Hello friends! Happy Thursday! I swear to goodness, every day this week has either felt like Wednesday or Thursday (so glad tomorrow is Friday ๐)
Today I’m going to be doing the Jingle Bell Book Tag. I was tagged by Kristen @The Brunette Bookworm, thanks so much! Make sure to give Kristen a follow for all her fun bookish content! ๐
The Jingle Bell Book Tag was created by Richard at ย The Humpo Show. Each of the questions are based on Christmas songs or movies.
1. โAll I Want For Christmas Is Youโฆโ | What book do you want to see under the Christmas Tree?
I made a small list (as I do every year) but I think the book I want the most is The Umbrella Academy Vol. 1 (I do want to collect all 3). I used to have the original comics when they came out in 2007, but I haven’t the slightest clue where they went, so I’d love to collect these volumes. Plus the Netflix show is SO good!
2.ย โSimply Having A Wonderful Christmas Timeโฆโ | What book that you have read this year have you enjoyed the most?
Oof, that’s a hard one. Gosh. I want to say it’s a tie between You Know Me Well by: Nina LaCour & David Leviathan or Where Am I Now? by: Mara Wilson. Both books just spoke to me in ways that I wasn’t prepared for, but I loved it.
3.ย โItโs Beginning to look a lot like Christmasโฆโ | Which book has most festive look to it?
Oh, I’m sure there are so many festive looking books that I could pick from, but out of the books I own, there’s just something about the illustrated Harry Potter books that I find have this festive look to them. It could just be me, but I’m going with it.
4. Elf | What book unleashes your inner child?
Anything I read when I was a child! The first thing that came to mind was A Series of Unfortunate Events. Those books were my favourite growing up… I still want to re-read them for, gosh, the 6th time.
5. The Grinch | Your favourite villainโฆ
Honestly, this hasn’t changed much over the years… I still pick Voldemort, I still truly like him as a villain.
6. The Holiday | Name your favourite TWO couplesโฆ
Hmm, I sometimes wish I was more of a shipper because then answering questions like this would be so easy, but I just don’t find myself shipping people in books… am I alone in this? Please tell me I’m not?!?!
But to answer the question, I enjoyed when Don got together with Rosie in the Rosie Project, as much as they both were quirky, I liked it.
Oh, and I can’t forget Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood… yeah I went there… as much as I’m trying to steer away from that world, I do really like their relationship.
7. What book would you like to give as a present to your followers?
Oh geez, such a loaded question! Honestly, any book that makes you happy. If it was truly up to me I’d totally give everyone The Chalk Man by: C.J. Tudor… SO good… it’s THAT good that I feel like I talk about it in every tag… so yeah, read it!
I’m just going to tag a few of you as Christmas is almost here!!

Yeeeees! Thank you for tagging me!
I don’t ship as much as I used to! Not sure why. I love Don and Rosie, though! They’re really cute together!

They are suuuper cute! Even though I didn’t care a whole a lot for the last book, the first two were so good! ๐

The HP illustarted editions are beautiful and so festive! I love that the 4th one is mostly white-ish. Hopefully I’ll get it for Christmas to add to my collection ๐

Ooooohh I don’t have the 4th yet! I just got the third for my birthday, so I don’t expect to have the fourth until next year! But now I look forward to adding it to my collection! ๐

omg, the harry potter illustrated editions are the best, and they do look super festive! the illustrations in them are to die for and I can’t believe how skilled the illustrator must be! i think a series of unfortunate events also unleashes the inner child in me, bc that series was the highlight of my childhood. i would love to reread it and see what I think about it now actually!

I agree, the illustrations are incredible!
Haha, me too. I totally suggest re-reading a Series of Unfortunate Events I’ve re-read it twice since I was a kid, once when I was a teen and again in my early 20s… my opinion is still the same! I love them ๐

Awe! Thank you for tagging me in this! I just had time to work on some posts, so mine will be sometime in January ha-ha! I totally agree with the Harry Potter books as festive looking as well ๐ and my go to best villain is also Lord Voldemort … there aren’t many that stand out as well as he does in my opinion ha-ha!
Thank you again! I loved reading this post! โค
