Books for Christmas
Welcome to Christmas 2023. I am calling it now. As alluded to, quite heavily, in my previous post, I will be doing #12booksofchristmas again, where I review 12 Christmas books throughout December. These are books I have been reading specially for this December.
I have been wanting to gather together a list of all the Christmas books reviewed here on the blog over the 3 years I have been blogging. Why? I am obsessed with Christmas and Christmas books. Each year of the blog I have produced the #12booksofchristmas which are 12 Christmassy books that I have read an enjoyed. But others have been read and reviewed as well, usually in the summer months...when it's hot and I'm eating an ice-cream. I'll continue to add to the list as I go. Hope you enjoy!
