Review: The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss
Unless you have been living under a rock, this book has been just about everywhere. At least on my social media it has been! Its seems like everyone has been reading this one and raving about it. So needless to say, in all my holiday reading I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I thought for sure this was going to be a book that I would breeze through and it would leave me feeling all full of Christmas cheer and happiness. But instead this one left me feeling a little like a Scrooge. I didn’t love it. It wasn’t awful but it definitely wouldn’t have been my pick for…

Special Feature: Boone (Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas #3) by Emily March
Emily March has a large fan following and her series, Eternity Springs, is probably her most popular, but this little spin off series, The McBrides of Texas, has been receiving a lot of praise. The third book in that particular series, Boone, is out now and I couldn’t be more excited to share a little about this book with you all! Emily March is a very prolific romance writer and there seems to be a little something for every reader when it comes to her books—small town romance, holiday romance, cowboy romance. When I see writers with many books and fans, it’s clear to me that they are doing something…

Special Feature: Chilled to the Cone (A Bakeshop Mystery #12) by Ellie Alexander
Cozy mystery fans be on the look out for this upcoming installment of a charming series out tomorrow! I have adored many of Ellie Alexander’s books including this series! I have skipped around a bit in it but I have always felt more of less up to speed with the characters. I especially love all the baking elements and the fact that she is an Oregon author and this series is set in Ashland Oregon, only makes me all the more excited for it! As I mentioned this one is out tomorrow so you don’t want to miss it! Even if you aren’t fully caught up in the series (like…

Review: Christmas in Harmony Harbor (Harmony Harbor #9) by Debbie Mason
I picked up this book for a couple of reasons. One, I was looking for all the holiday romances I could get my hands on, two I say that RaeAnne Thayne recommended this book, and third it had an adorable dog on the cover. I was super excited to check it out. I love enemies to lovers troupes and this one sounded like it had a little bit of a You’ve Got Mail vibe going on so I was obviously looking forward to something like this to help get me in the Christmas spirit. I noticed that it was part of a series but I also know that often in…

Review: Christmas at Holiday House by RaeAnne Thayne
RaeAnne Thayne was an author that I didn’t think I was going to like when I picked up one of her books for the very first time. The cover reminded me of something that my grandma might read…..a small town country romance with cliche characters. After reading the first book by Thayne, I fell in love with her books and have read a number of them since the first one! I especially love her holiday romances. JOLLY. GOOD. I have devoured them in single sittings and this book was no different. This one is a standalone so I was really really excited to check it out and I absolutely fell…

Review: The Girl from Widow Hills by Megan Miranda (Audible Edition)
For the month of December, my book club decided to read this book and I had seen a lot of reviews about this one and was super excited to check it out. I have never read anything by this author before but I have seen a number of her books and often thought about picking them up to see what all the buzz was about, but then for some reason fell back to other authors that I knew or had read before. Well after reading this one, Megan Miranda will be an author I read more often. This was a great read and I was often sitting there wondering what…

Review: In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
This book was my December Book of the Month and I couldn’t wait to read it. I cleared my December reading calendar so I could enjoy all the holiday books this year and this one was top on my list! I have never read anything by Christina Lauren but I am about to buy all her books! Holiday rom-coms are my one of my weaknesses. I mean, I used to mock my friends who watch all the Hallmark holiday movies, but then I watched one and now I secretly stayed up late to sneak in a couple during the holiday season…..plus I may or may not have watched Love Actually…

Review: The Garden of Promises and Lies (Found Things #3) by Paula Brackston
It’s been a hot minute since I read one of Paula Brackston’s novels. I have read almost all of her books though and I have loved many many many of the stories. This novel is the third in her Found Things series which I have really enjoyed thus far. I was so excited to see that this one was coming out this month and while I tried to keep my calendar open for all the Christmas books this month, I made an exception for this one and added it to my December calendar because I simply love her books! If you love historical fiction with some time travel and paranormal/magic…

Take Two Review: Christmas in Vermont by Anita Hughes
Sometimes I accidentally pick up a book I have already read and don’t realize it until I am part way through. I picked this one up again because I adored the cover and I am all about the holiday romances right now and I know that I love Anita Hughes so I grabbed this one and about a third of the way through I was like wait, this sounds familiar? I checked my Goodreads and sure enough there it was….I read it last year! But I was enjoying it just as much this second time around so I just kept right on reading! I am so glad I got to…
