Happy Thursday, y’all! It’s been ages since I’ve done a book tag. I thought Blogmas in July would be a great time to start again, especially when I found this book tag at Books Are 42. Book tags are typically quick question-and-answer posts; what’s not to love about that, especially during the busy holiday season? Five holiday drinks compared to five books I’ve read? Sure thing! Who’s curious about the holiday drinks book tag: Blogmas 2026 edition?
I am using only books I read in 2025 for my answers. All titles will take you to the book’s Goodreads page.
So, let’s check out my holiday drinks book tag: Blogmas 2026 edition.
