One of the best things the internet ever did was to introduce me to the holiday of Jólabókaflóðið.

Jólabókaflóðið (or Jolabokaflod) means “Christmas book flood” and is the Icelandic tradition of gifting and reading books on December 24 while drinking cocoa or non-alcoholic ale.

What follows is a list of my favorite Jolabokaflod reads. I hope you enjoy, and maybe even find a new favorite yourself.
