TEN OF THE FESTIVE CHRISTMAS BOOKS I OWN AND SHOULD READ
Oftentimes we look at the Christmas books that release in each year or at other Christmas topics, but I cannot remember if I’ve shared the festive Christmas books I own. It’s December now so talking reads that are Christmas inspired seems appropriate.
LIST | FIVE MORE MAGICAL ROMANCE MOMENTS FROM CHRISTMAS MOVIES
TEN OF THE FESTIVE CHRISTMAS BOOKS I OWN AND SHOULD READ. #CHRISTMASREADS #CHRISTMASREADING #READING #BOOKS #READGOODBOOKS #TOPTEN #BOOKLIST #TOPTENTUESDAY Share on XPursuing my bookshelves, I did find ten books that fit our list. Plus, I do love the idea of a good Christmas read during this time of year. I rarely read them and yet the idea of picking a few up to enjoy this time of year is a happy thought indeed. Here’s hoping one of these years the last books I add to my “read” list is Christmas reading. In the meantime, let’s see what we’ll find.
CHRISTMAS BOOKS I OWN
SO, THIS IS CHRISTMAS, TRACY ANDREEN
This one just looks and sounds darling. Look at that cover. Additionally, there’s a sequel as a follow-up to this love story. Goodreads
CAROLS AND CHAOS, CINDY ANSTEY
Historical young adult romance isn’t something I see much of but Cindy is a popular author many enjoy. Goodreads
BLAME IT ON THE MISTLETOE, BETH GARROD
Do we need to say more about this beyond the cute title!? I mean I am sure the story inside matches and is equally adorable. Just sad to report I haven’t read this. Like any of these. Goodreads
JUST LIKE MAGIC, SARAH HOGLE
So many adore Sarah’s debut novel (I have a like-dislike relationship with the book) and I want to give another of her novel’s a chance. Picked up her Christmas release hoping it’s charming! Goodreads
THE HOLIDAY SWAP + ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, MAGGIE KNOX
Maggie’s books sound fabulous. I’m mostly curious about her last year release The Holiday Swap that seems to have reflections of The Holiday. Goodreads
LOVE FINDS YOU IN NORTH POLE, ALASKA, LOREE LOUGH
This is one of my unhaul titles that I have sitting in a box. Cannot remember if I ever read it or not but it sounds perfectly cute. Goodreads
EIGHT PERFECT HOURS, LIA LOUIS
Lia’s debut novel took the book world by storm so I’m curious to read some of her works. Someday. Also I’m not sure why I put this down as a Christmas novel since the date says this takes place in March? Goodreads
MISTLETOE AND MR. RIGHT, SARAH MORGENTHALER
Despite the best intentions, I haven’t read anything by Sarah. Her books seem and look dang fun so I’m glad she has a Christmas novel, too. Goodreads
THE CHRISTMAS CLASH, SUZANNE PARK
Suzanne wrote a book a couple years ago that I read and did enjoy. Hoping a Christmas release by her is fun, too. Goodreads
THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS, BELL RENSHAW
Bell writes the most darling and charming novels. Their small town settings with lovely romances. Goodreads
Thank you all for being here! Appreciate this very much. I hope to visit your spaces soon but until then, just want to always say my thanks that you take time to visit here.
Which of these do you own? Which have you read? What type of festive reading do you do or is reading Christmas books not your thing? Let’s chat it all up in the comment section.
Thank you for being here; please come back soon.
Linking up with That Artsy Girl December 6: Freebie
You must really love Christmas books if you have ten you haven’t read yet. Go Go. Go. There is still time before Christmas. Good luck!
My TTT Freebie list
Honestly… I have more than that, Anne. ;) These are just the ten I pulled to feature. Thanks for visiting!!
Hope you get to read one of them this season.
Thanks, Sarita. I hope so too. :)
I loooove your graphics! They look so amazing. You must put so much work into that! I’m not much of a romance reader but I would love to try out a cozy seasonal read this holiday season. Which one do you recommend most from what you have read?
Hi, Nikki – and thanks! I appreciate those kind words. :) I haven’t read many from this list, but if you like YA, I did enjoy What Light, It Happens at Christmas, 10 Blind Dates. For adult, Courtney Walsh writes sweet novels, there’s also Jenny Bayliss and if you like small hometown settings, from this list, Bell Renshaw writes charming romance stories. :) Appreciate you stopping by!
I’ve read both Maggie Knox books and enjoyed each one. But I have to say The Holiday Swap is the better of the two.

That’s my feeling just from reading the synopis’, Pam. But then this could be because I like the film “The Holiday.” :) Thanks so much for visiting!
May you enjoy all of them!
Thank you! :)
I love picking Christmas books. These look cute. I hope you get round to reading them!
Have a great week!

Thank you, Emily. I hope so too. :)
I have Mistletoe and Mr. Right on my Christmas TBR this year, too! I hope we both enjoy it.

I hope so too! I’ve had that one for a while but haven’t read it, so hopefully it turns out to be a solid read. :)
As a twin, The Holiday Swap was a really fun read for me!
How fun! I love to hear that you enjoyed The Holiday Swap and had a personal connection to it. :) That’s always fun.
The Maggie Knox books do sound like a lot of fun! Hope you’ll enjoy all of these!
They do to me as well. Especially The Holiday Swap which I think it a kind of play on the Christmas film “The Holiday.” :) Thanks for visiting, Lindsey.
LOL, I totally relate to this! I do hope you start enjoying reading again soon!!
I hope so too, Cindy. And thanks. :)
These all look like a lot of fun! I have some Christmas books, but not very many. I think I need to fix that! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
A good Christmas read is not to be underrated. :) Thanks so much for visiting.
While I love Christmas movies and music, I have a hard time with Christmas stories in books. I don’t know why.
This is me with historical/period dramas. I love to WATCH period drama from British companies, but don’t really enjoy historical fiction. :) Thanks so much for visiting, Kelli. Appreciate this.
I don’t usually read much romance, but I must say that I could maybe try one for the holiday season – there have been SO many on the blogs over the last couple weeks, I feel like I’m missing out! Maybe it’s time to broaden my horizons.

I just enjoy them for the sweet stories they (usually) are. :)
I’ve not really read many Christmassy books because so many are heavy on the romance and I just don’t really like books where romance is the main plot! I’ve seen a couple of Christmassy murder mysteries this year though that looked fun, so maybe I’ll keep those in mind for next Christmas (or be a rebel and read them at another time of year!).
There was one going around on Instagram a while back that someone said isn’t a primary romance but the title escapes me. Either way, I hear you on not liking to read a genre we don’t consider a favorite. There’s too many books that are good for us to read so why waste time on those we won’t care for? :) Thanks for visiting, Jo!
