I wanted to do something Christmassy and simple and fun today since Christmas is less than a week away. A few years back, I did a Halloween book covers tag, so I thought I’d do one for this holiday too. My tags are chill, so if you want to join, the only rule is to give me credit by linking back to this post! Some of the topics are difficult, so if you want to skip them or replace them or do your own interpretation of them, go ahead. They don’t have to be Christmas books, I just happen to have a lot of those. Do it however you want, blogging should be about having fun!
I will also link to some reviews that I have, in case you want to know more about some of these books!
Baked Goods
Disarming Donner by Charlie Cochet – This is a really cute m/m series (a different couple in each book) about elves and other Christmas beings set in the North Pole, and the covers are all fun and cute. [ My Review ]
Lights
All I Want for Christmas is a Faerie Assassin?! by H. L. Mcfarlane – Another fun Christmas story, and this cover combines the urban fantasy style with Christmas so nicely! [ My Review ]
Red
Anna and the Apocalypse by Katharine Turner – This is such a pretty cover, despite the, uh, bloodied weapons. Didn’t love the book, but I do recommend the movie! (Though it did make me sad.)
Green
The Master Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg – I like these books, and they all have such nicely designed covers, each with a different accent color. [ My Review ]
Bonus: Red & Green
Robber Girl by S. T. Gibson – I wasn’t going to include a “red & green” category because it’s not a color combo you find often, but I just happened to see this one in an older post of mine and thought I’d share it since it’s such a pretty cover!
Snow
Black Snow by EAB – I just think this cover is gorgeous. Loved the story too. [ My Review ]
Snow Globe
Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones – I’ve always thought this cover was pretty.
Warm Drink
The Prince and the Troll by Rainbow Rowell – This was a hard topic, and this was the only cover I found for it, and luckily it’s a pretty one!
Music
Goldfinch Vol. 1 by Sam Bowen & Ari Pluchinsky – I cheated for this one because it was a hard topic. This isn’t a cover, but it was the Kickstarter promo image for the book! And I think it’s real pretty, and it has people singing and playing instruments on stage in the background with a really fun vibe.
Reindeer (Or Any Animal, If That’s Too Hard)
Foreign to You by Jeremy Martin – I wasn’t even going to include reindeer, but then I came across this one in an old post of mine as well and figured what the hay! (Get it? Hay? Reindeer probably eat hay, right?) Anyway, I’m not even sure if these are reindeer, but it’s close enough, and the cover is pretty.
Tree
Ever After by Riley Hart & Christina Lee – This is a cute cover (and a cute story set in a fantasy world, though without magic). I probably could’ve found something better for “tree,” but there are trees in the background, and they look like snow-covered Christmas trees, and I just like this cover, so I say it counts! [ My Review ]
Gifts
Scrudge & Barley, Inc. by John Inman – I feel like I always have to say, don’t let this cover fool you, this is actually a very touching book. But I also think the cover is very fun! [ My Review ]
Something Christmassy
Not Over Yet by Barbara Elsborg – Doesn’t get much more Christmassy than Santa!
I wanted to read some Christmasy books this season and I failed miserably. Oh well. 🙂 I can get in the spirit I guess through tags and posts like this! I love the idea of stories set at the North Pole, for some reason. I love the idea of a faerie assassin too…
Anna and the Apocalypse is a great cover.
Black Snow I think I remember.
Go wherever the reading mood takes you lol. Mine just takes me to Christmas books in December.
Anna and the Apoc has such a great simple but striking cover, and ugh I love the Black Snow cover and book so you prob do remember me talking about it a lot!
Ooh, I love that cover on Not Over Yet! I always love covers that look like wood carvings.
It does have a really cool design!
I think you did brilliantly to find covers to fit all these prompts. Kudos, Kit. 💚
Thanks, glad you like the covers too!
I liked the movie Anna and the Apocalypse.
i didn’t know about the Ripley Heart book. I’ve read a lot of her books (& her as Nyrae Dawn) I’ll have to look it up.
Karen @For What It’s Worth
I’m glad you liked the movie too!
I really don’t read a lot of Christmas type books but these look great.
I didn’t used to, but lately I’ve gotten into read Christmas books in December.
This is such a fun tag and I love Robber Girl’s cover! I’ll have to look through my books in the new year for these prompts
It was too pretty to pass up sharing!
