I thought it might be fun to round up all the Christmas books I've reviewed here over the past few years. If you're looking for something festive to read this December, maybe one of these will strike your fancy!
You'll discover that I didn't love all of these, by the way. But I did love several, and liked many more.

I've been needing some Christmas reads, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSkye, you're welcome! I'm considering making this into a permanent page, since I'm reviewing more Christmas books every year.
DeleteThanks for this list! I ordered the L. Frank Baum book to read aloud to my 10 yo. I had never heard of it (or the Tolkien book) until I read your review. They sound fun! I'm currently reading Murder for Christmas by Francis Duncan, which I'm enjoying. Planning on starting The Innkeeper's Wife soon. Would like to get a few more Christmas reads in after those...looks like I'll be reading them well past Christmas, which is fine.

Becky, that's so awesome! I hope you and your kiddo like the Santa book.
DeleteI've just started a massive collection of Christmas mystery short stories. I am certain it will carry me on through the New Year, but I'm okay with that :-)
