25 Books for an Adult Book Advent Calendar
'Tis the season and we're barreling through it. Before you know it, Christmas will be here and we'll all be posting our end-of-year reading wrap-ups. In amongst all the snow, cold weather, warm blankets, hot cocoa, and good feelings is the wonderful Advent season. Whether you celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday or not, this time of year brings on those vibes of grace and warmth, and everyone is welcome to participate in the joy of the season.
In the interest of bringing us all together in this final season of the year, I've made a list of 25 books for an adult bookish advent calendar. You can create this calendar for yourself or a loved one, or maybe even put it together for your book club.
