1. "Midnights" by Rainbow Rowell
2. "The Lady and the Fox" by Kelly Link
3. "Angels in the Snow" by Matt de la Pena
4. "Polaris is Where You'll Find Me" by Jenny Han
5. "It's a Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown" by Stephanie Perkins
6. "Your Temporary Santa" by David Levithan
7. "Krampuslauf" by Holly Black
8. "What the Hell Have You Done, Sophie Roth?" by Gayle Forman
9. "Beer Buckets and Baby Jesus" by Myra McEntire
10. "Welcome to Christmas, CA" by Kiersten White
11. "Star of Bethlehem" by Ally Carter
12. "The Girl Who Woke the Dreamer" by Laini Taylor
Okay, but for real. This is such a fun book! The stories were so cute and fun to read, and they definitely got me into the holiday spirit. Yes, a couple of them were weird and confusing (as you can probably tell from the gifs). But overall, I really did enjoy reading this book as a whole.

Oh my gosh these Supernatural GIFs! They definitely align with what I thought of each story.
ReplyDeleteI was too lazy to write a review for each story so this was the best solution hahaha. I definitely stole the idea from Jennifer L. Armentrout...
DeleteHaha that's cool. I love Jennifer L. Armentrout!
DeleteThese GIFs are WONDERFUL and make we want to go on a Supernatural marathon right this second AND read these stories. Loved this XD
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes omg I'm obsessed with Supernatural GIFs!! They have a reaction for literally everything hahaha.
DeleteI've had this book for a year but I still haven't read it! Anyway, great review (loved the GIFs haha!)

Thanks! And yeah, it's kind of hard because there's a short time frame to read it if you want to read it during the holidays! I found time to read it this December, because I knew I would have to wait until next year to read it if I didn't...
