Welcome to Litsy!

I had a bit of a delay in getting the book, so my package was just sent out today.

Would you swap houses with strangers? It‘s not something I‘d do and West isn‘t happy about it either. His stepfather offers West‘s Colorado home in a swap with a family from Arizona for Christmas. Swim instead of ski on Christmas?!? Will West have happy holidays?

This story sounds like a YA book. Two families decide to swap their houses, one in Colorado, the other one in Arizona.Someone will stay in one of the houses but decides to do it in incognito and the confusion starts. It was ok maybe so-so but I also enjoyed this one. Very predictable with happy ending, like a simple hallmark movie. 3⭐️ #DashingDecember @Andrew65
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks Thank you @mabell for the book

It‘s here!!! So excited to receive my #Jolabokaflod package! Thanks so much, Diane! 😘😘

I received my #jolabokaflodSwap package arrived on the same day that I shipped mine! Thanks, @AmyG ! And also to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing the swap! Can‘t wait to open it—but I will restrain myself until Christmas Eve! 🎄🎁

My #JolabokaflodSwap package was shipped today and should arrive at its destination Tuesday! I actually remembered to take a picture this time. 😁

This was ok but the characters felt so very young to me. This would have worked more for a YA than a story about adults.

Just opened my #litsylovewinterswap package from @moonprismpower.
Thank you so much! I had never heard of the Gimble, but it will make holding books open so much easier. And the size/weight will make it easy to throw into a purse and go! Super excited to read the books & I love the infinity scarf. Told my fiancee I would be nice and let her steal the vanilla hot cocoa, but there was no way she was getting my mint packet! Lol. Happy holidays!

Yay! Thank you to @Littlewolf1 My #jolabokaflodswap package arrived! Thank you!
Also thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing!!

Another fun and cozy holiday read with a case of mistaken identity and lots of skiing.

I haven‘t read Christmas romances in years, (this must be the year) but when I searched Hoopla for Christmas mysteries this is what I found instead. Cute story about a house swap at Christmas and a lovely character named Emma who seriously needs to find new friends. Just about three stars.

As much as I liked Emma, I really disliked the people she chose to keep company with during the holidays, year after year.

#JolabokaflodSwap is on the way!

@MaleficentBookDragon

No this book isn't about Litsy gift swaps. 🤣🤣
2 people swap houses during the holiday and a romance blooms. It's cute and entertaining.

What a fun, festive swap to participate in 🙂

I'll sleep well tonight knowing this is on its way!

I mailed my #JolabokaflodSwap package today @MaleficentBookDragon

I enjoyed the festive read very much... the kind of book that has you longing for hot cocoa by the fire, Christmas carols on the radio and snow lightly falling outside!

Reading about all these Christmas Swaps has me intrigued. I've never done a Litsy swap before but this might be the time to jump in...

I like Ms. Carlson's writing, and she's good with dialogue. Despite the book not being very long (163 pages), we still get to know both Emma and West, and the supporting characters are also well written and unique enough to feel real. I very much enjoyed this novella.

I jumped at the chance to read this one after loving The Happy Camper so much—this one is a bit shorter, under 200 pages. I especially loved the snow skiing scenes. I can‘t imagine people swapping houses at the holidays but maybe that‘s a thing that really happens? The story makes Breckinridge sound fantastic, especially at #Christmas 🎄❄️⛷

Thanks to @revellbooks for sending this free review copy in exchange for a review!!

FULL REVIEW on my blog:

I enjoyed Emma‘s positive spirit and her delight in seeing snow for the first time. West was instantly drawn to Emma and their friendship got off to a great start.

Well, except for that whole “not revealing who he really is” bit. 😉🤣

Mistaken identity is a theme that works well in these lighthearted novellas and this time was no exception.

I received a complimentary copy of this book.
