"Morgan is a masterful storyteller.... For fans of Jojo Moyes and Taylor Jenkins Reid." --Booklist This Christmas, be whisked away by USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan in this uplifting novel of friendship, the festive season, and risking everything for the biggest gift of all... It was supposed to be Christy Sullivan's perfect Christmas getaway--a trip to Lapland with her family and best friend, Alix. But facing a make-or-break marriage crisis, Christy desperately needs time alone with her husband. Her solution? Alix can take Christy's little daughter to Lapland, and they will reunite there for Christmas Day. It's a big ask, but what else are friends for? There's nothing Alix won't do for Christy. But Christy's request to save Christmas is giving Alix sleepless nights. She knows something is wrong, but for the first time ever, Christy isn't talking. And even the Arctic temperatures in Lapland aren't enough to dampen the seriously inconvenient sizzle Alix is developing for Zac, a fellow guest and nemesis from her past. As secrets unravel and unexpected romance shines under the northern lights, can Christy and Alix's Christmas escape give them the courage to fight for the relationships they really want, and save the precious gift of each other's friendship?

I really enjoyed the #SnowAngels team book. Family, personal growth, romance, a cozy holiday, and humor. Great December pick. #WinterGames

Best friends have relationship issues and Lapland, #Sweden is ready to solve them all! One friend over plans her family‘s life and the other refuses all romantic entanglements—their problems are so immense it feels almost like caricatures. But I liked this book because their internal struggles are ones I think many of us have faced, and have had them jeopardize relationships. Friendships, families, and true love are at stake. A very good ⬇️

Texreader Christmas book. Not my normal genre, but I liked it and I‘m glad it was picked as one of our #buddyreads. Also because it works this month for #foodandlit!! Finally a book set in Sweden that didn‘t send me in to depths of depression. #Snowangels #WinterGames

How many times have you opened an ebook and saw an outrageous number of pages? This happens periodically and I‘m not sure why but it almost always causes a bit of distress when I haven‘t planned on reading a chunkster!

@Emilymdxn

KathyWheeler This always freaks me out, but location and page aren‘t the same thing. Locations are much smaller. The paperback version of this book is 376 pages according to Amazon. Acccording to https://ebooks.stackexchange.com/questions/8020/what-is-the-definition-for-locat... a location is every 150 bytes. (edited) 11mo
Texreader @KathyWheeler Wow!! Thanks so much for clearing this up for me. I wouldn‘t have ever guessed that! 11mo
KathyWheeler @Texreader I‘ve vaguely thought about before when location but not page shows up on my Kindle; your post finally pushed me to actually look it up. It‘s the librarian in me. 😊 (edited) 11mo
Hooked_on_books Yeah, I‘ve had this happen and it‘s always a little alarming. Not sure why they do this sometimes. 11mo
Kitta I read It by Stephen King and was shocked looking at my kindle after a few hours to find it still on 1%! What a huge book. Near 1000 pages! 11mo

An atmospheric read, with all the holiday cheer. I like how the all the difficult friendships/ family drama was handled. Yes, I like happy endings.
The Muppets Christmas Carol as always a fun time.

This is a cute Christmas romance with more depth and than the atypical Hallmark romance. My only criticism is the main women were both a bit insufferable. I still liked the story and it was a quick read. 3.5⭐️
Team #SnowAngels buddy read done!

Cute Christmas story. I am not a big romance reader, but I enjoyed the setting and Christmas coziness.

As a multiple POV, this story is full of drama: enemies to lovers, hurdles during marriage, navigating a friendship after a major conflict, on the spot learning to parent and building bridges with the family's black sheep.

This is the perfect holiday story to set the mood. It's full of warm, cozy, winter feels mixed with creating new family traditions. The character development is wonderful and relatable to many!

Delightful! This was quiet and atmospheric, I loved the setting in Lapland with sled dog and the aurora borealis, but my favorite part was the relationships and found family. This was not a fluffy holiday read but meaningful and lovely and exactly what I needed! #wintergames #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick #dashingdecember @Andrew65 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I read this one earlier this month and loved it! Last year I read another book by this author that I also really loved - 3y

5 💫 What an awesome relatable story. Two best friends that love each other like sisters bond even closer over a Christmas Escape. Friends and family face miscommunication challenges that all work out. #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #WrapItUpReadathon #AVeryMerryReadathon #Wintercosy #DashingDecember @StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks

Review The Christmas Escape, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My 1st Christmas read of the year and I absolutely loved it, an easy feel good book which in my opinion focuses on what Christmas is all about family, friends and showing people you care and love how you feel about them.
Loved the plot of the book and the ending was just perfect.
Definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a feel good easy Christmas read.

A nice romantic Christmas read. Like that the couples work through their problems rather than breaking up and making up #2021 #bookreview #ebook #fiction #bookstagram #christmas #romance #bookstagram #mistletoemaniacs #wintergames2021 +41pts #averymerrybingo

Wow. WG WordSearch is a total game changer. I was shocked when I totaled the points.
It‘s definitely easier tallying them reading an ebook vs listening to an audiobook.

First book read for #WinterGames #MistletoeManiacs and a lovely way to kick things off. This is the third Morgan book that I have read and I really love the way that she writes married couples working through their differences instead of writing each other off, and her emphasis on the importance of friendship and forgiveness. I almost wanted this one to be a little longer as it felt like some issues were skimmed a bit, but overall a lovely read.

TheAromaofBooks Also apparently I need to schedule an additional half hour every time I finish a book so I can figure out which bingos and challenges it fits!! 😂

I am always very enthusiastic about challenges and whatnot at the beginning of the year (have I already been working on my 2022 journal? Yes, yes I have LOL) but sometimes December comes & I still have some I want to wrap up!! My main focus for this month is hitting my Goodreads goal - I'll need to read 29 books this month to make it happen!!! Thanks for hosting the #WrapItUpReadathon @keys_on_fire !!!

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I need to read 18 this month 😅 good luck to both of us! 3y
HeyT omg and i was feeling bad about needing to finish 8 for my challenge commitments. 3y
TheAromaofBooks @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @HeyT - I definitely need to lower my goal for next year as I have several really long books I have genuinely put off this year because of them not aligning with my GR goal, which is honestly ridiculous haha 3y
See All 7 Comments
ju.ca.no @TheAromaofBooks same! I put of so many chunksters, just so I can make my goal😅😅 3y
TheAromaofBooks @ju.ca.no - Right?! I also procrastinate on my nonfiction reads, because they take me longer to read than fiction of the same length. Even though that GR goal is not actually important, I still want to hit it - so I'm going to knock it way down next year and hopefully get some of these fat books off my list!!! 3y
ju.ca.no @TheAromaofBooks exactly! I also am planning on setting the goal waaaay lower next year, so I can read what I feel like, not what‘s fast😅 3y
HeyT I usually hit my goodreads goal every year because I have to have them match so every year I pledge 50 and end up going over now that I don't have school reading to get in the way like I did when i first started the challenge. The 8 I need to read are my content challenges like book club back list and double spin picks. 3y

For anyone doing #WinterGames next month or wanting a Christmas book, I thoroughly recommend the tagged book, which was published at the end of last month. I am only halfway through the book, but loving it. The audiobook is also excellent.

In the U.K. it is a Black Friday Deal and is available for 99p, might be worth checking elsewhere.

My #bookspinbingo list for December. It‘s heavily focused for #wintergames2021 for team #mistletoemanics. I may read a few non-Christmas books as well. The tear in the paper is because I was upset.
