Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books
Set in Snowy Places (If snow isn’t your thing, pick another kind of place
and share books set there!) I don't have the brain capacity to figure out where books are set and I thought about just doing books with snow on the cover, but instead I think I will go with my favorite Christmas books so far this year...and if they have snow on the cover=bonus! I have read/listened to 17 books and currently am reading one and listening to one, so I have a total of 19 to choose from. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
Top Ten Tuesday- Favorite Christmas books of 2025 (so far!!)
Clicking on the cover will take you to my review.
Faking Christmas by Cindy Steel and While You Were Skiing by Megan Byrd
Single All the Way by Kate Watson and Meddling with Mistletoe by Liz Johnson
Waiting for Gilbert and Planning for Nickie by Tasha Hackett; I have not had time to write my review yet for Planning for Nickie, hopefully it will be up tomorrow.
The Gratitude Guarantee by Jordan Millsaps and 22 Days of Mistletoe by Jen Atkinson
Mistletoe and Malice by Lori Dejong and A Very Merry Matchup by Becca Kinzer
Later on We'll Conspire by Kortney Keisel-I am still listening to this one. I don't think it is going to be a favorite, although I am enjoying it. I am mentioning it because it has such a different premise-he is a spy. Not what you would expect from a holiday story.
All of these have been 5-star reads for me. For the most part they have also been funny and memorable.
What topic did you do today? I would love for you to share in the comments. To see what other topics our bookish friends are doing this week click on the image below.
My aunts have a sprig of mistletoe hanging over the doorway of their house every Christmas. I think it’s such a fun tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteLydia, I don't think I have ever seen real mistletoe, LOL!
DeleteWow, they sell them here everywhere before Christmas. And it's not even a German tradition.
DeleteMarianne, maybe I am not looking in the right places? I have no idea, LOL!
DeleteI doubt it, Cindy. They are everywhere here, Christmas markets, supermarkets, anywhere they sell flowers ...
DeleteGood to know!
DeleteLove all the book covers - they're so festive.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
Thanks Rebecca!
DeleteThese all look like great fun!

ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, I did :)
DeleteThese all look like so much fun, Cindy. I might need to add some of these to my wish list. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I hope you find some new ones to love!
DeleteI always love listening to a Christmas book around this time. These are new to me.
ReplyDeleteBrooke, me too :) Although, this year I started listening WAY earlier than I normally would!
DeleteSome of these look REALLY fun and cute and I did like Liz's. :)
ReplyDeleteRissi, I loved them all!
DeleteWhile You Were Skiing looks good! I haven't seen that one until today!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, it is super cute, it released a few days ago.
DeleteThese all look good. Such pretty covers.
ReplyDeleteYvonne, thanks!
DeleteAh, you know me! I love Christmas books! Faking Christmas is one of my very favorites! I just bought Single all the Way on Chirp for like $2 and can't wait to listen to it. It looks adorable. 12 Days of Mistletoe and A Very Merry Matchup are on my to-read list, too! I wish the Christmas season was longer so I had more time to read Christmas books!
ReplyDeleteJana, I listened to Single All the Way, and it is the way to go, LOL! It really made the book. I started reading earlier, but I will not get to all the books I want to read this year.
DeleteThese all look so super cute and happy!!
ReplyDeleteErin, exactly what I need right now!
DeleteI'm feeling very Christmas-sy with your books. The look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my post:

Thanks Marianne!
DeleteFunny that snowy covers seem to tend to be in romance.
ReplyDeleteI have read very few books with snow on the cover
Emma, I did read a suspense novel with snow on the cover, but it still had romance, LOL!
