I think so. Now that the weather is getting cooler I'm in the mood for Christmas books! Yay. Good luck.
DeleteStill in the 90s here, but always start early getting my Christmas books for the long cold winter. I don't really want to think about winter, but it's a-comin'.
DeleteGood Morning Kav, hope all is well and your new therapy will be of great help to you!
ReplyDeleteChristmas books are some of my favorites to read, all the warm fuzzies! Believe it or not, I'm on my sixth Christmas book right now, five have been review copies so I'm down to my last few choices on my list.
The Mistletoe Secret (11/15)is the next one I'd like to read. Richard Paul Evans is a master of Christmas storytelling.
Thanks for the giveaway and have a blessed day my friend :)

DeleteThe Christmas Target by Shirlee McCoy (11/1) would be my second choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
I love Richard Paul Evans -- never thought of checking whether he has a new Christmas book coming out and you can't go wrong with Shirlee McCoy! Good luck, Tracey.

Christmas at Promise Lodge by Charlotte Hubbard
ReplyDeletedianalflowers(at)aol(dot)com
I guess it's obvious I love Amish Christmas books! Lol
DeleteThere's something extra special about Amish + Christmas, isn't there? I have another Charlotte Hubbard book on my TBR pile -- recent but no a Christmas one. I've never read her before. Good luck, Diana.
DeleteThere certainly is! I just love the combination! I haven't read her before either. But this book already has good ratings and I've heard alot of good things about Charlotte's books.

Thanks for doing this, Kav....so much fun!
I just read God Bless Us Every One -- look for it later this week as a giveaway too so you can give it a double try. :-) I've read only one of the Baxter books -- and it was in the middle of the series. I think they are best read in order and I've been meaning to do that so thanks for the reminder. Good luck, Jackie!

I think A Family Under the Christmas Tree looks really good. I had it on my radar thanks to the last time we did Reader's Choice. A Plain and Sweet Christmas Romance Collection has some author names I've never heard of before so that would be a good one to get too. Good luck, Heidi.

The Mistletoe Secret by Richard Paul Evans
ReplyDeleteThat Mistletoe Secret is popular. Such a classic Christmas author. I think some of his stories have been made into movies. Good luck, Lucy.
DeleteIs it okay if I put in the same book three times? My sister wants The Angel of Forest Hill by Cindy Woodsmall and I don't really have any in this genre that I want myself, so I was wondering if it would be okay to put this one in three times.
ReplyDeleteElly -Indiana-
Sorry, Elly -- one title suggestion per draw. You sister has good taste in Amish Christmas books. :-) Good luck!

I am too, Caryl. I try to read as many as I can but then I don't want to neglect other new releases that aren't Christmas stories too and...oy...such a reader dilemma. Good luck!
DeleteChristmas At Promise Lodge by Charlotte Hubbard. d[dot]brookmyer[at]yahoo[dot]com
ReplyDeleteAn Amish Family Christmas by Shelley Shepard Gray d[dot]brookmyer[at]yahoo[dot]com
ReplyDeleteA Plain And Sweet Christmas Romance Collection by various authors. I love Amish stories and also being about Christmas even makes it better! d[dot]brookmyer[at]yahoo[dot]com
ReplyDeleteYes -- there's something about Amish and Christmas all wrapped up in a story. Good luck, Donna.
DeleteI usually only read Christmas stories when they are already a part of a series that I am reading or have read. I've only read the first book in the Charmed Amish Life series, but the second book is sitting right next to my computer. So, my first choice is:
ReplyDeleteAn Amish Family Christmas by Shelley Shepard Gray
tlhcoupon(at)hotmail(dot)com
Maybe this is weird to ask (I'm just too curious for my own good sometimes lol), but is there a reason you only read Christmas stories when they're part of a series you're reading?
DeleteNo problem, Elly. I don't normally seek them out, because they are usually singularly focused and oftentimes novellas. Novellas aren't my favorite, because I love lots of depth and details. Granted, I have read some Christmas stand-alones and novellas that I thoroughly enjoyed, it's just that I don't purposefully seek them out. If they are part of a series that I have read or are reading, it can be enjoyable to revisit the setting and favorite characters.
DeleteI'm with you on novellas -- I much prefer a full length novel I can sink my teeth into! But there are some authors who can pack that emotional punch into a novella too so I look for the collections they are in. But I'd rather it be no more than three or four authors. Not a fan of the really big collections.
DeleteMind you, Christmas is the one time I really do enjoy a good novella. I'm used to reading a Christmas story each night before Christmas -- so why not read a novella?
I haven't read this series, but I want to and have the first few books.
ReplyDeletePlain Christmas by Sarah Price
tlhcoupon(at)hotmail(dot)com
And my last, but definitely not least is:
ReplyDeleteA Royal Christmas Wedding by Rachel Hauck
tlhcoupon(at)hotmail(dot)com
I haven't read anything by Sarah Price yet either. And I have to catch up on the Charmed series as well. Good luck, Terrill.
DeleteTwelve Days of Christmas by Debbie Macomber -- I know that if I get this book, I can pass it to my sister afterwards. She loves to read Debbie Macomber books!
ReplyDeleteDianna
The Angel of Forest Hill by Cindy Woodsmall
ReplyDeleteI just love her books. They're always encouraging, and have a little more depth than other Amish fiction novels.
Dianna
Christmas at Stoney Creek by Martha Rogers
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything by this author before.
Dianna
Great choices, Dianna. Good luck.
DeleteKav, for my third choice I'll go with A Royal Christmas Wedding by Rachel Hauck. I figure a wedding-related book is a good choice for me! :)
ReplyDeleteckbarker at gmail dot com
LOL -- yes, definitely a match! Good luck, Cheryl.
DeleteI'd like to request The Christmas Secret by Wanda E. Brunstetter.
ReplyDeleteElly -Indiana-

Also, Cowboy Christmas Homecoming by Mary Connealy, Ruth Logan Herne, Julie Lessman, and Anna Schmidt
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Elly -Indiana-

Yay -- I was surprised no one picked Cowboy Christmas Homecoming yet -- a great combination of authors and a brand new publisher. We need to give them our business. Good luck, Elly.
DeleteKav, that was my #2 pick....lol!!
DeleteBwahahahahaha! That one flew by me without the authors' names listed. So, I stand corrected. There have been two requests for this awesome collection...wait...there may be more than I missed so let's say at least two. Snicker.
