I want to get a mini reading list going for myself ahead of time, especially since I keep getting burned with library wait times for requested books.
I’m looking for books that give off winter/Christmas vibes. The plot doesn’t NECESSARILY need to center around Christmas, it can just have that sort of ~ambience~. I don’t want any Hallmark-movie romance novels.
I especially like mysteries and thrillers, so if you have a book that’s like the episode “Murder Under the Mistletoe” from Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, you get bonus points!
