A Christmas Carol

The wait is over! Our holiday mystery book is Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol—the perfect bridge as we close our journey through the evolution of American literature, especially since Dickens influenced and intersected with nearly every author and work we explored in 2026.

And in 2027, we’re jumping the pond! Join us as we explore classic literature from across the British Empire, with a special focus on works published before 1900.

Behind every great literary work there is a rich history and a story behind the story. The Tufted Titmouse Book Club Book Boxes brings this rich history to life by uncovering and sharing what inspired the author while also placing the book into historic context. Each box is a product of hours of archival research, visiting historical sites, and falling into too many rabbit holes. 

There is both an adult and teen & young readers subscription box. 

The Adult: There will be six boxes each year. They will be mailed in February, April, June, August, October, and December. 

The Teens & Young Adults: There will be four boxes each year. They will be mailed in January, April, July, October. Each of the teen & young readers boxes will correlate with the adult boxes. For example: If the December book is Little Women for the Adults, then the January book for the teens and young readers will also be Little Women. Gifts will facilitate learning and will be age appropriate. 

The hope is to create memories and experiences centered around a story for parents and children to share! 

What is in each box: 

  • A beautiful collectible edition of the book.
  • A supplemental reading guide that provides historical context, facts about the book and author, and book club questions for you to lead your own reading group.
  • 2- 3 thoughtfully curated open as you read gifts to provide a multi-sensory reading experience. 
  • A well researched travel itinerary of places to visit that are connected with either the book or the author.
