Historical Romance Book Club discussion

This challenge is meant to help you climb your TBR Mountain and get those books finally read.



This our fourth and final quarter for this challenge this year. Our final theme will be something festive. Choose a book from your TBR that centers around or features a HOLIDAY or FESTIVAL.

HOW IT WORKS:
1) The first poster will post 5 book titles that they pick from their TBR shelf.

2) The next poster will choose 2 books from the first poster's titles and choose 5 book titles off their own TBR. The first poster will then choose to read at least 1 of the 2 books chosen.

3) The third poster will choose 2 from the second posters list .... and so on.

4) Each participant will have the entire quarter to read their book(s), post their rating and review. And tell us what you think of your book in this thread.

5) You are not limited to 1 time. You can return to select and post more options as often as it suits you.

Here are my five:

1) One Christmas With The Earl by Bethany M. Sefchick

2) Marian's Christmas Wish by Carla Kelly

3) The Last Chance Christmas Ball by Mary Jo Putney

4) Winter's Promise: A Festive Dark Ages Scottish Romance Novella by Jayne Castel

5) A Season of Love: A Christmas Anthology by Carla Kelly

I think we're all playing a bit of catch-up this month. I'm sure others will join closer to the end of year holidays. I just started reading Winter's Promise: A Festive Dark Ages Scottish Romance Novella.

I'm joining! I had forgotten that Q4 had started.

Darbella, I choose A Gentleman's Agreement (this one sounds like it'll be a sweet romance) and What Happens At Christmas (this one sounds like it'll be fun).


My five books are

1. Seduction on a Snowy Night by by Madeline Hunter, Sabrina Jeffries, Mary Jo Putney

2. Christmas Angel by Jo Beverley.

3. The Laird’s Christmas Kiss novella by Anna Campbell.

4. At the Christmas Wedding by Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe, and Maya Rodale.

5. The Merry Viscount by Sally MacKenzie.

I have only 3 books in my tbr that match this festive theme. I am looking for another 2 books and will post my books as soon as I find those books.

Missy,

I choose for you:

The Laird’s Christmas Kiss
At the Christmas Wedding

My five:

1. A Michaelmas Wager by Emily Murdoch

2. The Spy Beneath the Mistletoe by Shana Galen

3. Deck the Halls With Love by Shana Galen

4. Her Every Wish by Courtney Milan

5. A Pirate for Christmas by Anna Campbell

Thanks, Joanna!

Joanna, I select Deck the Halls With Love and A Pirate for Christmas for you.

Here are my five:

1. A Cheyenne Christmas Homecoming

2. The Viscount's Christmas Temptation

3. A Marquess for Christmas

4. Once Upon a Winter's Eve

Thanks Priya!

I think no one else is joining.

Mariana, Can you select for me?

I would be happy to! I choose The Viscount's Christmas Temptation and Once Upon a Winter's Eve.

Thank you, Mariana!

Hope you enjoy!

I started reading Once Upon a Winter's Eve.

Finished reading Once Upon a Winter's Eve. An exciting fast paced story. It is a 4 star read for me. There is something the hero did and though he gave his reasons for it, it is difficult for me to forgive him completely. Otherwise this could have been a 5 star read.

That was quick! Second chance stories usually mean someone did something wrong. I shall have to give this one a try this holiday season.

It is a novella, so I finished it in a day!

I think Victoria Alexander has a good comedic style. That was my first by her years ago and I have enjoyed others since. All have tended to have a comedy of errors style.
