Welcome to another TTT! Yes, you’re in the right place. lol. Do not be confused by the festive nature of my post! Today’s topic is a freebie or throwback topic, which means you get to either come up with your own topic or browse the list of previous topics and pick one that speaks to you! I decided to go with a freebie because I’ve got Christmas on the brain right now! I love the concept of Christmas in July. You know me, I love Christmas a lot. But as much as I love it, I’ve always been one to pretty much keep Christmas in November and December so as to keep it special. This month, even though I’m loving summer, I’ve got a hankering to celebrate Christmas a little! I’m having a bit of a hard time and want some festive cheer. And really, I never get as much reading done during the holidays as I’d like, so what better time to catch up on some of those titles I miss year after year? Today I’m sharing some Christmas books I keep not having time for, plus a couple coming out this year that I’d like to get a jump on!
My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely
The Christmas Express by Isla Gordon
Highland Hearts Holiday Bookshop by Tricia O’Malley
The Christmas Book Hunt by Jenny Colgan
Christmas with the Queen by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb
Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas
Christmas at the Little Paris Hotel by Rebecca Raisin
Dear Christmas by Sarah Ready
The Holiday Stand-In by Kortney Keisel
Snowed In by Catherine Walsh
Do you read Christmas books all year, or do you save them for the holidays?
What topic did you pick for this week’s freebie/throwback?
Have a happy 4th of July this week to all my friends here in the USA!
If you read any of these, I hope you enjoy! I read Lisa’s years ago and did enjoy it (the Hallmark Hall of Fame brand adapted that one) and Kortney’s book looks sweet, too. :)
We love a Christmas in July here! Of your books I have read the Rebecca Raisin and Jenny Colgan books. I am already looking forward to Rebecca Raisin’s next festive book!
Oh, and I read the Lisa Kleypas book years ago too!
We did very similar themes.
I enjoyed The Christmas Book Hunt. I have the Rebecca Raisin one on my list, but I don’t know if I will have time to read it. It’s a pre approved Netgalley one so I won’t download it until I know that I will have time to review it.
Have a great week!
Ooh nice topic and picks! I don’t really get to read many “holiday” books as the genres I read don’t really put much emphasis on a holiday. Random books might throw one in if they take place during certain months. But never anything big. I’ve read quite a few novellas though that do this and they are always fun! Hope you get to read these soon and enjoy them all!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Great topic! Such pretty colors. I just finished reading a Christmas book. It happened to be the next book in a series I’m reading. I can read them throughout the year. It doesn’t have to be on the holiday.
Every year I saw I need to read more holiday reads and every year I fail lol
All of these sound like so much fun, Jana. Every year, I say I will read more Christmas titles. Maybe 2025 will be it.
I confess that with the heatwave we are currently experiencing a Christmas story doesn’t seem so bad!
Like you, I normally keep my Christmas reading to November/December, but I never get through all the books I want to read! I have a HUGE list for this year, LOL! Maybe I should start earlier. I hope you enjoy all of these.
Always ready for some holiday reading! and all these look great.. i would start with the bookish titles and Lisa Kleypas title
These all look so festive and cozy – perfect for Christmas or Christmas in July! I hope you enjoy them all and that they give you the pick-me-up you need :)
Happy TTT!
