My Christmas Reading List

One of my favorite relaxing hobbies is reading on my Nook.

I don't even know the last time that I picked up a real book and turned the pages.

 

 

 

 

If you love to read and have considered a Nook, you can get one for $79 - which is unbelieveable  inexpensive. And no, I'm not be compensated for this post.

I really love my Nook and use it almost every day!

Here's my list of Christmas themed books that I'll be reading this season:

A Sweethaven Christmas by Courtney Walsh

sample

 

The women of Sweethaven are reunited for a small-town Christmas! It's holiday time in Sweethaven, but things don't go quite as planned for these scrapbookers.

 

Just finished reading this book, Courtney is a blogger and this is the third in a series that I really enjoyed.

 

 

A Winter Dream by Ricard Paul Evans

sample

 

Joseph Jacobson is the twelfth of thirteen siblings, all of whom are employed by their father’s successful Colorado advertising company. When the father seems ready to anoint Joseph as his heir, the brothers make their move, forcing Joseph from the company and his Denver home, severing his ties to his parents and ending his relationship with his soon-to-be fianceé. Alone and lonely, Joseph must start a new life.

 

 



A Winter Wonderland by Fern Michaels

 

Angelica Shepard left New York for Christmas in Colorado to relax and unwind--but an out-of-control snowboarder almost had her laid to rest. When she wakes up in the hospital, all she remembers is the handsome angel who saved her. . .

An Amish Gift by Cynthia Keller

 

After her husband, Shep, loses his latest job, Jennie Davis is grateful to be in a car en route to beautiful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Shep has inherited a house from a distant cousin, along with the cousin’s long-established bicycle shop. The move gives Jennie, Shep, and their two children a welcome chance for a fresh start.

My Kind of Christmas by Robyn Carr

sample

 

The Riordan brothers may have a reputation for being rough-and-tumble, but Patrick has always been the gentle, sweet-natured one. These days, his easygoing manner is being tested by his high-octane career as a navy pilot. But for the Riordan brothers, when the going gets tough…the tough find the love of a good woman.

Let me know if you have a favorite book this season.

UPDATE: If you love books, Courtney Walsh has an amazing book lovers giveaway going on this week that you'll want to check out!

My Summer Reading List

This summer I decided to make a list of book that I want to read..

I'm lucky enough to read during my lunch hour at work and I do a little reading on the weekends...

I've never been able to stay up and read late into the hours...

I envy those of you that can!

With the days getting warmer,

I love to sit outside and get some sun and read...

so relaxing plus I might catch a few winks...

So with that being said, I wanted to share

a few of the books I plan on reading this summer....

I wasn't going to read this book until all the hype came out

and while it does have a lot of graphic parts...
the story is very touching and I'll be reading the 2nd and 3rd books now...

I do recommend this book if you can get past the R-rated parts....

I'm super excited to see that Mary Kay Andrews has a new book...

just released this week!

Her books are funny and romantic with decorating and thrift shopping...

all a perfect combination...

I know I won't be disappointed and neither will you....

I'm pretty sure I've read every book from Debbie Macomber...

I think this one comes out in August...so I'll have to wait

but it's on my list of have to reads!

Danielle Steel is another author that I've read every one of her books...

she always has a book that comes out in July so she's always

on my summer reading list...

When I saw the movie previews for The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks,

I decided that I had to read the book before seeing the movie...

I love everything he writes...and while the endings tend to be typical..

aren't we all looking for a happily ever after?

Until I started searching for books to read, I had never heard of Louise Bagshawe...

but I think she will become one of my new favorite authors...

Glamour is about three women who at one time were best friends, now deadly rivals, 

and how they come together to rebuild their lives.

Star Bright is about a woman that runs away from an abusive husband

and finds refuge as a bookkeeper at a horse ranch...

her husband won't give up until he finds her...

Third in a series...which I'll definitely be checking out more of Catherin Anderson's books.

If you have any favorite authors or recommendations,

please leave me a comment because I'd love to know

who your favorites are...

Have a great Wednesday!

What I'm Reading

It's been awhile since I've talked about some books that I've read recently.

For my birthday last year, DH got me a Nook and I love it...

I read from it practically everyday...

it's kept in my purse for no matter where I am, I can pull it out and start reading..

I just finished reading this book, a nice read about eleven girls that stayed best friends into their adult years...

I've read every book by Debbie Macomber and this book centered around three women taking a road trip across the US...the ex-mother-in-law, mom and her daughter...

another great book for your summer reading..

My great friend, Jen recommended this author, Jennifer Chiaverini writes about women, friendship and quilting..I tend to be drawn to books about women and the relationships that they have with each other..

I might get sidetracked and read the latest book by Mary Kay Andrews..

if you've never read her books, she write about women, thrift shopping and restyling old finds ...

I tried to take a close up picture of my Nook but it came out pretty blurry..

Happy Wednesday and Happy Reading!

Are You on Facebook?

One of my all time favorite bookstores, Barnes and Noble is on Facebook and this week they hosted a live chat with Debbie Macomber (my favorite author)!

And there were lots of women asking questions being asked. I couldn't believe that she answered a couple of my questions!

I have two favorite books...

Twenty Wishes

and

Hannah's List.

And because I love to read cookbooks

 I just purchased Cedar Cove Cookbook.

Make sure to watch the video and see if you're not drooling for her Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies.

Also if you sign Debbie's guestbook, she has monthly drawings - you could win one of her books!

If you're not currently on Facebook

 please consider it, there's a lot of great information out there and it's free to set up an account!

Happy Saturday!

Savannah Breeze anyone?

As I indicated in my last post, the books picked for the Oprah Book Club make me feel inferior when I read them. I don't get them and I find them boring and easily lose interest.

While reading many blogs, I heard about Mary Kay Andrews, an author of several books about women and thrifting. I'm intrigued by any fiction book that has thrifting in the storyline.


Right now I'm reading Savannah Breeze and it makes me want to open a (motel) inn and fill each room with my thrifting finds. If you haven't read this book, you simply must - especially if you love thrifting and romance...

I should be doing laundry or cleaning but I plan on reading until it's bedtime...

The cover on the book says this is a sequel to Savannah Blues and Hissy Fit. I've got them requested through the public library. Doesn't sound like I'm going to have anytime for thrifting, this book is GOOD! Could DH's prayer's be answered? Prob not!

I'm sure glad I have this book, Obama is on - boring! I'll leave it at that.
