Three Christmas books this week!
In a Holidaze By Christina Lauren
This was my Book of the Month selection for December. I always have the hubby look at the picks for that month and we both thought that it sounded good. He read it to the baby and me at night while I nursed her. The description said it was a Christmas-y romance with a touch of Groundhog's Day (The character relives the same day over and over). We were both excited to read it, but we both were disappointed with it. The idea had such great potential and it just didn't utilize it. I would say it's still worth a check out, but I was just a little disappointed.
Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy
By Janice Lynn
Last year, I read a book called Wrapped Up In Christmas, and this year I read the pseudo sequel to it. They're both from The Hallmark Channel's publishing house, so that tells you how insanely cheesy they are.
A woman runs a quilt shop with her sister in a small town, and they're obsessed with Christmas. They're not in a quilting bee, but they make quilts for soldiers that are always red white and blue. Naturally, the main character falls in love with a soldier. He's a fireman and has a dark past. The romance is super cheesy, like the main character gets stuck in a tree and a fireman has to save her in the tree, I mean that's kind of ridiculous. I actually originally bought it to read on my Nook, but then my 1-year-old stepped on my nook and broke it, so then I had to listen to the rest of it while I finished some last minute Christmas crafts on the sewing machine. Don't worry my husband bought me a Kindle for my birthday in October, so it was kind of like a backup thing and never really worked great, but it's still kind of a bummer.
I would say this was not as quiet as good as the original Wrapped Up In Christmas but it's still a fun night Christmas cheesy romance.
