Ever wondered what would happen if Christmas magic collided with rodent tyranny? E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” gives you just that.

Ah, the holidays—a season replete with traditions we barely tolerate. Enter Christina Lauren’s In a Holidaze: a rom-com with a Groundhog Day twist. Think Groundhog Day but with more snow and fewer Bill Murrays. Whether it’s Mae’s romantic woes with Andrew or the redundant time loop, Lauren’s witty prose keeps it engaging.

From a chain-rattling Jacob Marley to the parade of Past, Present, and Future Ghosts—a motley crew that’d give any intervention team a run for its money—this tale of redemption delivers holiday spirit like no other. Grab your festive hat, because Dickens’ brilliant writing and timeless characters are set to charm and delight you once more.
