Tarissa hosts the Literary Christmas Challenge in December: actually, it started in November, but I like to hold off on Christmas reading til after Thanksgiving. The main rule: read Christmas books! And link up your posts about them (via a blog, Goodreads review, etc.).
Here’s what I am planning to read this month:
Finding Christ in Christmas by A. W. Tozer (99 cents for the Kindle app as of this writing. Tozer always makes one think.)
Homeless for the Holidays by P. S. Wells and Marsha Wright.
Christmas Stitches by Judith Miller, Nancy Moser, and Stephanie Grace Whitson. I’ve read many of Judith and Nancy’s books, so I am looking forward to this Christmas collection.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside by Susan May Warren
I’ll Be Home For Christmas: Four Inspirational Holiday Novellas by Lenora Worth, Belle Calhoune, Jill Kemerer, and Allie Pleiter. This is not showing up on Amazon anymore, but you can read more about it on Goodreads here. I’ve not read any of these authors, but I used to follow a blog that Lenora contributed to, so that’s probably what prompted this purchase.
If I should finish all these and I’m not tired of Christmas stories at that point, I’d love to get Terri Blackstock’s Catching Christmas and Michelle Griep’s Once Upon a Dickens Christmas series, Twelve Days at Bleakly Manor and A Tale of Two Hearts. I’m trying to read what I have already accumulated through sales before I add any more.
And that’s it for this year! Do you plan to do any Christmas-themed reading this month?
Barbara, thank you so much for sharing about this challenge! I’ve just downloaded two of your choices to the Kindle. I’ve been doing a good bit of reading anyway so I may as well be putting it toward a challenge. 🙂
Barbara,
Thanks for joining the reading challenge!
This is an awesome Christmas reading list! I see several here that I might add to my own reading material (or perhaps by next year anyways, as I already have too many in mind to read over the next month). 😀
Merry reading to you!
Tarissa
