Christmas is around the corner, and
that means ‘tis the season for delectable peppermint mocha lattes and snuggly
holiday romance novels. But, do you feel
compelled to read Christmas books like it’s a chore? (I kind of do.)
On one hand I
love these books, especially those by Debbie Macomber. They touch my soul and make me want to wrap
presents, spread kindness, cheer, love, and all that good stuff. They’re also pretty short, which makes me
meet my yearly Goodreads Challenge so much faster. This year I’m shooting for 125. Will I make it? Maybe if I throw in a few more Macombers…
But while I love
these books, I also feel guilty for wanting to read other books. Lilac
Girls by Martha Hall Kelly is one I have been dying to get my hands
on. But it’s not Christmas. So I’m constantly struggling between getting
in my Christmas books, while still making time for others. And really, making time for any reading other
than books that have gripped me to the very core of my existence is hard during
this stressful – I mean magically giving and wonderful, time of year.
So, what’s in
your Holiday To-Read Pile this season? And why?
