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?
