I was feeling excited about next year's #bookspin challenge, so I decided to make my January list (complete with glittery winter stickers 😆❄🐧)
Book spin is the only reading challenge I'm doing because I feel like I need a year where reading is just for fun & not about completing a big goal.
I chose books from a metal cart I have stuffed full of children's classics and some vintage books.
Thanks for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks
pickIllustrated by Adrienne Adams, this is a very sweet story of a doll and her girl finding each other, and so much more. I‘ve had this copy forever but never read it. By great coincidence I chose to read this today, which turned out to be Rumer Godden‘s birthday.

Ivy, Holly, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones all have one Christmas wish. Ivy, an orphan, wishes for a real home and sets out in search of the grandmother she's sure she can find. Holly, a doll, wishes for a child to bring her to life. And the Joneses wish more than anything for a son or daughter to share their holiday. Can all three wishes come true?
I think the holly berries look #cranberryred - one of my favorites that I read to the kiddos every year.

pick#HollyJollyReading Day 8: “The Story of #Holly & Ivy” is a story of quiet wishes, the magic of a prickle, and finding a home for Christmas. It is also a reminder of how we should be grateful for things that we usually take for granted: the warmth of a fire, breakfast lovingly prepared for you as you wake up on Christmas Day, and the simple sense of belonging & knowing you are where you should be.

Merry Christmas Littens! From my family to yours!🎄🎁❤️ #ChristmasMorning #BookNerd 📚❤️

Playing catch-up again and I‘m still fixating on kids books! This is my favourite Christmas kids story and #cold made me think of little orphan Ivy who has to find shelter overnight in the wintry town where she has been looking/wishing for a grandmother. I think she stays warm by sheltering near a bakery with a hot oven 🤔 Anyway as a child I wished for the doll Holly from this book so hard. Beautiful illustrations 😍
This was my favorite 😍 #Christmas 🎄 book growing up 😊❤️ #HollyAndIvy #SizzlinSummerBooks #BookNerd 📚💙
I reread this #picturebook every Christmas.#readingwomenmonth
pickSome day I will make it through reading this book to my kiddos without crying. This was not that day. "Those are happy tears, right mom?" Love this story.

Christmas is nearly upon us!! I am frankly a bit tired of the "can I open a present today?" question every day so I can't wait for Christmas! What are some of your favourite Christmassy reads?

I was actually searching google to see if I could find that elusive Christmas book I mentioned the other day. One of my favourite carols (that was in this book) is The Holly and the Ivy. I then stumbled across this cute book!
Although I have not read this, it sounds like a sweet Christmas story about a little orphan girl and a doll who wants a child of her own to take care of her. Definitely on my #tbr 💕
This was my favorite Christmas book as a child. I still read it every year. I am giving a copy to my niece this year hoping she loves it as much as I did at her age.
