I have curated a list since my 2025 edition of this post of books I recommend for your Christmas reading adventures! As promised.
I have linked the original post where these books were originally discussed in my monthly wrap-ups so I will not be going into detail in this post since it’s already been done. If you have any questions, about these books or their content that’s not answered in my posts, just let me know in comments or through my contact page. The exception is anything read during the first two weeks of November prior to this posting that hasn’t been in a monthly recap yet – those I WILL give a small description on. 🙂
If you’re in the mood, or NEED to get in the mood, check out some of these!!
