The "Top Ten Tuesday" meme is hosted by
The Broke and The Bookish, and this week's topic is books for the holiday season!
My picks, in no particular order...
1.)
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson — this one's a classic Christmas read and a lot of fun!
2.)
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens —of course, this one kind of *has* to make the list.
3.)
Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle —this one is such a cute holiday read. I love that the three stories are interwoven and various characters from each pop up in the others!
4.)
Skipping Christmas by John Grisham — the hilarious account of what happens when one couple decides to save some money and not "do Christmas" one year.
5.)
The Father Christmas Letters by J.R.R. Tolkien —yes, something of Tolkien's NOT set in Middle Earth! Written entirely in the format of illustrated letters from "Father Christmas" to J.R.R. Tolkien's children, about Father Christmas's adventures at the North Pole. He kept these letters up every single year for over 10 years!
6.)
The Cat Who Came For Christmas by Cleveland Amory — this is a sweet Christmas read, especially for animal-lovers!
7.)
I Spy Christmas: A Book of Picture Riddles — for the young and young at heart! I used to love looking at the pictures in this one and trying to find the items.
8.)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss —because Dr. Seuss is amazing, and we all love the Grinch.
9.)
A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles Schulz —this one is so well-known that even now we still use the phrase "a Charlie Brown Christmas tree" :D
10.)
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott — not strictly a Christmas book per se, but it starts out during the holidays and I think it's a good comfort read.
