Holiday books aren’t just for the late fall. I read them on into January and beyond. In fact, we’ve all heard of Christmas in July, right? This list is long, but they are all on my Kindle, so I will eventually read each one of them. The books with a quick summary are the books I’ve read, so far. These are added to my list posted in November.
Take your
time. Enjoy the holiday throughout the year. And please jot down your favorite
holiday romances in the comments area, so we can all check them out.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season, no matter what holidays they celebrate. Happy New Year. And here is to a great 2023, with many more new books to choose from.
ENJOY!!!!!

I love the variety of books on your list, Delsora. It's good to remember there are lots of winter holidays.
Lynn
Wow! That's quite a list of Christmas books! Thanks for sharing!
Lynn and Diana - I tried to answer this earlier, but the site froze and lost my comment I love to find interesting books from different December holidays and in different genres. They were all fun to read, and many not in genres I usually read.
Thanks for the list! I love a good Christmas story and I can't wait to check them out!
Delsora, I'm always amazed at the holiday list your share every year. And these are not rereads! I can see how reading so many holiday romance books would be a boon and provide respite from the actual world around us. Thanks for your due diligence in putting this together. As for my list? I can't remember reading one new holiday themed book, romance or not. Maybe next year?
Beth - lots of fun ones this year. And as you can see, I still have a pile to read. Enjoy the holidays and see you in 2023!
Judith - it is always fun to search out holiday books that might be a bit different or for other holidays than Christmas. I always learn so much from reading books about Hannukah or other winter celebrations. I didn't get as many read as I had planned. But I figure I still have a few more winter months to enjoy holiday books. And as I mentioned, always fun to read holiday books in July - makes the summer heat bearable.
