Top Ten Tuesday - Feeling Festive

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Feeling Festive!


Happy Tuesday! Let's be honest, I don't really read many books that qualify as atmospheric. I would have to dig pretty deep and feature books I have already featured for the same topic. Because of this, I am twisting it a bit and featuring books with a sort of atmosphere, one that is festive! Each of these books feature celebrations. Most are Christmas books, but others are weddings, Thanksgiving, and even the winter solstice. 

  1. Faking Christmas by Kerry Winfrey
  2. Bright Lights, Big Christmas by Mary Kay Andrews
  3. Secret Santa Face-Off by Victoria Denault
  4. Sister of the Bride by Lauren Morrill
  5. Emergency Contact by Lauren Layne, Anthony Ledonne


  1. The Christmas Orphans Club by Becca Freeman
  2. A December to Remember by Jenny Bayliss
  3. The Christmas Cafe by Eliza Evans
  4. A Winter in New York by Josie Silver
  5. The Takedown by Carlie Walker

  1. I like your spin on the topic! I've done the "atmospheric" topic too many times, so I just skipped TTT this week. You're more creative than me. :)

  2. I love that you went holiday atmosphere with this one! I wish I would have thought to do that. I loved LL's new book and it's perfect for this list.

  3. Great idea for going off topic and still staying in the same lane. I've been reading more and more Christmas books as we get closer and closer to the end of the year.

    1. The holidays are always a good time (especially when I don't have to do anything). Mostly Christmas, but there is a Thanksgiving and Winter Solstice celebration.
