pickI wanted to decorate for Christmas today, but an “end of semester, immune system goes on vacation” cold laid me out instead. 🥲 At least I had this waiting for me on my Kindle! Jenny Bayliss is an auto-read author for me - I just have to read her holiday novels one year behind so I can get them through the library! 😂

Not my cup of tea. It's a Hallmark style Xmas story with stereotopycal characters and quite too cheesy and predictable for my taste.
Good thing is that it's a fast read ;)
so-soI went back and forth on this one between “Pick” and “So-So”. After their father‘s death, 3 estranged half sisters must reunite and work together to bring back the towns Winter Solstice Celebration. I thought the middle of the book was a little slow, but it picked up at the end again. I also felt it was a little too long. Overall though, a cute story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
bailedGot about halfway through and had to come to terms with the fact that I‘m extremely bored and lost all interest in what happens with these characters. I just couldn‘t keep reading and was dragging my feet with calling it quits. Plus, I couldn‘t stand one of the MCs. And I just don‘t want to waste more time with this one, so DNFed!
pickThis was so Christmassy, soothing, and memory-inducing. I loved this peek at a unique family with strained dynamics they need to work through in order to honor their dad, reconnect with their roots & possibly find a treasure. Small town vibes with lyrical writing that feels like warm cocoa with extra marshmallows. Loved it! #wintergames read, 26points, #wordsearch 3,210 points. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #readathon @Andrew65 #dashingdecember
Ready to start the #DashingDecember readathon this morning!
My goals are to finish up a few library books due soon, to walk and listen to #audiobooks every day and to read every day. Love an @Andrew65 #readathon !
pickI liked this one a lot more than the other holiday books I've been reading. While there is definitely romance in it, this is really a story about family and sisterhood, both biological and womankind. The dynamics among the three sisters felt believable, and the community in which they live was inspiring. Great atmosphere as well.
I love Christmas gnomes and I love Christmas stories 😊🥰🎄 The tagged book is new but the rest are books I reread every year during the holiday season 😁
pickA lovely holiday read! Not super Christmassy, but it made me feel good and want to live in Rowan Thorp, which is all I ever ask for. Love how the North sisters reunited and found a home! #womensfiction #christmasfiction
so-soI enjoyed parts of the book, but I also found it to be rather boring. I didn't really care about the characters except in certain moments. Toward the end of the book, I was starting to care, but it never actually happened. I did like the way we see the relationship amongst the sisters and how that changes.
pickOh my gosh, so so cute! I went through all the emotions while reading this and had such a hard time not finishing this in one go. It's a little absurd, but absolutely magical and perfect for for getting me into the holiday mood.
A December to Remember |
