Thanks so much for these ideas and titles Carol. Can you believe I’ve only just this year got into reading Christmas themed books! So now I have more to add to my list, many thanks 🙂
Happy Christmas reading! 📚🎄
I don’t know any of these titles but then I tend to avoid books with Christmas in the title – somehow I think they’ll be schmaltzy.
lol! Sometimes schmaltzy is just right! 😂 For something that’s more historical and classic, try the novella, A Carol for Mrs. Dickens.
I’m a sucker for a Christmas-themed (or set) book. I’m currently reading Flora’s House but have the feeling I know where it’s going so have put it down for just a bit because I don’t want to cry… I know, I know… thanks for linking up with us.
I didn’t cry but it’s a heartfelt story of grief with a lovely, satisfying, and hopeful ending. Well written.
I do enjoy Freya North.
Great list! I’ve seen Grace & Henry’s Holiday Movie Marathon on another bloggers list this week.
I’ve been reading a few Christmas books but not as many as I would have liked this year.
Although Holiday Movie Marathon is entertaining in the moment, I didn’t think it was especially memorable.
These sound good. I love a good seasonal read so I’m going to mark some of these to check out.
I hope you find one to love! 🎄
You read some good Christmas books this year Carol. Believe it or not, there are 5 on this list that I haven’t read. There’s always Christmas in July.
I can’t imagine you missed any! 😂😂😂 #somanybookssolittletime
