Tis the Season!
As we inch closer and closer to Christmas, I am seeing more and more holiday books. Once upon a time, I never really read many Christmas themed books, because I don't consider myself a seasonal reader, but holiday books have gave me a lot of comfort this year. Here are some I really enjoyed. It's a mix of YA and adult, but they were equally delightful. Each of these books were set around the holiday season, and were filled with celebrations and traditions that I loved sharing with them.
- In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
- All About Us by Tom Ellen
- The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
- Write Before Christmas by Julie Hammerle
- Mistletoe & Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler
- Mind the Gap, Dash & Lily by Rachel Cohn, David Levithan
- Recommended for You by Laura Silverman
- It's a Mall World After All by Janette Rallison
- One Way or Another by Kara McDowell
- All I Want for Christmas by Wendy Loggia

These covers look so gloriously festive! What a lovely list!
ReplyDeleteI love festive books!
DeleteWhat a lovely list! I love how festive the covers look! -Verushka
ReplyDeleteIt's great when they do a good job capturing the spirit of the book
DeleteI haven’t read any holiday books yet. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to a few of them. they were great
DeleteI haven't read many holiday books yet this year but am hoping to fit in at least a couple since they're like Hallmark Christmas movies in book form for me and I'm all about that kind of reading to end the year. I've only read two from your list so will have to check the rest of these out.
ReplyDeleteSome of them really were like a Hallmark movie, and that's a plus for me
DeleteMe too. :)
DeleteAll About Us was a fantastic read - it was even more emotional than I expected it to be!
ReplyDeleteRight? I feel terrible for thinking this, but I was impressed by Ellen's solo. It was a stunningly beautiful story.
DeleteWhat!!?? How did I miss that there was a third Dash and Lily?? I haven't seen this anywhere! Adding it now! I'm hoping to read In a Holidaze this month, and several others on your list are on my tbr. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know we were getting more D&L until I saw it on Netgalley. They didn't do a great job publicizing it either, but it was fun. I hope you get to read Holidaze. To me, it was CLo at their best.
DeleteI just finished In a Holidaze and I LOVED it! I had been worried after seeing some mixed reviews, but I thought it was great. Happy I'm not alone!
DeleteSo good, right? I laughed so much and simply wanted to be adopted into this family
DeleteThe only one I've read on here is In a Holidaze and I enjoyed it. I should try out some more of these before the holidays are gone. Nice list!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I read more holiday books this year. They have all been lots of fun for me
DeleteIn a Holidaze was so much fun. I even recommended it to my sister for her December book club read. :)
ReplyDeleteI would be pushing that book too I had the best time reading it.
DeleteGreat list! Write Before Christmas is one I've been eyeballing for a bit now. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was cute. Very much like a Hallmark movie
DeleteI've been really in the sprit of the season this year. I think we all are looking for some comfort!
ReplyDeleteGotta get it where you can
DeleteCute picks! These are all new to me ones as you might guess! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TTT!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
One of these days you are going to surprise me and read a contemporary
DeleteI have never been a big reader of holiday books. I will read them if they sound good but I don't generally seek them out. I did order myself a copy of In a Holidaze this year and really enjoyed All About Us.
ReplyDeleteHolidaze was such a treat. I really hope you love it!
DeleteI see In A Holidaze everywhere, and honestly I love that cover so much. I want it just for that, I could put it on my shelf or coffee table and just look at the cover periodically lol.
ReplyDeleteThe book was just so fun. It was fantastic celebrating the holiday with this group.
DeleteI have In a Holidaze, I just need to make time for it. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a moment you need a laugh and good cheer, it will deliver both.
Deletecontemporary/romance covers really just have that really adorable vibes in them. I'm especially in love with those covers with illustrations
ReplyDeleteYou are in luck, because illustrated covers are all the rage these days
DeleteI like Christmas books in theory, but I guess I don't actually read many of them. These all look like fun, festive stories - I'll have to check some of them out.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Honestly, I have read more this year than ever before, and I am glad I did.
DeleteThe Twelve Dates of Christmas looks so fun, and one of my BOTM choices for December is In a Holidaze.

Yeah! I can't wait to hear what you think of In a Holidaze!
DeleteI read at least 3 back in October but nothing since lol I love seasonal books though.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
All those ARCs, right? Same here, but they have a bunch of holiday audiobooks on Hoopla, so I can feed my need
DeleteWhat a festive list!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun too
DeleteJust these covers make me feel like Christmas is here Sam!
ReplyDeleteThe books showcase some great holiday traditions too
DeleteI've added, well, basically EVERY one of these books to my TBR. I, like you, don't do much seasonal reading. But this year feels like the right year for it. With everything going on in the world fluffy, seasonal books are EXACTLY what I need. Thanks for all the recs! I'm so glad you're super well-read so I can trust your TTT. XD Most of mine feel like TBR lists rather than read lists...
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to enjoy a few of these. The first three were absolute standouts for me, if I had to choose, though, I really enjoyed them all.
DeleteThese covers are fun and cozy. They look perfect for Christmas. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
They left me merry and bright
DeleteI've only read a handful of Christmas books in my lifetime but this year I need all the Christmas joy! So I've been reading a lot of them too. I loved In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren! I have holds on The Twelve Dates of Christmas & Mistletoe & Mr. Right at my library. :)
ReplyDeleteJen @ Star-Crossed Book Blog
I never read as many as this year. Twelve Dates was so good. I loved everything about that book. I hope you enjoy it when your hold comes through.
DeleteI have several of these on my kindle unread and probably wont get to them this year... But definitely next year! The 12 Dates of Christmas, I did read, and loved.
ReplyDeleteI read the bulk of my holiday books as ARCs, so back in September. Any time of year can always use some cheer. I wish more people were screaming about 12 Dates. It was wonderful!
