December TBR

I know this post is a little late, but I've finally managed to figure out which books I want to read for the last month of not only the year, but also the decade. I decided not to put too much pressure on picking the 'right' book for the end of the year and to just read fun books that will make me feel warm inside during possibly the coldest of winter months.

Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe by Jenny Colgan
Book Depository丨Goodreads

The Cosy Christmas Chocolate Shop by Caroline Roberts

Calling Mrs Christmas by Carole Matthews

The Chocolate Lovers Christmas by Carole Matthews

Christmas on the Little Cornish Isles by Phillipa Ashley

I'm also taking part in the Winter Harry Potter Readathon (link here) but you don't get all the prompts at the start of the month (you kind of work through the prompts, it's really cool), so I can only tell you the first book that I've chosen which is:

The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan

What are you reading this month? Are you reading any Christmassy books?

Favourite Christmas books I've read in my life

Top Ten Tuesday: Holiday Reads

I love reading Christmas books in the build up to Christmas Day, reading four or five every December. For me, Christmas books are what Christmas movies are to most people: a way to get excited about the Christmas season whilst feeling warm and cosy inside. As a result, I have read a huge amount of Christmas books in my life and I have decided to use this prompt to list my favourites (so far).

This list is in no way ordered because I love all of them equally!

Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle

Angels at the Table by Debbie Macomber

Autumn Book Haul

Wow! I'm back on this blog again, and just in time for blogmas! The festive season is now upon us and I though it would be good to kick it off with a final farewell to the Autumn season aka an extremely long book haul. I've been trying really hard to only buy two books a month, but as you can tell I went a little bit crazy last month and ended up buying 6 books! Whoops!

Anyways, all the books that are in red are ones I've read (see the play on words...) and all the ones in green are ones I still have to read, so you can see how balanced I've tried to keep it. Also, the ones in blue are the ones that my mum gave me (so at least it wasn't my money I was spending).

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

The Boy Who Steals Houses by C.G Drews

Someone Gives This Heart A Pen by Sophia Thanker

Panic by Lauren Oliver

Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

The Shadowhunter Codex by Cassandra Clare

Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

The Places I've Cried in Public by Holly Bourne

Songs about a Boy by Chris Russell

The Red Scrolls of Magic by Cassandra Clare

Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts by Lucy Dillion

The Lido by Libby Page

Christmas on the Little Cornish Isles by Phillipa Ashley

Hygge and Kisses by Clara Christensen

The Cornish Cream Tea Bus by Cressida McLaughlin

So yeah, I ended up collecting 16 books over 3 months which is honestly more than I thought I was going to end up with. I'm desperately trying to get my TBR under 300 books but at this point it seems to be a losing battle!

How many books did you buy this Autumn? Have you read any of the books on my list?
