Enjoyable Seasonal Reads

It's the most wonderful time to the year...to continue reading!

Following is the list of Christmas novels which I have read...thus far...:

  1. The Christmas Angel Project by Melody Carlson - Dec. 4
  2. The Afterlife of Holly Chase - Dec. 19
  3. The Christmas Secret by Wanda E. Brunstetter - Dec. 20
  4. The Noel Diary by Richard Paul Evans - Dec. 22
The Christmas Angel Project:  This one is a re-read, a book I chose for our Paper Chase Book Store Book Club.  Enjoyed it just as much the second time as it reminds me of this very book club, a group of ladies who gather to chat about books and just enjoy their time together. Then, one of the ladies passes...and life continues.

The Afterlife of Holly Chase:  A re-telling of A Christmas Carol, this young adult novel introduces the reader to Holly who has been the Ghost of Christmas Past for five years now.  Do people deserve not just a second chance...but a third chance?  Maybe?  Grace says yes.

The Christmas Secret:  A novella centered around a diary and an entry that reveals a secret, this one introduces a young bride-to-be who suddenly finds her world upside down, but one who continues to turn to the Lord.  Her Man is persistent, digging for answers, traveling to tell the story further, accepting the results.

The Noel Diary:  The first in a series of three (the next two to-be-released) reads, as the author tells us, very similar to his life as a writer.  An author, the main character's mother passes, resulting in his returning home to face what he left behind, what is there now, and what will be.  Yes, this one also centers around a diary!

Still to read this season:
  1. The Christmas Train by David Baldacci
  2. A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs
Yes, 'tis the season...to read!

What are you reading good this Christmas?
