My Favourite Christmas Books

23:29:00

Nothing cheers me up quite like a good book, although I do find it quite hard to make time for it during the school year. I definitely read the most during the summer, but Christmas time is a close second. Can anything really beat cuddling up in the sofa under a blanket, reading you favourite book with a hot chocolate in hand?

I have a list of favourite books (which you can find here), and they all make me so happy. However, there is something very special about having a book specific to christmas, or that give you that very special christmas feeling. In this blogpost I thought I'd show you what my three very favourite books around christmas-time are.

The first and main one is of course Let It Snow, by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. It consists of three short stories that intertwine. They're humorous and cosy, and just generally happy. I can read it over and over, and although it's not necessarily a challenging read it's the kind of book that just leaves you very happy and grateful. I would definitely reccommend it, and it is the number one book that gets me in the holiday mood.

Another book, which was featured on my Top Ten Favourite Books of All Time, is Dash and Lily's Book of Dares. It's written by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan, and is about two characters who get to know each other through a hidden notebook when they're both  lonely in New York City during Christmas. It reminds me of The Perks of Being a Wallflower but just a lot more christmassy (there we are again with that word). It's a really entertaining and funny book, and definitely makes you want a cute holiday romance.

The next one aren't directly christmas related, but still definitely cheers me up and puts me in a holiday mood. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is probably my number one favourite book of all time. There's something about this one in particular that really makes me want to cuddle up and read it with my cousin, which also brings back so many happy memories.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, and let me know what you thought! Do you like any of these books? What are some of you favourite books?

Also, I don't do this very often, but I'd love for you to check out my bloglovin, if you'd like to stay updated with my blogposts. I really appreciate it.

  3. When I clicked on your blog link I instantly smiled because of how Christmassy your blog looks! I LOVE Harry Potter & am so glad I found a fellow Potterhead! I read a book by both John Green & David Levithan (called Will Grayson Will Grayson) and I loved it, so I'll definitely have to check out Let it Snow & Dash and Lily's Book of Dares! I love posts about books, there's just something about them.

    1. Thank you! I figured it could use a little update, especially now that I'm doing blogmas. Yes!! Harry Potter is definitely my biggest obsession, I've read them too many times. I've read Wil Grayson, Wil Grayson too actually! I quite enjoyed it too, but I definitely prefer their other books :)
