The Christmas Carol Book Tag

Christmas is just around the corner so what better time to post The Christmas Carol Book Tag than now? 🎄 I saw this on Caro’s blog the other day and thought it looked like fun so I thought I’d give it a go and I’m going to get right to it!

The Ghost of Christmas Past
A book that was a childhood favourite

Where the Sidewalk Ends

I remember discovering Where the Sidewalk Ends and Silverstein’s other poetry books and falling in love with the rhymes and matching illustrations. It has been years since I last read it but I distinctly remember the joy and comfort these books brought me! 💜

The Ghost of Christmas Present
A recent book that you think will become one of your all-time favourites

The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue

I’m counting this as “recent” because I read it earlier this year. This not only left me in tears but also completely speechless. I love it so much! 🥺

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come
A book coming out next year that you’re most excited about

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping

There are a number of books I’m excited for in 2025 but I’m really looking forward to this one! I thought this was out in December but maybe I got it wrong or the date got pushed back. Either way, I’m keen to get it!

Bah, Hambug
A book that everyone else loves that you just can’t stand

From Blood and Ash

Alright, it’s time for the truth. I don’t even care if I get flack for this but I just can’t with this entire series. 😅 The first book was just okay but the rest? Yikes! I’m sorry, it was just really bad and I don’t understand… I just don’t understand. 🫣

Bob Cratchit
An old dependable that you always recommend

Legends & Lattes

I find recommending books scary (lol) but this is the one that I’ve had the most “success” in recommending, I think. It’s a cosy slice-of-life fantasy where not a whole lot happens but it’s sweet, warm, and delightful!

Tiny Tim
An underhyped book that you think deserves more love

Immortal Dark

I’m going to focus on a release that I read this year that I don’t think received as much hype as it deserved! I didn’t see Immortal Dark mentioned in many places (or maybe I’m not in those places but…) I don’t know why cos it was fantastic!

Today? Why it’s Christmas morning!
What’s a book that always gets you in the mood for Christmas?

Big Nick Energy

I’m not much of a rereader so I don’t have one go-to to kickstart the holiday season. However, I did read Big Nick Energy recently and thought it was such a great feel-good holiday romance and I would recommend it!

The Muppet Christmas Carol
Your favourite film adaptation of a book

The Hobbit

This might be a very unpopular opinion, especially with those who are die-hard Tolkien fans or who treasure his books. However, I was not a fan of The Hobbit novel yet I love the movie and it’s one of my go-to comfort movies! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can’t even begin to tell you how hard the disappointment hit when I read the book! 😭
