A big part of the holidays for me is getting cozy by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. There is nothing like enjoying looking out the picture window and seeing the beautiful winter wonderland, knowing you don't have to go anywhere. Being all snuggly and warm, 'Hygge' as the Scandinavians say. Here are some Christmas-inspired books you might like to read over the holidays.
Christmas-Inspired Books To Read During The Holidays
Christmas On The Isle of Skye - Kirsty Ferry
The romantic holiday novel set on the magical Isle of Skye, Scotland is a fun read for all those romantics out there. Filled with the trials and tribulations of love, distance, and travel to the far reaches of Glastonbury.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and couldn't put it down! As well as being filled with a great story there are also interesting bits about the Isle of Skye and festivals that take place in Glastonbury.

This past Christmas (2024) I received Jenny Colgan's - Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe (2012). I was thrilled to recieve one of my favourite author's books for Christmas! One of two, the other book is called Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe (2011). Each book can be read as a stand alone story.
Issy Randell is the proud owner of the Cupcake Cafe, in love with her boyfriend Austin but with a possible move to New York on the cards, will it be a Merry Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe?
I couldn't put the book down, a fun, and sweet read but also filled with recipes including Gingerbread, Christmas Cherry Chocolate Biscuit Slice, The Classic Christmas Cake, Mince Pies, and of course Cupcakes! Looking forward to baking some of these seasonal family favourites.
