12 Days of Christmas Book Tag

I always try to come up with creative holiday posts to do in December, and so I was delighted to stumble upon this Christmas-themed book tag. I found it at The Sassy Book Geek, and the original tag maker is Lizzie Loves Books on BookTube.



Partridge in a Pear Tree - Favorite Standalone

Obviously, I had to choose an Emma Mills book.


Two Turtle Doves - Your OTP


Anne and Gilbert



Three French Hens - Best Trilogy

This answer is a bit traditionalist, but it's such a strong trilogy.



Four Calling Birds - Best Series with 4+ Books

I have read a surprising lack of long series that I'd put up for this category. Thankfully, Kendare Blake's Three Dark Crowns counts.
 



Five Golden Rings - Favorite Villain/Antagonist
The Emperor from The Winner's Curse trilogy


Six Geese-a-Laying - Favorite World/Worldbuilding

Dark of the West



Seven Swans-a-Swimming - Favorite Animal Sidekick

I feel like I don't read a lot of books with actual animal sidekicks. Murphy from Second Chance Summer should count, though.



Eight Maids-a-Milking - Book with Best Food Descriptions




Nine Ladies Dancing - Favorite Female Lead
I did this category and the next specifically for 2019 releases.

Jo - The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee



Ten Lords-a-Leaping - Favorite Leading Lad

Nasir - We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal




Eleven Pipers Piping - Favorite Book with Musical Influence




Twelve Drummers Drumming - Favorite Read of 2019
I tried really hard to only pick one Emma Mills novel for this list, but I am powerless against my own reading tastes.
