Counting down to the holidays is even better when there's a new book to unwrap every day and this Advent calendar makes the season extra special for readers.
As a book lover, I’m obsessed with this year's Mini Book Advent Calendar at Amazon. Instead of the usual chocolates or beauty products, you get 24 tiny books featuring literary classics like "Little Women," "Pride and Prejudice," "Jane Eyre," "A Christmas Carol" and more. It's such a fun way to revisit old favorites or discover a classic you've been meaning to read.
Whenever you’re ready to begin your holiday countdown, simply unwrap a new mini book every day. To finish on Christmas Eve, make sure to start on Dec. 1—though something tells me you won't be able to wait once you open this advent
calendar. The tiny books are almost too cute to handle! Featuring decorative covers and gold hanging strings, and once you are done reading each book you can hang them directly on your Christmas tree for an extra touch of bookish holiday magic.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for the bookworm in your life (or, let's be real, a pretty great way to treat yourself). If you love collecting books, discovering new stories or making your December mornings a little more exciting, this mini book Advent calendar is for you.
The best part? It's currently over 30% off on Amazon when you clip the digital coupon found on the product page. If you ask me, that's a pretty good deal for a book lover's dream Advent calendar.

What shoppers are saying about this adorable advent calendar
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My daughter shares my love of books, and with four children of her own, I love the example she sets for them. All four are readers, too! I purchased this Mini Book Advent Calendar for her for Christmas, but of course, I couldn't wait and gave it to her at the beginning of October! She absolutely loved it! The miniature books are such a fun and unique idea, and I can't wait to see them hanging on her Christmas tree. A wonderful gift for anyone who loves books!" — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I absolutely love this advent calendar! The entire thing is so cool and well made and would make the perfect gift for a book lover. The little books are so well made and you can actually thumb through the pages and read them, they are nice and strong and don't fall apart. With twenty four unique titles you get a huge variety of classics and it is the perfect amount for a small tree in a library. Overall for the quality and uniqueness of this advent I would say it is a great value for the price and I am giving it a solid five stars!" — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I am obsessed. If you were gifting this to someone I think you would be hard pressed to give it away. The cabinet has magnetic closure; how charming is that? The design on the cabinet adds to the overall feel and does a great job fitting in with how cool some of these modern advent calendars are. The doors open and there are shelves with a little red ribbon attached to carefully remove the books. Each book is packaged in a slender box with the number on it. You don’t get to see the books until the correct day. Inside is an excerpt from a famous book, which is packaged like the whole book. What I mean to say is it looks like “the whole book” but that would be impossible to have in this small of a package. You can read them and they have a gold cord bookmark sewn into the spine. Lots of details for a book lover." — Amazon customer review
