Christmas Shopping With Patricia Kiyono

 


 



When do you do your Christmas shopping?  How do you decide what to buy?  Are you a bargain hunter or an extravagant giver?

Welcome to the Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop hosted by Bookhounds and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer!


Here's a brief look at two of my novels.

Dessert…the perfect remedy when nothing in life seems to be going right.


What do you do when you are the sole protector of four children, your brothers and sisters? When each day is haunted by disappointment, disillusionment and desperation? When you believe that everyone who ever loved you, including God, has abandone...

Christmas is almost here!  Are you as excited about it as I am?  Is the shopping done?  Gifts wrapped?  Menu planned?  We have a family tradition.  Christmas breakfast is Monkey Bread.  It's guaranteed to start your day off with a nice healthy sugar high.  Hence, it's great success!

Going Nowhere for Christmas

 


 



This is the place where I'd normally introduce to you the person that's going to be on my blog...but today that person is me!  So here I am.  ME.  In all my Christmas-loving glory.  (Which probably means I'm still wearing pajamas and drinking peppermint mocha coffee.)


Now, you may have gotten the impression that I like Christmas.  If so, you're completely correct.  You may also have this idea that I sometimes get a little too excited about things....

Celebrating Christmas with Sherry Gloag

 


 



Christmas is almost here!


For just a minute, put up your feet and enjoy a good book.  Don't worry about the wrapping, the shopping, the menu-planning, or where to put all the family.


Make up your mind to enjoy yourself today - and what better way to do that then with a book?


Today, I welcome Sherry Gloag to my blog!  Her newest release, Name The Day, is a Christmas novel worth the read.  Get to know Sherry and her characters!

Super Mini Spotlights


I normally blog on Tuesdays, but instead of a regular blog post today, I decided to do some super mini spotlights on some other Christmas books.  No posts from the authors, just a little peek at some books that might be worth a look-see.  Some of them are ones I've read, and some are not.  Click on the book cover to see the rest of the blurb.  Enjoy!


 


Title:  Operation: Christmas Hearts


Author:  Kay Springsteen


Of special note:  4.9 out of 5 star rati...

Jo Grafford - Christmas in Bavaria


 


 


Okay, folks, I'm really excited about this post!  As someone whose most exotic travel includes across the border into Mexico for inexpensive shopping when I was a kid, the idea of traveling to other parts of the world fascinates me.  I might even envy world travelers just a smidgen.


Today, I'm turning my blog over to Jo Grafford, who currently resides in Bavaria.  Please give her a warm welcome, enjoy her post, and feel free to leave a kazillion comments.  Or...

Ruth J. Hartman - Christmas Shopping Calendar

 


 



As you may know, I love Christmas.  L. O. V. E.  I'm a little over-the-top about it, too.  (Case in point:  sparking bird & bow to the left)  I'm in good company, though!  I found some fantastic authors who've written Christmas-themed books to share my blog with this year.   Enjoy!

Christmas with Brenda Maxfield


 



Christmas is just around the corner!  Are you ready yet?  One year we lived in this tiny little place with no room for a tree, so I used garland and shaped it into a tree on the wall.  It was...not as great in reality as it had been in theory.  I'm a much better artist in my mind than I am in real life!


Today, I'm turning my blog over to Brenda Maxfield.  Please give her a warm welcome, enjoy her post, and feel free to leave more comments than any of us can c...
