking up on copies of The Raven to gift this holiday season. The illustrations by Chloe Bristol remind me so much of Edward Gorey, and I love all the details: the candlelit rooms, the diaphanous spirit of Lenore, and of course, the mysterious raven. And of course, this is such a fun poem to read out loud. I’ll be gifting it to kids and adults alike.”
