For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday I decided to go with books that make me think of Christmas. I’ve included a mixture of books that I have read and some that are still on my TBR. Let’s jump right in!
1. In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
I have not yet read this one, but the cover just screams Christmas. I have read one of Christina Lauren’s books and really enjoyed their story-telling and I have been wanting to read some more romance novels, so this seems like the perfect read.
2. The Twelve Days of Dash and Lily by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
This book has been on my radar for quite some time thanks to Zoella’s Bookclub. I only realised recently that it is in fact 2nd in a trilogy, and after watching the Netflix adaptation of the first book I am even more interested in this series. This edition’s cover is the prettiest in my opinion, and I really hope to read these books soon.
3. A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig
This just looks adorable! I believe it is a Father Christmas origin story and it sounds like a lovely series.
4. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
This is one classic series that I am looking forward to finishing. I have started it before and watched a few adaptions and I know the opening scene involves Christmas in a very lovely way. I do own a different copy of this but this cover is way more Christmassy and I had to include it.
5. The Toy Makers by Robert Dinsdale
Okay, I know absolutely nothing about this book, but anything to do with Nutcrackers always make me think of Christmas. I have heard that this is a lovely story and I hope to read it soon.
6. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickons
I have always enjoyed this classic tale, but I do not believe I have read the book before.
7. The Twelve Doctors of Christmas
Last Christmas I read a different collection of Doctor Who Christmas stories and I loved it! Ever since I started watching the show is has become intertwined with Christmas in the geekiest way possible and I love it. This collection looks like it will be a great read too.
8. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr Seuss
Okay now we get to the last few books that I have actually read! I have loved the movie adaptation of this as long as I can remember, and the book’s message is just as good.
9. The Nevermoor Series by Jessica Townsend
Okay I have read the first three installments in this series and I LOVE how they showcase Christmas in the world of Nevermoor. I chose to feature this cover of Wundersmith because it looks the most Christmassy to me, but I think the other two books are where Christmass really shines.
10. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
I couldn’t make this list without including this book. In fact, I am watching the adaptation while writing this post and it is lovely. This particular book in the Narnia series has a big focus on Christmas and I love Father Christmas in this story, he’s super cool.
Okay, now I am officially in the mood to turn on the AC as cold as it can go and snuggle down with a blanket and some hot chocolate! Even though I have always had a summer Christmas, I love reading and watching stories about winter wonderlands and snow (seeing as it never snows where I live, I have always associated the idea of it with Christmas anyways).
I hope you are all having a jolly holiday season and reading cosy books! What is your favourite Christmas book?
Lots of love
xoxo

Thank you!
The Nevermoor series sounds fun.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It’s a great read!
I’m so curious about A Boy Called Christmas.

In a Holidaze is one of my favorite holiday releases this season. Nice list!
Thank you!
I love the cover you featured for The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.
It is really pretty 😍
I haven’t read The Toy Makers either but it definitely gives off Christmas vibes!
Agreed!
I should have put Nevermoor on my list. I love that series, and it’s perfect for Christmas! I’m hoping to reread A Christmas Carol this year. It’s been a long time since I read it.
