Holiday Books: Past Reads and Current TBR

It’s that time of year. No matter where I am, I usually try to read one holiday book around December to get in the holiday spirit. The year I was in Thailand for Christmas, I found a day to go to Starbucks so I could wear a flannel in the air conditioning and drink a peppermint mocha while reading a holiday romance.

holiday read 1

That year it was a reread of The Present by Johanna Lindsey. The story is a holiday edition in her Malory family series.

Some other past holiday reads include:

holiday read 2

Some Kind of Wonderful by Beth Ciotta which is a novella in her Cupcake Lover’s series

holiday read 3
Let it Snow, a collection of three holiday romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. I saw this book listed on a bustle article: Most Popular Holiday Books, According to Goodreads.


My True Love Gave to Me edited by Stephanie Perkins, a young adult collection of 12 short holiday stories


Comfort and Joy by Kristin Hannah

 Mid October Book Review 1

 A Chesapeake Shores Christmas and An O’Brien Family Christmas by Sherryl Woods, book 4 and book 8 in her Chesapeake Shores book series

My hopeful TBRs for this holiday season are:

holiday read 8

Winter Street by Elin Hilderbrand

holiday read 9 holiday read 10

A Seaside Christmas and The Christmas Bouquet by Sherryl Woods, the next two books in her Chesapeake Shores series. Both are holiday editions! I think she was planning to end the series with the ninth book and then went back to the characters for Christmas stories.
