Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes. I don't tend to ask or receive books as gifts, with the notable exception of cookbooks. So, here are the ten Christmas books I have read so far this year. I am currently reading another two as well!
Actually, I am going to start with a bonus book! Last night I read this book to my nephew. My sister, her husband and my husband were all in the room as well, so it was like a group readalong.
And now on for the actual top ten!

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - I can't believe I haven't read this until now!
The Silver Haired Sisterhood by Judy Leigh - Christmas on the Isle of Skye sound great. (My review)
A Christmas Surprise in Pelican Crossing by Maggie Christensen - It's so nice to read a Christmas novel set in Australia! (My review)
The Christmas Book Hunt by Jenny Colgan - A fun short story! Must read more Jenny Colgan (My review)
A Skye Full of Stars by Sue Moorcroft - Yes, this is another Christmas novel set on the Isle of Skye. (My review)

Someone Like You by Sandy Barker - This one was set in both London and Seattle, which I loved! (My review)
A Recipe For Christmas by Jo Thomas - This one had it all! Chocolate, grumpy hero, and snow in Switzerland! (My review)
The Village Christmas Party by Sue Roberts - What happens when the village senior Christmas lunch is booked at the same time as a birthday party for a 5 year old. (My review)
One Winter at the French Chalet by Mandy Baggot - When a journalist is sent to a village in the French Alps to cover a story about a pregnant reindeer and a man named Wolf, Christmas magic ensues. (My review)
Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin - Christmas in Paris! Yes please. (My review)
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

It's funny how a book feels so familiar that it seems like you must of read it, but then you read it and you realize you haven't! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you Deb!
DeleteThese all look very Christmassy. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are Lydia!
DeleteSome of my grandkids are obsessed with Bluey! I would not have guessed that The Silver Haired Sisterhood is a Christmas read. These all look like great Christmas stories. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhen reading this story everyone in the room was surprised to realise that Bluey is a girl!
DeleteIt looks like you've found some fun books. I've read several Christmas books this year, but none of the ones you have here. Merry Christsmas!
