Christmas Reading Challenge and Freebies

This December, I’ve decided to take on the Tinsel and Tales Readathon. I currently have several non-Christmasy books going, but maybe I can finish those up to fit in these nine.

Tinsel & Tales Readathon

Here are some of the books I’ve decided on for the challenge. I haven’t chosen a book for all the categories yet. I’ll come back and edit this post when I do. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

A note about the book and movie combo: To choose this title, I went to Redeem TV (a FREE streaming service) and browsed the Christmas movies. Then, I checked to see which movies were based on books that are readily available. Christmas Oranges is a picture book (so it will be quick to read) available to borrow for FREE at Archive.org. I haven’t yet read the book or watched the movie, but I’m looking forward to it. I enjoyed both the book and the movie. The movie did a nice job of expanding on the book. It is a sweet, family-friendly Christmas story. The movie has some tense and sad moments (but with a happy ending, of course), so it’s probably best for older children.

Christmas Freebies

As is my tradition during December, I want to share some interesting-looking titles that are currently FREE to download on Kindle. Sadly, Amazon no longer makes it convenient to share images, so this will just be a list of titles. Books were free when I posted them, and I will try to keep this list updated throughout the month, but be sure to check the price before you “buy.” I have not read most of these books, but I have tried to select titles that are inspirational and/or clean reads.

Have you read any of these books? Any others to recommend? Please let me know in the comments!
