Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a freebie so no set theme. I am choosing to do Christmas books that remind me of songs. The first five are books that I have read (or at least started to read) and the next five are books that remind me of my favourite Christmas songs.
Last Christmas by Clare Swatman - I started this right near Christmas last year but never finished it. I will try again this year because the concept was interesting.
So This is Christmas by Helen Rolfe - Christmas in Vienna! Yes please! (my review)
Will You Stay Another Day? by Samantha Tonge - I read this book earlier this year. (my review)
Someone Like You by Sandy Barker - This one is set in both London and Seattle! (my review)
A Skye Full of Stars by Sue Moorcroft - This was the second book in the Skye Sisters trilogy set on the Isle of Skye in Scotland (my review)
Let it Snow by Beth Moran - Beth Moran has a lot of books that have Christmassy titles!
How to Make Gravy by Paul Kelly - This might not sound or look very Christmassy but How to Make Gravy is a classic Australian Christmas song. There is even a Gravy Day on December 21 and last year they made a movie of the story in the song. I have included the video below if you want to take a listen.
Driving Home for Christmas by Emma Hannigan - Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea is one of my absolute favourites!
All We Want For Christmas by Phillipa Ashley - Phillipa Ashley is another British author who has lots o Christmassy titles
I'll Be Home for Christmas by Linda Lael Miller, Catherine Mulvany, Julie Leto and Roxanne St. Claire - Another favourite song. This book is an anthology featuring four short stories.
Do you have any books with titles that remind you of Christmas songs? Or favourite Christmas songs that you would love to see as a book title?

The book covers are all very festive and Christmas-y. I like Driving Home for Christmas. And I also listened to the Gravy song .... ha. I didn't realize it was a classic there ... but after all -- who is going to make the gravy?!
ReplyDeleteNot only is it a song now, it is also a book and a movie! I must watch the movie this year!
DeleteNow I’m going to have Last Christmas stuck in my head all night! Fun theme though, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday
You are welcome!
DeleteA great collection of books! I'll have to check out How to Make Gravy, it sounds like a wonderful quirky song.

An Australian Christmas classic! I also love White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin!
DeleteWhat a lovely choice for this week's Top Ten. I always think of carols at Christmas and hymns too. So many favourites but I can't think of any books that remind me of them - there must be some.
ReplyDeleteThere will be lots I am sure Margaret!
DeleteYes I admit I saw the title 'How To Make Gravy' and thought what?? Thanks for including the video - enjoyed watching that.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine for this week: https://portobellobookblog.com/2025/12/02/top-ten-tuesday-2nd-december-ten-book-group-reads-toptentuesday-amreading-bookrecommendations-tuesdaybookblog-booksky-%f0%9f%92%99%f0%9f%93%9a/
Let it Snow reminds me of the Boyz II Men song by the same name, but I’m sure that’s what you were going for. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any, but this was such a great idea of posts!
ReplyDeleteHere is mine, I have done that for several years for the December freebie: https://wordsandpeace.com/2025/12/02/top-ten-2025-books-with-one-word-titles/
I love this!! And I literally can't read the words Last Christmas without singing them. Lol.
ReplyDeleteThose titles remind me of songs too!
ReplyDeleteI did something similar this week - book titles based on Christmas carols. I also recommend You Make It Feel Like Christmas by Toni Shiloh :) My TTT
ReplyDeleteFabulous work idea for a post! 🎄 ~ Carol @ ReadingLadies
