Book: Christmas Under the Stars

Pages: 486
Read: 12/11/18

C - title
R - character Ronnie
B - character Barbara

Do I need to read Christmas Under A Cranberry Sky? My understanding is that the Thanksgiving colours are orange & brown, so cranberry needs to be a word in the title rather than the colour?? I've just finished my other book and am happy that read this one if needed

For word in title I have Christmas Under a Cranberry Sky which I can read if no-one else has started a book for it.

I'm reading Christmas Under the Stars which will work for C (author), B (character Barbara) or R (character Ronnie)

Book: Wish Upon a Star

Works for M for author (no U or Y)

Does "mummy" have to be in the context of a mummy as in a body? Or can it be mummy as in a parent?
If the parent context works it's in the text of my book:
Wish Upon A Star by Sarah Morgan, Page 79 - "wear the black dress mummy,"
