Really enjoyed this one! Characters were engaging and the storyline was fun.

I had no idea this was a hallmark movie too when I listened to it. Cute enough story, though I thought the relationship was under developed. It probably translated to film better. #merryreaders #wintergames

Audio “baked” this for tomorrow. #merryreaders #wintergames https://spicysouthernkitchen.com/butterfinger-chocolate-and-peanut-butter-lush/?...

Okay, I am usually okay with cheesy when I pick up a romance, but this one was a bit over-the-top, and I'm not even sure why. Was this really cheesier than any of the others?? I think part of it is that the female lead is SO obnoxiously obsessed with work to the point that her whining about not being able to have her phone and about being "stuck" at the camp made her sound like the two teenagers who were there with their dad. She just came ⬇️

Although the #WinterSolsticeReadathon doesn't start for a few days, I've already decided my goal!! For #ReadYourWay, which has been going on all month, my goal was to read an average of 300pgs/day. I've actually done pretty great with that goal & am currently almost 200 pages ahead of schedule. For this readathon, I'm going to see if I can get those “bonus“ pages to 1000!!!

Finished my Christmas baking (which I scaled back this year) to this lovely romance ala Hallmark. Made three kinds of cookies-here‘s the link for two- s‘mores and peppermint. The s‘mores are killer! #merryreaders #wintergames PS he refused to be put down 🤷‍♀️ https://www.realsimple.com/featured/5CookieRecipes2020?fbclid=IwAR29R3Uz6aczheFI...

So as I'm reading Christmas Camp the book mentions how the camp has two main signature recipes that are a hit every year. Their famous Hot Chocolate & Sugar Cookies. I happened to look towards the end of my book to find that the author included the recipes in case anyone wanted to try it!! Yay!! I definitely want to give these recipes a try!!!

Here is December's #BookSpin list!! As you can see - very Christmas heavy 😂

Still plenty of time to join in this challenge if you'd like - I'll draw the official numbers & post December's bingo board on the 2nd. Be sure to tag me if you decide to post a list!!

Just finished a #cosy #festive #romance that is unlikely to make grandma blush! Haley, a workaholic ad designer is forced to go to a Christmas Camp by her boss to come up with ideas for a new campaign. Initially resistant, she soon gets forced into the Christmas spirit by handsome Jeff, his team and the other inmates at the Christmas prison camp! OK, so it's a #cheesefest but perfect if you fancy something light without too much smut!

Read the book and watched the movie - both were delightful!

My last book of 2019 is actually two books in one. (Christmas camp and Christmas Camp Wedding). How fitting that it was another Christmas book, and my last picture under the tree for this year. Such a sweet story and now a Hallmark channel movie. 😊 I'm a sucker, I know lol 😅

Another cute story. I liked how Haley changed over the course of the story. My only complaint is I thought how quickly she changed was unrealistic. 3.5⭐

This book is delightful! I want to go to a Christmas camp! ##WinterGames #SlayBells @Clwojick @StayCurious ##HolidayRead (26pts bc it's been made into a movie)

This was great. Best Christmas book I've read so far this year, for sure. When Haley's boss makes her go to week-long Christmas camp to get a shot at making partner at her advertising firm, she hates the idea. Little by little, the people, especially Jeff, the wonderful cabin in the middle of the woods, and the spirit of Christmas grow on her. I might return to this book next holiday season. I will definitely be reading the follow up novella soon!

So this is a novel written *after* the screenplay. And I have to say, I like the book better. She made some changes and I think it made the book so much better.

And the book included some fun recipes, like the Christmas Camp Sugar Cookies Secret Recipe. 🍪

I also read Christmas Camp Wedding.

This falls into the So-So category for me and I‘m not sure if that‘s because of the narrator or that I really wasn‘t into the MC 🤷🏽‍♀️ but I will try to see when the movie airs on Hallmark Channel. #wintergames

Everything I love about a hallmark Christmas movie in book form! Parts made me laugh, parts made me cry and through it all I had a smile on my face!

Karen Schaler hits all the Hallmark moments we have come to expect from our seasonal stories in Christmas Camp.

I swear I could probably review all of these Christmas books and say the same thing because they are basically the same story, only with a few minor changes here or there. In this book, an ad executive is directed to go to a week of Christmas boot camp if really wants to land her promotion. Corny and cliche, this book‘s “Christmas Camp” idea was still a cute twist on a predictable trope.

Christmas Eve is a quiet time in my house. Celebrating kicks in again tomorrow. That being said, do I dare try to read another Christmas novel tonight or do I switch to Christmas movies instead? Decisions, decisions! Amazingly, this book is apparently a TV movie already. It‘s supposedly premiering tomorrow, although I can‘t find anything specific anywhere about it.

Guys! This book was so stinking cute. The absolute perfect Christmasy read (or listen)! The quintessential Hallmark style Christmas love story. It had the devoted business woman, the small town guy, a great group of supporting characters, Christmas to the extreme, sass, romance, AND cute old people. Literally cannot go wrong. 💖💖💖💖💖

Hello all
Haven‘t been here for a bit but this is a great way to start the season

On my way to and from work I‘ve been listening to Audiobooks because the news is too depressing. This month I decided to pick the first Christmas one that came up in romance, and I‘ve loved it so far. This morning I noticed that it was written by the writer of everyone‘s Christmas Netflix love, A Christmas Prince, so now I know why I love it. Yay for cheesy Christmas romance!

Wonderful, feel-good, upbeat. Christmas-avoider Haley goes to Christmas Camp to soak up the holiday in order to use what she learns on an upcoming major toy marketing campaign and ends up embracing the true holiday spirit for herself. Love the ending. Very positive and clean story, very much like a good Hallmark movie. Love every single character! Added it to my annual holiday reads rotation. Highly recommend this for holiday readers.

Not my usual sort of read, but fun. We are traveling home from a funeral, so something light was in order. This is Hallmark/Lifetime movie meets Dickens‘ Christmas Carol, with a female Scrooge. Of course we know that all will come out well in the end. I‘ll put a full review in LibraryThing when I get home, as this was an early reviewer book that I won. 3.5⭐️

Our temperatures are in the 90s, my house is decorated for fall, and this arrived! I got this through #LibraryThing #EarlyReviewer. I‘m hoping that reading this will make me feel cooler😄
