pickWith Christmas stories, both movies and books, my favorites will always be the ones that build on the foundation of the Holiday. Where the storyline can't just edit out a few scenes or chitchat for the story/characters to easily be transported to another season.
This wasn't festive throughout, yet it would have been weird if it had been, due to the disaster.

so-soSo this is not a story for everyone. It went to places I don‘t normally seek when reading. It was graphic in parts that were just plain out there & gross at times. But, this book took me out of my comfort zone and put me into a mind that is very unlike mine. That‘s the great thing about reading though, it transports you into another world or life. I gave this a so-so because I don‘t feel like I walked away with anything profound from it. Just eh
pickAbsolutely FLEW through this at work today!! First time I‘ve read a book in one day in ages ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI LOVE NEIL so much and Andrew is just- Yes. Yes yes yes.
pickHard to believe this one came out ten years ago! Since its release in 2015, with the sequel out 5 years later, I decided to re-read this one to fully enjoy the whole duology! And I‘m so glad— while I clearly remembered the central, larger than life romance of an Iowan foreign exchange student meeting and falling in love with a prince, I had forgotten the side dramas between the friends & her twin that added so much more to this romance! So fun!
so-soThis was a book club choice. At first not too crazy about this but as I read and understood why things were the way they were … wanted to see the evolution of the characters..more I read better it was 2/20/25
It is about showing “Good Will“ towards neighbors and strangers, about that special kind of “Hope“ and “Faith in the Unbelievable“ that the magic of Christmastime inspires in many, and about what the “Magic of Christmas“ could mean for a child.

While this book was not about the True meaning of Christmas in the religious sense, nor the Santa-kind of Magic of Christmas. What this did capture is the essence of Christmas.
