The Twelve Days of Christmas // Tag

With Christmas now only a few days away, what could be more appropriate than a fun, festive-filled tag?!

The Twelve Days of Christmas Book Tag is based on the song of the same name and the aim is to select a book that fits the theme of each line of the song.

So without further ado (and with very little context), let's commence! 

The Twelve Days of Christmas Book Tag was originally created by Ashley @ Falling Down the Book Hole and I was tagged by Dinara @ Dinara Tengri.
