Welcome to another TTT! It’s like past Jana knew we’d all be tired of isolation and social distancing right now… lol. During this time of social distancing and quarantine (for me, anyway), it’s fun to dream about being with people again! The topic is: Things I’d Have at My Bookish Party. You pick 10 things that are essential, and you can even pick a specific kind of party you’re planning if you’d like to. That’s what I did! If you know me at all, you know Christmas is my happy place. So when my mom asked me what today’s topic is (like 2 hours before this post was supposed to go up because I lack all sense of time right now), she immediately said “Bookish Christmas party, right?” GENIUS. I’m so frazzled today that I hadn’t even thought of it. So! Here’s how I’d host the most amazing bookish Christmas party.

Venue

A snowy cabin, of course! What better place to celebrate A Bookish Little Christmas than in a cozy cabin with a roaring fireplace and windows opening to a pristine view of blankets and blankets of snow?

Guests

You! It wouldn’t be a bookish party if you weren’t there!

Decorations

Of COURSE I’d have a few Christmas trees made out of books, but there’d be a real Christmas tree too! And so many lights.

Cozy Places

Pretty much all we’d do is read, watch some Christmas movies, pet cats, and eat so we need cozy places to do that!

Food

The most important part, and I’ve chosen things that are easy to consume while reading or being cozy! There’d be Christmas cookies, hot cocoa, and lots of fun snacks and finger food!

Games/Activities

In addition to reading and watching Christmas movies, there’d be games and puzzles!

Gifts

Everyone who comes to my Christmas party gets a copy of my favorite Christmas romance, Christmas at Frozen Falls by Kylie Dunbar! It’s perfection and I know you’ll love it! It’ll be the perfect book to read in one of those cozy spots I mentioned above!

Sylvie Magnusson is going to be lonely this Christmas. Instead of jetting off for her honeymoon, she’s freezing at home in Cheshire. Guess that’s what happens when your fiancé dumps you a week before your wedding…

Sylvie’s best friend, Nari, plans a trip to see the Northern Lights and get Sylvie’s mojo back. But as their Lapland getaway approaches, Sylvie realises that Frozen Falls is the hometown of Stellan Virtanen, her dreamy Finnish ex-boyfriend, the one that got away.

When they meet, Stellan’s still gorgeous – and her heart is warmed when he shows her the romantic delights of Lapland (as well as some adorable Husky puppies). But when she returns to England, can she really leave Stellan behind? Or will she find that her heart belongs in the frozen North?

So, are you coming to my bookish Christmas party?
What king of bookish party would you enjoy planning?
