I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. This is the first Friday in June so I'm picking out five books I hope to read this month. My library had a big Christmas in July display the other day when I stopped by to pick up some books which got me thinking about what books I'd like to read if I did a Christmas in July.
1. Winter Solstice by Rosamunde Pilcher - I have been wanting to reread this one for years but haven't gotten to it.
2. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - I have a complicated relationship with Dickens but I adored this when I read it several years ago and would love to reread it.
3. Hercule Poirot's Silent Night by Sophie Hannah - I have enjoyed several of Hannah's Poirot books so a Christmas read could be fun.
4. A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss - Estranged sisters, a knick knack shop, and a will with conditions that must be met all set around Christmas sounds like such a lovely read!
5. Murder Most Royal by S.J. Bennett - Another mystery but this one is not only set during Christmas but Queen Elizabeth II is the main character and royal holiday celebrations are being interrupted.
What Christmas reads would you pick up for a little Christmas in July reading break?
That's a cute theme, Christmas in July. I have The Winter Solstice but have not read it yet. I need to set a reminder to get to it in late Fall.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Winter Solstice! I checked out one Christmas-y book this month: Season's Schemings. It's a very cute hockey romance. :D
ReplyDeleteCOYER is reading Christmas books in July or at least winter holiday books. It's not really a thing to me but it's often popular. I want to read the Sophie Hannah books. Sophia has reviewed them.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
I have read 2 & 3 and loved them. Now I am curious about the others.
ReplyDeleteNice list. I read a Christmas book last year Overboard at Christmas but not because of Christmas in July but because it was the next book in the series for me to read.
ReplyDeleteInteresting list, I tend to read Christmas books whenever, which reminds me I have some cozy mystery ones to catch up on.
