πŸŽ… "She is the best-kept Christmas secret of all,' whispered Santa Claus. 'Which is surprising, because she is so powerful that Christmas itself would not exist without her. She is older than time itself, yet still as young as tomorrow. She is known only as the Winter Witch." ❄ β€’ What are you currently reading? πŸ“– β€’ Earlier in the week I finally read The Christmasaurus And The Winter Witch by Tom Fletcher, and while I didnt enjoy it as much as the first book, it was still a really enjoyable read 😁 I am actually really enjoying reading Christmas books this year, a lot more then I have for a few years now and I am very happy about it ❀ β€’ Blogmas day 7 is a full book review for The Christmasaurus And The Winter Witch (link in my bio)! πŸ‘πŸ» ~ ~ ~ #book #read #reading #bookworm #nerd #bookish #bookstagram #pretty #beautiful #stunning #happy #love #fiction #photo #photography #christmas #festive #xmas #blogmas #recentlyread #thechristmasaurusandthewinterwitch #thechristmasaurus #tomfletcher
