Happy Tuesday y’all! This week Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl was kind enough to give us a holiday freebie for today’s topic. I had a couple of ideas for this, one of which I may do in a couple of weeks. The one I am sharing with you this week is a list of holiday books that don’t mention the holidays in their title.
The image will take you to Amazon for each book, and the title will take you to Goodreads. They are sorted by genre. Not all of the books are set at Christmas; some take place around New Year’s Day. A couple of these may surprise you, as they did me. But I don’t think you could go wrong with any of these!

- Cheddar Off Dead by Julia Buckley
- Deck the Hounds by David Rosenfelt
- Jingle Bell Bark by Laurien Berenson
- A Toast to Murder by Allyson K. Abbott

I might have clicked A Toast to Murder because that cracked me up. Awesome list!
Fun! MR. DICKENS AND HIS CAROL is on my list today, too, as it’s one I’m hoping to get to before the year is out. We’ll see how it goes. Cozy mystery titles always make me laugh—CHEDDAR OFF DEAD is a great one!
Happy TTT!

This is a really unique idea for a list! I adore a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens so I’m definitely going to be checking out the two retellings of this title 📚❤️X x x
I love David Rosenfelt and Fern Michaels! Great list that’s given me plenty of ideas for new titles when I head over to the library later today! Thanks for sharing!

What a fun topic! Now you have me thinking about what books I know like this. One that popped into my mind was Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey and then The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese.
I will have to check those out.
Wow, you came up with a lot of answers for this prompt. How long did it take to find them all?
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
They all came from my Goodreads read and want to read lists. So not that long.
Ooh creative way of doing a holiday books list!

I love the titles for those mysteries so much! 🙂
Such a great post, thanks for sharing! https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/12/top-ten-tuesday-free-little-library.html
Very fun list! I have Mutts & Mistletoe on my TTT list this week, too. And I love the mystery titles. Deck the Hounds….too funny. 😀
This is a fun list to curate! Nice post!
What an interesting twist on this week’s topic!
Ooh fun. I love the look of the abbott book (cozies sometimes call out to me, especially holiday cozies) and The cranberry Inn- just love that title. 🙂
Such a fun post. I love the titles of those cozy mysteries. 🙂
What a cute idea for Top Ten this week Jodie!
I can never read a list of cozy mystery titles without chuckling.
This is a great list. I’m especially interested in any book with a dog on the cover:-)
These all look like fun reads. I love retellings, so I’m going to see if my library has any of them.
Thanks for visiting my blog
