Bookish Links- December 2021

Christianbook.com's cyber sale... Up to 88% off! 

I saw something very similar to this fake stack of Christmas books last December and decided to make some for myself. I didn't. 🤷🏼

It's a beautiful night to turn on an audio book (or a good book podcast?) and sip hot cocoa between satisfying puzzle piece clicks, no? A few bookish puzzles- Jane Austen // The cutest bookstore // Classics (even though it prominently features my book enemy, Catcher in the Rye) // A Christmas Carol // classic Christmas children's books 

And if you're in need of a new mug for that cozy puzzle night- A Christmas Carol // The Nutcracker // 'Twas the Night Before Christmas // The Grinch who Stole Christmas // All I Want for Christmas is Books // and for good measure, a second All I Want for Christmas is Books 

Blast from the past: Christmas picture books we loved in 2017 // last year's Christmas episode on the podcast 

Where are my crafters? How about a DIY book ornament tutorial? 

One of the December activities on my list is a Nutcracker viewing party! We'll read our favorite version of The Nutcracker and watch the movie version... And maybe I'll go above and beyond a la this Pinterest board! 

Christmassy Christian romance novels 

I always wanted to take my kids to Storybook Island but goodness, how fun does it look at Christmas?!
