Today’s Topic: Bookish Christmas Tag
Created By: Callum McLaughlin
Father Christmas: Name a book you received as a child that you treasure to this day.
A wintertime classic read for any kid and I still love to read this book! The story features the story who explores his neighborhood after the season’s first snowfall. It does a fantastic job of capturing the magic of snow.
The ghost of Christmas past: Is there a book or series you like to revisit each year at Christmas time?
Not really, but I do love to watch Home Alone about 20 times every Christmas season.
Christmas tree: Name a series that reaches new heights with every entry.
The thing that stood out most to me about this series is that it’s not only focused on romance, but mainly self-love. It has an incredibly powerful and uplifting message on body image, finding yourself, and family; which was really refreshing to see. I love the art style and character detail, they looked so animated in some scenes I thought the drawings would leap off of the page.
Friends and family: Name a book with fantastic characters.
I loved the setting of The Icon building in this story with the backdrop of Miami which makes it a great summertime read or something to warm you up in the colder months. We get introduced to all these entertaining personalities and how their views of romance novels also affects their love lives.
Decorations: Name a book with a gorgeous cover you would proudly display on your shelves.
This story illustrates the moment in our lives when you are navigating the moment between adolescence and adulthood in an authentic way. It reminds reader how you can discover your own path in life while honoring your heritage. LaDelle did a wonderful job of not only crafting memorable characters, but also giving them complexity and depth /
Christmas cards: Name a book that carries a great message.
This book chronicles female astronauts journeys to working for NASA, snippets of their personal lives, and what factors led them to pursuing their dreams. It is an inspiring book to get a further glimpse of these important women’s historical achievements and how they would pave the way for future generations.
Ice and snow: Name a book that you were hoping to love but which ultimately left you feeling cold.
While the book is very slow-paced as it should be due to its immense amount of details, I felt that was too lengthy. There were times that I felt that certain stories, cases, and people Ricca talked about could have been cut as I felt they took away from the initial focus of the story. At one point the book moves so slow I almost DNF’d the book.
Christmas lunch: Name a book that was big and intimidating but oh so worth it in the end.
This is an incredibly rich story full of suspense, action-packed scenes, fantasy elements that will surprise the reader, and a highly immersive world to get lost in. I was excited to read every new chapter! The epilogue leaves a promising and interesting cliffhanger that will leave the reader wanting more
Mince pies: Name a book you found sweet and satisfying.
What a sweet treat of a romance novel (see what I did there, haha)! My Sweet Escape is a story of savoring life’s small moments, stepping away from the hustle, and indulging in mouth-watering candy recipes.
Presents: What book do you wish you could give everyone to read?
McKenzie crafts a very engaging narrative of a coming-of-age story set during the Civil Rights era while also highlighting events from the past. As a whole what made this reading experience so memorable for me what that it was so humorous. I would recommend this to readers who love historical fiction, stories with heart, and a journey of self-discovery.

I loved Mia McKenzie’s first book, so voice-driven, so character-rich, but I keep losing track of my plan to read this one! Actually I kinda have the opposite tendency over the holidays, din recent years, even tho normally I love rewatching and rereading most of the time…with time away from my work, I feel like I can finally start a different series or watch some movies in my queue, or set aside all the books in my stack and pick up random things. I dunno if this is a new trend, or just a pause on the “old favourites” revisiting…guess I’ll see. (Either way, I still like hearing about your rereads and reviews.)
