The Christmas Songs Book Tag

 

Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl created The Christmas Songs Book Tag in 2015 and she brings it back each year for people to participate in. Because she does this every year, she limits her choices to books she has read in 2025. She also tries to only use one book one time. You can do whatever you would like. :)

1. “All I Want for Christmas Is You”: Favorite bookish couple.

Gus and Woodrow from Lonesome Dove

2. “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”: Name a book where a character is away from home (school, vacation, etc.).

James by Percival Everett

3. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”: Name your favorite “little” book (children’s book, short story, novella, etc.).

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown

4. “Santa Claus is Coming to Town“: What book(s) do you hope Santa brings you this year?

The Daily Stoic Journal by Ryan Holiday


5. “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”: Which book turned your nose red (made you cry)?

Hiroshima Diary: The Journal of a Japanese Physician, August 6-September 30, 1945 by Michihiko Hachiya


6. “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”: Your favorite book/kind of book to read during the holidays.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss

7. “We Three Kings”: Your favorite trilogy/book from a trilogy (or feel free to fudge it and pick a book from a series).


The Thomas Cromwell series by Hillary Mantel: 
Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, The Mirror and the Light



8. “Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow”: A character you would love to be snowed in with.

I'd enjoy spending time in snow or in springtime with the four fascinating characters from The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim.



9. “Last Christmas”: A book that seriously let you down.

Rome and a Villa by Eleanor Clark


10. “White Christmas”: An upcoming release you’re dreaming about. 

The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout
