Let’s talk Bookish ➙ Festive reads 🎄

Let’s talk Bookish ➙ Festive reads 🎄

Heey!

Long time no see; Today we’re doing the December 5th prompt, asking about A change in Festive Reads : Do you read holiday/winter-themed reads? Do you have any on your TBR this December? What have been favorites from past years? Are there any festive books you like to re-read during the holidays?

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @Eternity Books and co-hosted by Aria @Book Nook Bits and Dini @dinipandareads! In this discussion meme, participants get to talk about certain topics, share opinions, and spread the love by visiting each other’s posts! Learn more about LTB, past topics and future topics Here.

So, even though i’m a Christmas baby (27th december!), I’m not a fan 😅 I much prefer autumn/Halloween season rather than Christmas.. We celebrate to a bare minimum: decorations, turkey or ham on the 25th, and opening gifts on the 24th at midnight. As i’m an adult now, and we don’t have any children, it does gets boring- I never know what to ask for both Xmas & my birthday as I mainly buy my own things the other 11months of the year ahah so..

As i’m a mood reader, I’d say it’s pretty hard to time; as said above, I don’t get in the Xmas mood in the same way as I do in the autumn with thrillers & horrors. However; I do like the festive horrors, like Krampus for exemple. It’s wierd i’m not much into festive romance, as I am a big romance reader; but then again I don’t particularly like this time of year either. I would rather pick new year romances instead.

 

Festive reads on my Winter TBR;

Noel Sanglant, Sylvain Johnson (French festive horror)
The most wonderful crime of the year, Ally Carter (Festive mystery romance)
& In five years, Rebecca Serle (Festive new year contemporary)

 

Favorites of past years;

Krampus, David Bédard (French festive horror)
The christmas murder game, Alexandra Benedict (Festive thriller)
Adeste Fidèle, Patrick Isabelle (French horror – part of the Anna Carita serie, treating the “Black Christmas”)
Season for second chances, Jenny Bayliss (Festive Romance)*
10 blind dates, Ashley Elston (Festive Romance)*

 

 

Do you like to read festive themed books?
Would you have any recs for me?

      1. Ahah I do that all the time 🙈 I had one on my winter tbr a couple years ago (the christmas pudding one) but didn’t got to it. I still haven’t read anything from her yet ahah

  2. Fair enough, this time of your is not beloved by everyone! I do have Ten Blind Dates on my TBR thougha nd I’ve heard it’s very sweet/fun. I can’t wait to check it out. Thanks for joining this week’s LTB!

    1. Yes thats true, I absolutely loved ten blind dates ! It kept making me thing of my family… back when we did have christmas habits

  3. Understandable. I’m a mood reader too, but there were a few years where, all the sudden in December, I did get into a mood where all I wanted to read was Christmas books. Which was odd because I was otherwise feeling very unfestive. I haven’t read any this year. I hope you have a nice Xmas and birthday 🙂
