I've just finished Bah Humbug
great book.
3/3Vicki, I agree Bah Humbug is a great book. Romance and comedy rolled into one book. I just finished Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans. He is one of my favorite authors. As usual I couldn't put the book down. The book cover is gold with misletoe hanging from a ribbon. Next, is Call Me Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber, another one of my favorite authors.
