Christmas Reads...so far

Such a busy time of the year, isn't it?  Should we feel guilty for not having read enough Christmas books?  Maybe, I do.  Or...maybe...due to all the busyness, reading three is just an accomplishment!

So far, this Christmas season, I have read the following:
  1. The Christmas Train by David Baldacci:  This one I read for local Paper Chase Book Store's Book Club.  As I read, the plot began to return, as I began to remember having read this one before.  Romance and mystery and history...all combined...made this one an enjoyable read...again.
  2. Noel Street by Richard Paul Evans:  Single mom Elle meets Vietnam War veteran William, and each learns how one's past leads to a better future.
  3. Peppermint Tea and Purple Socks by Suzy Taylor Oakley:  Written by a home-town author, I so enjoyed supporting my friend Suzy and, also, diving into this mystery romance set in a book store.  A favorite book setting of mine! 
Now, to finish some books already begun...have four for-sures to finish...and I have a Nora Roberts' trilogy that I have purposefully waited until this Christmas Break to read...and I have one more Christmas e-book to complete this season's reads.  But...even if I were to finish all seven of these novels, I will fall short of my one-book-a-week goal.  But...this has been such a busy year (new job this fall!)...so...shall we remove that but and shall I be excited...in a supercalifragalisticexpealodocious sort of way...that I will nearly complete my goal?!  Yes!  I am!

Happy reading!
