Here it goes:
God bless us, everyone.
Which I think means that Grant owes me a twenty.

pickI started this back in December because I want in the holiday spirit and wanted a Christmas read. But my reading slump and I stopped listening to the audiobook.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this. I didn't find it as funny as the original A Christmas Carol but it's an entertaining inspired by story. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Holly even though she was suppose to be a brat. I felt for her and was rooting for her throughout.
pickThis was a cute twist on A Christmas Carol. I struggled to like the main character, but the story was interesting enough that I wanted to see how it ended. And I liked the ending. 🎄 #christmasread

The first thing you should probably know is that Yvonne Worthington Chase was dead. It was all over the news when it happened, the entertainment shows, the newspapers, and magazines, even the trashy tabloids.

so-soHolly Chase, once an unrepentant Scrooge, now works as the Ghost of Christmas Past for Project Scrooge. After five years, their newest client may change things in a way Holly couldn‘t predict.
This was a clever play on the original story, but I found it difficult to like Holly & root for her. 1st chapter is unnecessary, & I could have done without the time skip. Some interesting twists, not all that I predicted, & fun side characters.🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
pickThis was an interesting spin on A Christmas Carol. Holly was visited by the 3 ghosts 5 years ago. Her future showed her death if she didn‘t change. Fast forward 5 years & a now dead Holly is the Ghost of Christmas Past for Project Scrooge. Her job is to help the chosen Scrooge change for the better. This is her 5th Scrooge, but this one gets personal.

pickThis was a fun take on the classic Christmas Carol story. Holly Chase was a failed teenage “Scrooge” before she becomes the Ghost of Christmas Past for a new Scrooge each year. Five years in things change and end up going in directions she, and the reader, could never expect. It was really sweet, although I didn‘t really like Holly as a person until the end. This is perfect reading for the holidays! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
My current read! Trying to catch up to #whimsicalreads and using this as the perfect excuse for some peppermint hot cocoa! ☕

pickThis was a great Christmas read. It was definitely a fascinating take on the story of A Christmas Carol. The ending definitely caught me by surprise. I would absolute recommend reading it this holiday season.

Overall I liked it. It kept me entertained, an easy read, and I enjoyed the story despite the predictably & plot holes.
Plus, it almost gave me a blackout bingo. Who knew in 2 holiday books that reindeer wouldn‘t be mentioned?! Minced pie, on the other hand, will probably be a bigger challenge.

so-soFunny story. I found this book by searching for books with Holly in the title ( my sister‘s name). I enjoyed reading this one, but it made me wonder if I was the Scrooge by the end because I wanted more answers than the book gave 😅🧐 #BookMusicPairing #ChristmasInJuly https://spoti.fi/3nLa2pU

pick🎧 This was a sweet, dumb, fun, fluff story. It was a surprising palate cleanser.
It‘s a contemporary spin on A Christmas Carol.
Scrooge is a 17 year old spoiled rich girl who dies & becomes the ghost of Christmas past.
Quick, easy YA read. #sharreadathon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3
pickThis has been on my radar for a long time but I've avoided it. Why? No idea because what a great story! I love A Christmas Carol and this is such a unique take on it. Not crazy about the ending though 🤔

pickThis was a funny and well narrated retelling of A Christmas Carol. I loved seeing Holly's POV and her developments. The pacing was fast and I liked how Ethans actions reflected on Holly. I loved how the original Christmas Carol elements were incorporated into this unique afterlife world. The ending was absolutely perfect, aside from the plot twists it was slightly predictable but still heartwarming and happy, such a good Christmas story!
pickThis was a great redemption front the last four books I read! I was hooked from the first page and never wanted to put it down. I loved the characters and noticed their steady growth throughout the book. I totally was not expecting any of the end twists, and because of the biggest one at the end I really wish the author was writing a sequel! 5🌟

Holly Chase is a rich teenager who is a simply horrible person. At the age of seventeen, she is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. Holly is, of course, familiar with A Christmas Carol and recognizes the gist – the three ghosts try to convince her to be a better person.

pickI know it isn‘t even Thanksgiving yet, but I love Christmas and this time of year. So yes I have brought out my Christmas books already and started reading them. I was looking for an upbeat non-lovey dovey book and this 5 ⭐️ read checked all the boxes. It is a modern teenage tale of the Christmas Carol that left me feeling in such a Christmas mood when it ended. If only I could get my husband to let me put up the tree already 🤣.
pickA charming and poignant Scrooge retelling that went to unexpected places. If it were a movie, I'd watch it every Christmas.
pickOne of my favorite books to read during the holidays
pickBeen meaning to read this for ages - glad I finally got around to it! Speculative teen Christmas fiction is I guess how I'd describe it. Teenage girl was a scrooge 5 years ago, but didn't reform and died. Now she's working at Project Scrooge as the ghost of Christmas past, but when another teenage scrooge comes along, and he happens to be cute, she falls for him. I find Cynthia Hand's writing to be so entertaining and fun, a good brain candy pick
pick5 stars. What creative story telling. If you like A Christmas Carol, this sould be a very enjoyable read. A unique twist on Scrooge. I loved it. Cute, funny, great writing. She's one of the authors for My Lady Jane. Great book.
pickA very interesting take on A Christmas Carol! Actually kind of believable if you believe in spirits and magic. Also, there were twists and turns and a satisfying albeit unexpected ending! Bravo! #1 on my #BookSpinBingo #BFC21 #JUMPSTART2021
#selfiescavengerhunt - reading by tree light, favorite reading spot, and favorite holiday read.😁🎄📖 #merryreaders #wintergames @Clwojick
pickI really enjoyed this one! I opted for the audiobook so I could listen while I did all my holiday prep! It was a great spin on the classic “A Christmas Carol”. Although I had expected the ending, it was still a beautifully wrapped up story 🎁
pickThis has been on my holiday TBR for forever and I was glad I managed to sneak it in this year! Dickens isn‘t my favorite, but this was actually a pretty cute retelling of a Christmas carol. Not too cheesy and different enough to feel like a new story. A perfect holiday read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickA Christmas Carol retelling that was done really well! This was such a great Christmas read! 🎄🎉🎁☃️ Merry Christmas!
pickAt first I was not really drawn into the story because the main character was a young brat and I could not connect, but that is kind of the point of the story.
I did get into the last one hundred pages and I really liked how it ended. It was a fun Christmas read after all.
pickI enjoyed this book, it got me in the holiday spirit. I'm always looking for Christmas-y books every year that aren't Hallmark-esque romcoms and this fit the bill. I also have always loved A Christmas Carol so this was a fun play on that. A pretty unique concept, but with all the old Scrooge nostalgia. It'd be fun if they made this into a movie one day.
so-soI liked it but it doesn‘t feel like a favorite for me personally. Kind of wish the ending was a little different. #WinterGames2020 #ReadNosedReindeer Holiday book +25

Participation +1.
pickThis is a quirky story, which I‘d expected, but fluffier than I‘d anticipated. That‘s okay. Maybe I‘ve been a bit too bah-humbug-ish over holiday fluff. This was a fun read and - dare I say it - quite charming.
Movie night tonight lol. Will be reading this during commercials. +6 #ReadNosedReindeer #WinterGames2020
