A Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone

A Holly Jolly Ever After by Julie Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this collaboration between Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone! Both funny & sexy the 2 main characters sizzle with chemistry and as they star in a sexy Hope Channel rom-com and soon Winnie becomes the student as Kallum becomes her teacher and oh do the sparks fly. LOVED this opposites attract plot, setting in the snow, & awesome characters.

The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan

The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesomely Narrated by: Eilidh Beaton, I read this on Hoopla as part of my library subscription. I love Jenny Colgan books and MaryAlice, my librarian friend told me about this and highly recommended it. I loved the voices of Carmen and Okie, especially Okie's Brazilian drawl! I loved the plot, poor Carmen who has not ever done anything the way her family wants, has been given a challenge to work in a bookstore- she ends of really enjoying saving this store and filling it with Christmas decorations, books, and watching the sales roll in. Not without drama, Carmen's choice of books to read bring children to tears and parents marching them out of the store. Carmen also has a dalliance with an author who does an appearance at the store. There is conflict with her sister and also the nanny, but Carmen and the kids enjoy each other. Such an enjoyable listen!!!

What Light by Jay Asher

What Light by Jay Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the Sierra who lives & loves CA 10 1/2 months of the year but I really loved the beauty and visuals Sierra provided as she romanticized her month 1/2 return to Oregon to sell trees with her family at their Christmas tree farm. And just when she gets used to her Dad scaring off the boys and never getting involved in a relationship, she meets Caleb. As she gets to know Caleb, she finds out early he has a secret (but more like gossip because no one has the real story) and as she gets to know him as a guy buying trees for needy families, working at a restaurant to earn more for the trees, Sierra sees for herself that she needs Caleb to tell her his story. Once this happens Sierra finds out about his ruined family life, no friends, and decides she really wants to continue to learn more about him because he likes hot coca with peppermint just like her. A nice light holiday story, another great read from Jay Asher.
