Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
This week’s Top Ten is a freebie, so I decided to share my 5 Star Christmas Books that I have read this season. All of these books were published in 2022. I actually have 12 listed as I gave them all 5 Stars.












Have you read any of these Holiday Books? Have you read any 2022 5 Star Christmas Books that I don’t have on this list?

Oooh, so many great holiday reads! And I haven’t read any of them yet. My TBR is about to grow! 😉

I love Christmas stories, they are usually so uplifting. I have read more this year than any other year, I think.

I haven’t read any of these books and the 5 star rating on them plus those beautiful covers make me want to go looking for them (my poor TBR!)..

I loved Resting Scrooge Face but I’ll have to check some of the others out too. Alaska for Christmas looks really cute, especially with those huskies on the cover. 😍 Great list, Carla!

I’ve heard such good things about Sarah Morgan’s Snowed in For Christmas. I really want to read that one. And RaeAnne Thayne’s book that you mention. These all sound perfect for this season. Thank you for sharing!

I’m going to make a note of these 5 star books. As much as we enjoy Christmas books, they tend to be 4 star books–good and worth the read, but not excellent.
