  1. Recommended Reads for Christmas

  2. Celebrity Recommendations • Angelina Jolie, Vlad the Impaler, In Search of the Real Dracula by M.J. Trow: Before her humanitarian and baby-making days, Jolie was known as the dark and edgy rebel of Hollywood, and this book on the life of the man who just might have been the basis for Dracula is the perfect pick. • Natalie Portman, The Diary of Anne Frankby Anne Frank: This choice makes sense as Natalie starred in the play of the same name, detailing the life of the young girl living, loving and growing as she hid from the Nazis. • Catherine Zeta-Jones,The Great Gatsbyby F. Scott Fitzgerald: Check out this Fitzgerald classic to get a take on the lives of the wealthy during the Jazz Age. • Nicole Kidman, The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis: While Kidman starred in the much more anti-religious series beginning with The Golden Compass, her favourites are these classic children’s books.

  3. Kate Winslet, Therese Raquinby Emile Zola: This more unusual pick from award-winning actress Winslet is about love and murder with a ghost story twist. • Mira Sorvino, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking: Check out this book on the history of the formation of the universe with an endorsement from this actress. • Courtney Cox-Arquette, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiller by E. L. Konigsburg: Who hasn’t wanted to spend the night in a museum before? In this children’s classic readers get to follow a couple of siblings as they unravel a museum mystery. • Rue McClanahan, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: Pick up this famous book about the South recommended by Golden Girls star McClanahan. • Brooke Shields, The Hours by Michael Cunningham: Inspiring a movie of the same name, this book follows the lives of several very different women, each fighting their own battles. • Kathy Bates, Beyond the Paw Paw Trees: The Story of Anna Lavinia by Palmer Brown: You might have a hard time finding this classic children’s book, but if you can, you’re sure to find inspiration in the adventures and imaginings of the young girl it centres around.
