CHRISTMAS FICTION COMING TO SHELVES IN 2024
Christmas fiction 2024 is coming to our store shelves (again) as the end of (another) year approaches. Like every year, saltiness is my normal mode as the idea of curating Christmas content is annoying. However when it involves books it’s less about annoyance and more “let’s talk books.” While this list is probably late (even on this first day of Autumn) for the normal of Internet rules for Christmas reveals and content, it’s way too early for us so we’re splitting the difference, I guess. Either way, let’s jump into today’s list.
LIST | WHO PLAYED BATMAN BEST? FEATURING THE MEN PLAYING BATMAN
On the agenda is spotlighting all of the Christmas-y novels heading to your shelves this season. While in truth this won’t be all of the Christmas fiction or Christmas book releases of 2024, it’s still a good start. Sometimes that’s all we need before the domino effect reveals itself. Let’s discover (though likely none will be new to you!) what books you can add to your shelf of the seasonal variety.

Described as part White Christmas, this novel follows a lonely woman during the Christmas season.
