I might be procrastinating!

I might be procrastinating!"
Crack up!! :-)
I finished Emily March's Christmas in Eternity Springs and loved it. It is one of my top reads from the 2016 Christmas romances. I prefer my Christmas books with the season serving as more than a backdrop, and this one definitely met that criteria. I'm reading a Christmas anthology (The Most Wonderful Time) today. I've read three of the four novellas, and all have been more ho-hum than ho-ho-ho.
I know what you mean, Leigh-Ayn!
Janga, I'm glad you finally got a Christmas book that didn't make you say Bah Humbug ;) That's a good point about the season being backdrop versus being actually integrated into the story.
I've just started The Trespasser by Tana French. It always takes me a little while to get into her books because each one is in the same world but has a different narrator. She's an actress originally and I see her novels as sort of extended dramatic monologues--each from a different character on the Dublin Murder Squad. This one has a heroine with a thick Irish slang so it's a bit slow going. But different, and I know the mystery will be interesting.

Not sure what I'm going to dive into next. Nothing is catching my interest. I've started and stopped about 3 books this past weekend!
