Top Ten Tuesday: Top Holiday Reads


Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at the Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is your top ten favorite holiday reads.



I'm giving this my own little twist and listing my top ten Christmas mysteries. Here we go, in no particular order:



1. Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie


2. Tied up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh


3. The Twelve Deaths of Christmas by Marion Babson


4. The Christmas Crimes at Puzzle Manor by Simon Brett



5. The Christmas Night Murder by Lee Harris



6. Shrouds of Holly by Kate Kingsbury


7. A Christmas Visitor by Anne Perry


8. Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer


9. The Twelve Crimes of Christmas by Waugh, Greenberg & Asimov (eds)



10 "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Very creative list. I think you must love mysteries! Ha! (How did I guess?) My selections centered around books my family and I read aloud each year.

    Yes, I do love me some mysteries. I could have doubled the list of holiday-themed crimes....

    Oh my gosh, I did not know about some of these! I will have to check them out! I'm doing the Christmas Spirit Challenge, so I might manage to squeeze one in there. :D

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
