I'm in. I think I'll read Dead by Midnight: An I-Team Christmas by Pamela Clare, Cold Feet at Christmas by Debbie Johnson, and The Toymaker by Kay Springsteen.
Goodness. I have a TON of these unread. Now I just need to narrow it down.
I've been binging on these for the last week, I'm a sucker for a Christmas romance with kids. All eras.
Yup. I like all eras, too. And I don't just read them this time of year. I do tend to read anthologies in December, as sometimes I don't know when I can get back to a book, so short stories work well.
I just started a shelf for recommended (and some I've read) holiday books. Actually, I've started more than one shelf for different holidays. I'm more in the mood for holiday romances this year, so am totally on board with this and have a BUNCH to read. I just have to find them all ;-)

I don't know! I haven't read it...yet. But, the year's not over. LOL!
Lara wrote: "What a title!"Really. **chuckles**

I've read that one! I rated it 4 stars and here's my review:
Even though this story was set in England, it translated well to really any setting. There wasn't a lot of terminology that was native to England, so it was easy to just get lost into the story. It was a really cute story centered around getting funding for a mountain rescue team. The story seemed shorter than it actually was, and I was able to read it in about a day. The end of it discusses a Christmas celebration, but there is no other mention of the holiday throughout the rest of the book. I would heartily recommend this book to others!
I've had a Christmas shelf for multiple years (196 titles) Christmas based. I've read half, anyone interested in ideas feel free to take a look... Christmas bookshelf

I have a bunch requested from the library, looking forward to snuggling up with them.
Carrie wrote: "I have a bunch requested from the library, looking forward to snuggling up with them."That's a great idea. I plan to spend/waste some time going through my ebooks and adding them to my holiday shelf someday soon. That will give me a good pool to work from.
I usually collect a number of holiday romances throughout the year to read in December. Only have one this year.
So far, I'm interested in the historical holiday romances by Mary Balogh. I am going to start
I've been binging on holiday titles, I have a few more I plan to read and then I will have to move on.5 stars
4 Stars
I started my first holiday book last night 
so far so good
I started
tonight. I've been reading this short story series since last month. There will be nine in all.
I finished Cold Feet at Christmas last night. It wasn't too bad, definitely a British humor romance. The hero was a complete jerk, but I really liked the heroine!
So far I have finished
, it was wonderful. 4 Stars
Carrie wrote: "So far I have finished , it was wonderful. 4 Stars"This is my favorite Mary Balogh book - although its Christmas teamed, it's anything but fluffy, rather the opposite - angst filled, emotional, just outstanding. I'm going to re-read it. Thanks Carrie for bring it up.

It most definitely was not a fluffy read, my eyes filled with tears reading it. I hope you enjoy it all over again. It was my first book by this author and I now want to read everything she has published.
That Balogh book sounds really good. But, I'll have to wait to read it until I'm more rested. I'm definitely not up for angst.Yesterday I read a really fun novella,
, so if anyone's looking for something lighter, I recommend it. Both have parents and upbringings that were less than ideal. However, it doesn't color their expectations for how they might be as spouses or parents.
ShoSho wrote: "I started my first holiday book last night so far so good"I finished it and I really liked it. The plot was very complicated and full of twists and turns. I started reading it thinking it's a fluffy Christmas read but it was much more than that.
it has 5 short stories. I just finished the first one. It was great ,I have goosebumps all over !

Carrie, you are in for a treat - Mary Balogh has published some of the most wonderful, complex, lovely, romantic stories. My favorites have to be from the current Survivor's club series, but I also loved the Huxtables, Simply Quartet, Bedwyn Saga and Lord Carew's Bride from the Stapleton-Downes. All outstanding recommendations IMO.
Hi ! I haven't been around in awhile, but I want to jump in on this one.I will check to see what I have waiting for me to read that fits this category & come back to list them.
Here's what I have to start with:

Mee
Finished
today. It was cute. Also
the day before.
Those look good, Mee. Carrie & Mee...yes, love a good Debbie Macomber story during the holidays.
I finished
. It was short and cute and the opening scene was amusing. The title was misleading. The holidays were barely mentioned and the guy was not an alpha of any sort.
I love Christmas stories. So far, this month I've finished:Three Nights before Christmas I found out there's a companion book by Susan Mayberry so I plan to read that one as well
Unwrapping Hank
I've read
but there wasn't really much Christmas vibe in it.

You can tell the marketing department didn't read the book, nor read the author's synopsis, either.

Oh, Barbara. The cover to
is cute.
Lisa Kay wrote: "Oh, Barbara. The cover to is cute."I read one book by Eli Easton , it was cute. I'm hoping to read
Nice to have an "EE" author. :o)
