Get ready–he'll be in town before you know it. With Christmas practically around the corner, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is ready to unwrap its Santa tracker.  While the organization—a partnership between Canada and the United States —is responsible for overseeing the safety of North American skies by tracking everything flying around the two countries, during December , its priorities become a little more joyous.  According to the NORAD website , the organization has helped families track Santa for over 60 years—and this year is no different.  Starting on Christmas Eve, when Santa's little helpers alert NORAD that he's taken to the skies, families can track his sleigh as he makes deliveries across the globe throughout the night via the NORAD website.

A cookie lover's dream! This National Cookie Day , Subway is unveiling sweet treats inspired by its sandwiches. Some may be wondering what a sub brand is doing offering specialty confections, however, the footlong-sized goodies make sense due to the fact that Subway actually sells more freshly-baked cookies than any other restaurant company in the U.S., according to a press release .

222 Best Books of All Time, With Personal Picks from Authors

Image
Booksellers and authors like George R.R. Martin helped us create this epic list. Why 222 books? We think a list of The 100 Best Books sounds too definitive, too final. Hopefully, offering 222 titles feels like a treasure trove worth diving into and arguing over and enjoying. You’ll find all types of works of fiction—picture books and romances and fantasies and westerns and young adult novels and good ole fiction and mysteries and classics and recent works we believe will be classics in years to come. (Nonfiction will be its own list someday soon.) But they’re still just some of the best books of all time—if we made this list a thousand titles long, we’d still be missing so many. To help us narrow this down to the absolute best books, we reached out to thirty-three acclaimed and best-selling authors. Everyone from Anne Tyler to George R.R. Martin to Karin Slaughter took the time to share their passionate recommendations. Then we called some of our favorite bookstores and asked for th...
