Today’s Prompt: A Freebie!

I have decided since it is December and my mind is on the holiday season, I would devote today’s post to books that referenced gingerbread, even a little bit, because it is my very favorite Christmas cookie of all.

I am currently reading A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking and I am enjoying it so much. The gingerbread parts are not overwhelming but when they happen they are adorable.

I also have the Helen Oyeyemi book Gingerbread sitting here on my TBR pile next to my bed to be read this month. It sounds so fantastic!

Finally, The Gingerbread Queen, to round out the fantasy section! I have not read it but it sounds really fun!

Next up, the romance area! I have not read any of these, but they all sound like they would be great Christmas reads. If You Give a Jerk a Gingerbread particularly grabs my attention as it has big Bake Off vibes!

The Gingerbread House in Mistletoe Gardens and The Gingerbread Cafe are both grumpy sunshine romances, which are always good for some great back and forth banter. I mean, a book that deals with gingerbread can’t be too sweet after all.

I love Amanda Flower books and she has so many that I haven’t read yet, including her entire Amish Candy Shop series of cozy mysteries. I think I may have to try to squeeze this one in this December!

Bee Bakshi and the Gingerbread Sisters just looks so good. It is a middle grade, but that cover and the vibes – super creepy. I am definitely adding this one to my TBR.

Lily Fox and the Gingerbread Cookie. It looks like a very simple picture book about a fox following his nose to find the gingerbread that he can smell, but I just love the cover illustration. And, foxes, we all know I love them.

And finally, my son Wyatt’s contribution to the list today, his favorite gingerbread picture book, Gingerbread Pirates. it was pretty funny, I have to admit!

And that is it from me today! I can’t wait to see what everyone else chose! I also might need to go find a gingerbread latte somewhere…
