My December TBR

I had to put a December TBR list together for a reading challenge I'm participating in, so I thought I'd share it here, too.

I'm a mood reader, and never actually stick to a set TBR. I may have a couple of books I'm hoping to read next at any given time, but generally, I just choose my next read as I go along. December's always a little different, though, as I like to read lots of festive books instead of my usual favourite genres to get myself into the Christmas spirit, and I've actually been looking into new Christmas books to read this year so I'm not just left rereading all my old ones. 

What I've come up with is a TBR that is more a list of potentials, than something set in stone.

There are books I 100% plan on reading, like Holly, and A Court of Frost and Starlight; some I own and would like to squeeze in, like The Penguin Book of Christmas Stories, and A German Christmas; some I don't yet have a copy of but might pick up, like Let it Snow, and I Found Christmas Lights Slithering Up My Street; and a handful of non-festive reads to act as palette-cleansers when I need a break from good old-fashioned Christmas morals, and over-bearing romances in the snow, such as Brimstone, and Two Twisted Crowns. There are more I couldn't fit on the graphic, too.

I've already started Holly and A Heart for Christmas, and also picked up The Gingerbread Bakery, and Good Spirits from The Works last week. The latter three are not my usual kind of thing, but I thought I'd give them a try, anyway. I've also had The Penguin Book of Christmas Stories and The Bear and the Nightingale unread on my shelf for years, and started but never finished A German Christmas two Christmases ago, so I'd love to get to them this year.

As for audiobooks, I currently have no idea what I'm going to listen to yet, but hope I find some inspiration along the way. I'll probably end up rereading some old favourites, but hope to discover some new stories to enjoy, too.

So, that's my list of December hopefuls. What's on your December TBR list? 

Can you recommend any good festive or wintry reads?
