Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! As my last video before Christmas here is a festive book tag. Thanks for all your support throughout the year.
The Christmas Traditions Book Tag was created by Heather @readingwithavengeance (original tag youtube.com/watch?v=iP9GYyeEVAU) and I came across on Charlotte @CoynieReads' channel youtube.com/watch?v=CrNOM_Zv788
I missed filming for the 11th Prompt for a book I like that no one else seems to – I had picked The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman, the second book in the Book of Dust trilogy. The relationship between Lyra and Panteleimon is controversial and the book is a bit confusing but I think there’s so much in it to think about.
PROMPTS
Christmas is a time of reflection of the past year and looking ahead to the New Year. So book selections can be one you’ve read this past year or one you look forward to for next year.
- *Red, Gold & Green colors*: A book with any combination of those colors on the cover.
- *Carol Singing*: What is your favorite Christmas Carol? Pick a book with a title that includes word from that song title.
- *Christmas Trees, Wreaths & Evergreen Foliage*: A book that features nature as a character?
- *Sending Cards*: A favorite epistolary book you read this year or want to read next year?
- *Mistletoe*: A book that features unrequited love?
- *Santa Claus*: A book that features a character who's not really likable, but endearing anyway.
- *Nativity scenes*: A family-based historical fiction? *Elf on a Shelf*: A book on your shelf that catches your eye all the time, but you never pick it up?
- *Christmas Movies*: Favorite adaptation or a book you would like to see adapted?
- *Ugly Sweaters*: A book that made you laugh out loud.
- *Eggnog*: A book you love that everyone seems to hate or vice versa?
- *Exchanging gifts*: A book you read this year and thought, “this would be perfect for …”
