Christmas Stocking Book Tag Blogmas 2026

Happy Thursday, y’all! Can you believe it’s the last Thursday of July? Yikes! This week, I’m doing a Christmas stocking book tag I found over at ZeZee With Books. It felt like the perfect tag this close to Christmas. Who’s ready to open their stocking?

Like my other book tags this month, I will focus on books I read in 2025. All book titles will take you to Goodreads.

When you get up on Christmas morning, your stocking is full! You take it down and start to unwrap the treats inside.

The first thing you see is an orange!

Which book is refreshing and vibrant, both inside and out?

Next is a bag of chocolate coins. (Yum)

Which book have you recently bought that was a little expensive but worth the price?

You also pull out a bath bomb.

Tell us about a book that had explosive action scenes.

Next is a pack of playing cards.

Which series won you over?

You also get a candle.

Which character is a symbol of hope in their story?

There are socks inside, too.

Is there a book that you think really encompasses all the distinctive tropes of its genre?

There’s also a notebook.

Which author’s writing process do you find most interesting/inspiring?

To go with the notebook, there’s a fancy pen.

Is there a book or a series that you’d change if you’d written it yourself?

There’s also a small bedside clock.

Which book took you a long time to pick up but was worth it in the end?

You reach in to pull out the last gift, and it’s… a lump of coal? You’re a little disappointed. But you look closer and realize there’s a seam running through the coal. You crack it open, and a tiny golden gem sits inside.

Tell us about a book that surprised you in some way.

That’s the Christmas Stocking Book Tag. Consider yourself tagged! I want to know your answers.
