Holiday reads to make it through the finish line of 2020 (ugh!)
Holiday Reads
The Book: A journalist and a Christmas tree farmer, just may fall in love, take a snowy drive amidst the pines and then have a date which includes making a Gingerbread House. This Megan Squires book is swoon-worthy and sweet. A perfect holiday escape.
The Book: A professional baseball player finds he is about to lose his wife due to some unsavory (and insecure) macho-like behavior. He is recruited into a romance book club by some of his fellow baseball player buddies where he is introduced to romance books and how they can help him woo his wife back. Laugh out loud funny! Great story line and a fun read.
The Book: Hate-to-love trope (cue Erasure’s I love to hate you track) with an Indian arranged-marriage bent. Interesting story line, cultural twists and turns and a protagonist that is hard to like at times (but aren’t we all?)
The character lives in Texas and I love the melding of Tex-Mex food in some of the dialogue. I’m here for the spicy nachos.
The Book: I don’t know author Linda Seed, but I want to say thank you to her, because her books have been my #1 escape during quarantine. I have practically read every book she has written from March to December. There’s something about escaping to the charming seaside town of Cambria to have a romance, eat dinner with friends and maybe have a few hijinks.
As soon as COVID is over, this is precisely what I am doing!
I just started this book, so I don’t have a synopsis yet, but I already know I’ll love a day or two in Cambria!
P.S: I hope everyone is staying home and staying safe this holiday season, it has been a long and difficult year and hopefully we can sleep, eat and read our way to the strike of midnight on December 31st.
