Great Christmas Books | Recommendations

[@aliceshupe1722]

Glad to see you back Katie! Did you see our Sheep in a Tree set to go w the Pick a Pine Tree book? Beautiful book. I agree that it will become a classic!

This comment is completely unrelated to books, but I just have to say how amazed I am at just how much Marigold looks like your husband. I realize that he is her father, but the resemblance is so strong. Otherwise, I very much enjoyed watching a video from you. :) Happy Holidays with your loved ones!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

I know it! There is NO DOUBT who her father is 😂! All my babies have come out looking like the spitting image of their dad. They start to look a little more like me as time goes on. 💗

[@RaineyDayReads]

I’m so happy you’re back! I’ll definitely put these books on my next year Christmas list!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

Yay! Knowing you loved the Betsy Tacy books this year, I think you’d definitely enjoy Christmas with Anne!!

[@jsscraphappy]

Good to see you back! I loved Winter Solstice and will check out The Winter Street books. Merry Christmas! Marigold is really cute!

[@BernasBookishAdventures]

I am so glad you are back with all your sincerity with your family life. Thanks for the recommendations.

[@efthygat6763]

I love all your recommendations! Great Joy by Cate di Camillo is one of my favourite Christmas children-books, I own it in my language (greek) and I read it every year to my pupils! I agree, the art in this book is stunning! I feel you with the cough! I have had one too for almost two months (the remnants of a pharyngitis)! And it isn't just me, viruses and bugs are crazy these days! I wish you to have a great New Year you and your beautiful family, happy to see you back!

Yay! A new Katie video! I read Mr. Dickens last year on your recommendation and I loved it! 😍 Goldie is the sweetest!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

Jenna!! I didn’t know you read Mr Dickens last year! It is a great holiday read!

[@krissyn.3366]

Ah! A video every week?! Lovely recommendations! I loved all three Matt Haig books and Mr. Dickens and His Carol. Merry Christmas to you and your family! 💗📚

Merry Christmas, Krissy!! Is 2020 going to be the year for your booktube channel??

[@krissyn.3366]

@@LifeBetweenWords1 Lol! I hope so!

Welcome back Katie!

[@theresas709]

Christmas actually just started on Christmas eve. I tell people Merry Christmas until, at least, the Epiphany. I read Christmas well into January so pick up one of these books people! :) So, So glad to see you back Katie. She is so cute.

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

You’re absolutely right!! There’s a reason it’s the TWELVE days of Christmas! I recently heard someone ask why the song says theirs twelve days. :)

[@theresas709]

So many think Christmas is over as soon as they open their gifts. I have so much to do on Christmas that my husband and I save some of the gifts under the tree to open a day or two after. (I do a lot of the Christmas dinner so that takes up some time) We consider all that time a celebration and lights are on every day till mid January.

[@Yesica1993]

OH! I did not know this book by Kate DiCamillo! I adore her books! Every time I go to the bookstore I look to see if there's anything new. Ha, she looked SO mad! Babies are hilarious. I wish they could speak at that age. Or... maybe not. They'd probably be telling us off for one reason or another. Fox is so grown up! Hope to see Wilder at some point as well.

[@EmmyEliz1]

I have Winter Street sitting on my table right now to get to soon! Some of her books I have not liked though☹

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

I haven’t read any of her other books! And I’m not sure I’d like all of them either. These ones seem to work for me! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@EmmyEliz1]

@@LifeBetweenWords1 So far Nantucket Nights is the only one I've like, I have read 3 of hers I think.

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

EmmyEliz1 can you pinpoint what you didn’t like? I’d love to know!

[@EmmyEliz1]

@@LifeBetweenWords1 Sometimes it seems like the story drags on. Right now im trying to finish Here's To Us and everyone argues throughout the book. Multiple narrators I am not always a fan of either.

[@Yesica1993]

Your kids have the best names! In keeping with the nature-y theme, I see? I've never known anyone named Marigold. It's so pretty!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

Yes thank you so much!! They are naturey. Someone also recently told me that they all have names that sound like they’re from a fairytale. Which was just about the best compliment! 🥰

[@greenlimabean]

Here's another great name. Fae or Faye which means fairy in old English. It's my daughter's middle name and I wish it were her first.

[@jessm2913]

Merry Christmas! Also can I say your amazing? I have a one year old and life is hectic I can't imagine with three!

[@callmeaftercoffee]

All of these sound so good! I barely read anything this month, so I'll probably roll December into January's wrapup haha 😂🙈 the holidays just get so busy

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

They do!! And you were hosting which was an added pressure! I’m trying to finish up two more books but I’m not reading much either so GOOD LUCK TO ME! 😂

[@shelleylawrence8397]

Ha! I just picked up Winter Solstice by Rosamund Pilcher from our bookshelf to read soon-ish, then watched your video! How crazy is that?

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

It was fortuitous!!

[@greenlimabean]

In the Town All Year Round is a picture book for adults and children. By Rotraut Suzanne Berner. You'll enjoy it for a long, long time

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

Thank you!

[@ashgarstin4307]

It's the twelve days of Christmas so it's fine!

[@LifeBetweenWords1]

Yes! Christmas is technically still happening until Epiphany!
