This isn't the most Christmas-y years I've ever had and my go-to Hallmark movies aren't exactly readily available with all the traveling we've got going on so I'm reaching for my second go-to - Christmas books. Here are some random Christmas themed books on my TBR.
1. The Nightingale Before Christmas by Donna Andrews - I love this series and I love bird puns and this year's Christmas mystery was fabulous so I need to pick this one up too!
2. An Island Christmas by Nancy Thayer - I have a sneaking suspicion that I need to read a bunch of books in the series before I get to this one (I could be wrong) but I love a beachy Christmas story.
3. All I Want for Christmas by Nora Roberts - I love Nora Roberts but her early books haven't aged all that well. However, I figure it's worth the risk and luckily if it isn't good it will at least be short and hopefully Christmas-y.
4. Angel's Rest by Emily March - I'm not entirely sure if this is Christmas-y but most of this series feels Christmas-y even if it isn't actually taking place during December.
5. Away in a Manger by Rhys Bowen - I really like Bowen but somehow I've never read any book in this series. This one sounds like a good mystery.
6. Christmas in Snowflake Canyon by RaeAnne Thayne - I love Thayne's most recent series but have had mixed results with her earlier books. This one, however, looks gloriously Christmas-y.
7. Snow Way Out by Christine Husom - I'm not sure how Christmas-y this one is but it's about a snow globe shop so it's got to be a little Christmas-y.
8. Home for Christmas by Lily Everett - I completely forgot about this contemporary romance series until I saw this title. I read the first one and enjoyed it and then read the last couple and really enjoyed them so I really need to pick this one up!
9. The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Con Man and the Invention of Christmas in New York by Alex Palmer - I'm not sure how Christmas-y this one will be but it sounds fascinating.
10. Christmas Bells by Jennifer Chiaverini - Historical fiction and Christmas go so well together and I haven't read this author despite wanting to for quite some time.
What Christmas books are on your TBR?

I like the covers of the two books you posted photos. Haven’t read any of those authors yet except Nora Roberts ages ago.
ReplyDeleteI love the Instagram photos!
There's something about these Christmasy covers that I like. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have a list but it got deleted. I finished one Christmas-themed one recently though, an anthology.
ReplyDeleteNice list of Christmas books and I haven't read any of them. Pity Nora's books haven't aged well but as you say a Christmas one is worth a go.
ReplyDeleteI bought CHRISTMAS BELLS last week, but I haven't had a chance to dive into it yet. I haven't read any of the titles on your list. They do sound "gloriously Christmas-y," though. Enjoy!
