Abigail Sharpe (abigailsharpe) | 2010 comments Thanks, Roberta! The newsletter went out, but I'm adding that to my watchlist.


SB*needs low angst books* A Christmas book I really enjoy that was a twist on how Santa and his elves was Santa's Executive (Holiday, Montana, #2) by Carrie Ann Ryan . It had some steam, some sweet, and a villain to defeat.

Suebob16 | 1 comments I know it's the new year now, but I wanted to list some movies I've enjoyed over the past holiday season.

Halloween:
Hallmark Channel's Pumpkin Pie Wars (2016) - This movie will make you hungry for pumpkin pie! It's also nice to see the couple for once not get into a misunderstanding that tears them apart. It's actually their mothers that need to rekindle their friendship.

Christmas:
The Holiday (2006) - A house-swapping tale. What can you say when you've got Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black, and the great Eli Wallach in one movie? It's a beautiful production to look at and the cast is fun to watch.

Debbie Macomber's Trading Christmas (2011) - Another house-swapping tale with three different relationship stories involving a widow (Faith Ford), her best friend who is divorced, and the widow's college-aged daughter. I haven't read the book, but I get the impression the TV-movie handles the details better. For me the most fun moments involved Tom Cavanagh and his run-ins with Gabrielle Miller as Faith Ford's friend.

A Christmas Kiss II (2014) - The second in the kiss in the elevator holiday movies and another enjoyable TV holiday romance. I liked that Jenna and Cooper were people with relatable good looks instead of resembling fashion models. Nice moments with Jonathan Bennett as Jenna's platonic best friend Sebastian.

Thanks for the list. Things to look forward to.

Elizabeth Doherty (edohertyauthor) | 8 comments My favorite holiday movie will always be It's A Wonderful Life, but I like Love Actually and Muppet Christmas Carol too.
