Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, starts this evening at sundown, and continues for eight nights. I’m looking forward to celebrating with my family — we’ll light the menorah, sing songs, play dreidle, eat latkes, and get a little silly. And what better way to prepare for the holiday than by thinking about books?
Here’s a round-up of some of my family’s favorite Hanukkah books — these are mainly children’s books, but really fun to enjoy with all ages.
Hanukkah books for grown-ups seem to be a trend now, especially in romance. Here’s one I’ve read (The Matzah Ball), and a few whose covers made me smile (or, okay, burst out laughing).
Whatever you choose to read and whatever you celebrate, wishing you a holiday season filled with lights, good cheer, great company, and awesome reading!

Thanks for sharing this great list of favs! Three Holidays is a fun read!
I’m probably starting that one next — glad you enjoyed it!
Happy reading!
What a fun collection of books! And so perfect for this time of year. There are several that look like fun…I’m going to go look them up on Goodreads now. 😀
Thank you!
I hate to say it but… I don’t think I’d want to read any of these! Sorry. HOWEVER, if you want an adult, Hanukkah novel with NO romance, and NO fantasy, but with a murder mystery, you could try Chanukah Guilt by Ilene Schneider. It was the first in her Rabbi Aviva Cohen mystery books, and was real fun! She wrote two more – Unleavened Dead and Yom Killer, and she herself is a rabbi! I think she’s working on a fourth novel, as well. Here’s my review of that first one https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/12/07/death-among-the-dreidel-set/
Oh, that sounds like fun! Thanks for the recommendation!
They are! The next one is supposed to be called “Killah Megillah” which will be her Purim murder mystery novel.
Happy Hanukkah.
Thank you!
Pleasure.
I love the titles of some of the adult books, especially Meteors and Menorahs🤣
That one cracked me up! And when I googled “Hanukkah romance for adults”, some of the results got a little wild — I ended up not including some truly amazing options, such as Eight Kinky Nights 🙂
