posted by soe 2:11 am

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl is a holiday-themed freebie. My apartment is currently littered with books of a winter holiday bent, so I’m going to share ten of them I hope to get to before my Christmas tree comes down:

  1. Good Spirits by B.K. Borison (currently listening)
  2. The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer (on my phone)
  3. The Wood at Midwinter by Suzanne Clarke, with illustrations by Victoria Sawdon (own)
  4. Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake (checked out)
  5. Death Comes at Christmas edited by Marie O’Regan and Paul Kane (own)
  6. Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand (own)
  7. You Make It Feel like Christmas by Toni Shiloh (checked out)
  8. Holly and Nick Hate Christmas by Betsy St. Amant (checked out)
  9. I’ll Be Home for Christmas by Jenny Bayliss (checked out)
  10. Mint to Be by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc (checked out)

How about you? Any holiday-themed books on your radar this month?

Happy Tuesday

I don’t usually seek out holiday reads, but if I find one that sounds interesting, I’ll snap it up. Will have to check these out.

Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

I’m hoping to read The Matzah Ball this month, too.
