Good day to all!! My husband was out of town last week and I had some extra time on my hands in the evenings. I thought I would share three books I read while he was gone. Two are definitely Christmas themed and any of the three can be read in just a couple of hours or less.

My Thoughts
5 STARS!!!
Up on the
Housetop is a fast-paced contemporary novella (or really short novel)
that has just the right amount of fun, drama, and romance. I got it free
on Kindle and I'm glad I did. It's my first Liz Isaacson book but won't
be my last. I like her writing style.

My Thoughts
4.5 STARS!!!
Crandall
sure knows how to write a spellbinding romance. I devoured this novella
in just a couple of hours. I don't think readers will have trouble
sorting out the characters from the previous books. If you haven't read
them, I would highly encourage starting with The Hesitant Heiress, which
introduces the Everstone family. I read that one when it debuted and
really liked it. My only hesitation continuing the series was the fact
they are written in first person POV and I struggle with that form.
Hence, I now need to go back and read the other books because it didn't
take me long to get my bearings with Enchanting Nicholette, and I
thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was gifted a copy of the book from the author and publisher. No review was required. No compensation was received.

Mistletoe Kiss is a cute and witty Christmas story for under a buck on Kindle!

For Advent, I've been reading a chapter a day from the book of Luke. With 24 chapters, when I finish the book on Christmas Eve, I will have read Jesus' life story. Doing it this way has given me time to meditate on God's Word and I find myself having quite a few ah-ha moments.
Do you have any recommended reads for Christmas? Or how about for Advent?
I recently discovered Liz Isaacson and I have been on a binge of her books since! I haven't read Up on the Housetop yet, but I will! LOL
ReplyDeleteI will be looking up the other two books. They sounds really good!
I am so glad to hear her other books are great too! Dawn has several books out and they are ALL connected! Which is totally cool!
