It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
I adore this time of year for books – there is nothing cozier than curling up by the christmas tree or fire and reading a holiday story. Instead of my usual fall book list, I thought I’d do a holiday one this year because they are some of my favorites.
I’ve read so many of these! Some of them (like Elin’s Winter Street series) I often reread every year because they put me in major holiday mode. And I love it!
Also! If you’re new around here, my go-to reads and favorites picks are most types of women’s fiction. Light, fun, beachy reads are my #1 choice. I love to listen to nonfiction, memoirs and autobiographies on audible. I like thrillers, but have a few triggers that I stay away from. I read to escape, to get lost in the story, to feel like the characters are my friends. And I actually love the day after I finish a great book and can’t even stand to start a new one because I’m mourning my new (character) friends. It’s the best worst feeling.
I can’t WAIT to hear your current recommendations in the comments, what you’re reading now and what’s on your list. You can find my summer 2024 reading list here.
