It is that time of year again! I love everything about the holiday season and I am excited to be posting holiday content. I googled ‘Christmas book tags’ and there are so many! I found this tag on Alyssa’s blog Pucks and Paperbacks, and really loved the questions.
Anticipation: The Christmas excitement is real, what book release(s) are you most anticipating?
I am planning on making a few posts about my most anticipated books of 2019 in various genres, so look out for those! If I had to choose one book, I would have to pick With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo. I loved The Poet X and I have not doubt this one will be just as good- plus the cover is fantastic!
Christmas Songs & Carols: What book or author can you not help but sing it’s praises?
There is something so special about A Man Called Ove! I would talk about it in every post if that wasn’t ridiculous. It is one of those books that I feel comfortable recommending to absolutely everyone. So much charm!
Gingerbread Houses: What book or series has wonderful world building?
The Poppy War is one of the best fantasy novels that I have ever read, and a big part of that is because of the world building. I appreciated all of the history of the world and that is it based on modern Chinese history. The world building was detailed but not tiresome.
A Christmas Carol: Favorite classic or one that you want to read?
Cannery Row is not only my favourite classic- it is my favourite book! There are so many things that I adore about this book, but above all it is the characters. It is one of Steinbeck’s lesser known works and I wish it was talked about more!
Christmas Sweets: What book would you love to receive for Christmas?
I made a post about this very topic the other day for Top Five Tuesday! Check it out if you are interested!
Candles in the Window: What book gives you that warm fuzzy feeling?
The Kiss Quotient is so freaking adorable- just thinking about it gives me the warm fuzzies! I love both of the main characters and seeing them navigate their feelings for one another is just plain fun.
Christmas Trees & Decorations: What are some of your favorite book covers?
I have made three blog posts highlight some of my favourite covers- you can find them here, here, and here! I might post another one in the near future. There have been so many amazing covers recently.
Christmas Joy: What are some of your favorite things about Christmas And/Or some of your favorite Christmas memories?
My favourite thing about Christmas is actually the entire Christmas season! I love listening to Christmas music, baking, watching Christmas movies, buying present- all of it! I just love the feeling of Christmas and I really get in to it.
I have been quite interested with A Man Called Ove for some time now. Maybe I’ll read it in the near future. Love your book choices!
Thank you! I really hope you love A Man Called Ove. It is wonderful!
Yesss The Kiss Quotient is amazing! I always find myself rereading it because the chemistry between Stella and Michael is so sweet agh I’m crying just thinking about them. <3 Great post!
Yes! They have so much chemistry! I love their banter!
I’m glad you like Christmas Tags as I have tagged you in one that will be posted tomorrow haha 😀
I did not know Cannery Row is your all time favourite book – might have to give it a go for 2019!
Haha awesome! I was looking for a Christmas tag for next week so that will be perfect!
Richard you have to read Cannery Row and then come back and tell me how much you loved it!
I’m glad to hear you liked the worldbuilding in The Poppy War so much – I’m really excited to read that one! I also love the Christmas season with all its festive-ness :)<3
Oh, I really think you’ll love The Poppy War!
This is my favourite time of year!
The Kiss Quotient definitely makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to! I can’t wait for her next book.
Yes! Such a sweet book and have high hopes for her next one!
I love this tag!!
Isn’t it great? I would love to see your answers!
It is! I might have to give it a go! 😀
I love Cannery Row! It’s so nice to see someone else thinks it’s underrated!
Yay! That makes me happy!
Great tag! I have The Poppy War coming in the mail–B&N had it on sale for 50% off, which is really exciting. I didn’t like the cost of the hardcover, but the premise of the book sounds really intriguing. So hopefully I’ll get to read it early in the new year.
Wow! That’s a great deal! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
I really like the sound of with the fire on high 🙂 Ah I hear you about a man called ove 🙂 So glad poppy war and kiss quotient were so good!
I received an eARC of With the Fire on High and screamed out loud. Very excited!
There were a lot of great books released this year!
Awesome!!
