Welcome to Tuesday Book Chat. This is where we encourage book lovers to answer our bookish question of the week.
Today’s question is:
Do you enjoy reading Christmas novels?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Please join in the conversation by commenting on this post or on the blog post shared in our Australasian Christian Writers Facebook Group.
Let’s chat!
Simple answer Yes. I can remember when Barbour first brought out the Christmas novella’s I loved them and looked forward to them. I can remember reading them on bus trips to the city. I still love reading Christmas stories.
Your turn.
I look forward to reading your comments here or at the FB group. I will be late replying as have a trip to the city today.
And don’t forget: if you’d like to participate in our weekly Book Chat by posting the question and your answer on your blog, drop us an email via our Contact page and we’ll send you the list of questions for 2021.
I love reading Christmas novels and watching Christmas movies. I usually don’t start until 1 December, but this year I started in October because I needed something to lift my spirits during lockdown. Remembering why we really celebrate Christmas tends to do that for me. Problem is, I’m fast running out because I watched most movies twice now and read almost all of my Christmas books. I’m thinking I need to visit my local library soon!
Channel 9 is doing midday Christmas movies at present. I got Amazon Prime (if you don’t have it you can get a one month free trial) and watching Christmas movies there.
A trip to the library is always good too. There are a few free novels on Amazon right now. I just got one today.

Yes!! I buy a new supply each year and save them to read in December. I also read some old favourites as well. There are some Christmas books that I’ve read multiple years in a row.
As for Christmas movies, we’ve been watching one each week for several weeks now for our Friday night movie night. If you’re in Australia, Channel 7 has some good Hallmark Christmas movies on 7plus.
Hi Beth ACCTV also has some good ones and its a free Christian channel.
I don’t specifically choose Christmas themed novels but I do enjoy a good Christmas movie.
One of my favourite scenes from a Christmas novel is in Little Women when they gift their Christmas to a poor family. Brings tears every time.
I think these sorts of scenes are beautiful.
