"’Twas Christmas in Boston" may be a new release, but the story is instantly timeless! The story has that perfect blend of loss, redemption, and found family set against the rich texture of 1918 Boston. I love world-building. If a story doesn't transp ...more |

Not sure what that..."I think it means you're a realist! Most of by books usually start with a tragedy, and though I usually have some form a tragedy in the end, I will always leave you with something to smile about. I books that make me happy and sad, because it's real. Mix that with a little make believe, and I'm all in. So you're not alone, my friend. And that is why Sparks sells so many books, but I'm doing my darndest to catch up to him. Wish me luck! :)
Hi Carmen, thanks for the friendvite :) Yeah I really enjoyed Safe Haven, in fact one of the reasons I like Nicholas Sparks so much is because of the tragedy that usually ensues. Not sure what that says about me?
