Christmas Song Book Tag

Original Tag by HailsHeartsNYC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CXZz...

Questions: 
1. "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch"
Name a villainous character you couldn't help but love.    

Gavriel from The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
A morally grey character with a sense of honor and humor

2. "All I Want for Christmas is You"
Which book to you most hope to see under your Christmas tree?

The new illustrated Harry Potter books
The illustrations are exquisite.

3. "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
Name a character that overcomes major obstacles and learns to believe in themselves.

Odilia from Summer of the Mariposas
I literally just finished reading this one.  The main character is a good female role model for teen girls, not because she is perfect, but because she grows.

4. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"
a) Which character do you think would be on the top of the naughty list?  

Rhys from A Court of Mist and Fury
Even though this second book tries to turn him into a saint, in my mind he is still a bit wicked.

b) Which character do you think would be at the top of the nice list?  

Gansey from The Raven Cycle series
Gansey is the definition of a nice guy.

5. "Frosty the Snowman"
Which book just melts your heart.  
Every Heart A Doorway 
I am not entirely sure this is my best answer but it definitely has a special place in my heart.  As soon as I read it I knew I had to own it.

6. "Feliz Navidad"
Choose a book that takes place in a country other than your own.  

The Girl Who Played with Fire
This is one of my favorite reads of 2017.

7. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"
Which holiday themed book do you use to spread the Christmas joy?   

A Christmas Carol
This is my all time forever favorite holiday tale.  I read, watch, listen in one form or another every year.  A ghost story for Christmas!

8. "Sleigh Ride"
Which fictional character would you choose to spend the holidays with (doesn't have to be a love interest!)  

The March Family from Little Women
I am dating myself with this one but it doesn't matter.   Before the Weasley's, the Beasleys, The Wards and The Bradys,  The March Family was my ideal.

9. "Baby it's Cold Outside"

Which book that you didn't like would you sacrifice to a fire to warm yourself up in the cold?  

Wolf Gift by Anne Rice 
Disclaimer:  I never finished this book.
It was so awful I just couldn't.

This is a Booktube tag but I thought it would be fun to try on the blog.  I intend to do more but this one fits the season at the moment.
