December Reading 2025



Merry Christmas to Everyone! As I look forward to this month, I'm finding that I'm still counting my Blessings and Thanking God that He chose to spare my Grandson Nathan's life and is slowing restoring his body. Prayer Changes Things. Our whole family is Praising God from Whom ALL Blessings Flow. Have a Happy Holiday Season!



For Nathan:

My Review

Great list Anita. I'm noting your holiday books.


I'm happy to hear that your grandson is progressing in his recovery, still in my prayers.

Great list, Anita! I read Anne Stuart's Return to Christmas a few years ago. I liked it because it was set in Macy's in NYC. Even mentioned the wooden escalator.

I only now saw the post about your grandson. As you say God is good! Everything of the best for the festive season. It's going to be a strange one with all the appointments etc.

And I hope you have some great reading in between everything

Thank you, Sharon! I started my Christmas Reading list months ago. I wanted to make sure I would be able to get the books I wanted from the library.

Nathan was released from the hospital yesterday and will wear a neck brace for three months and have outpatient physical therapy. Thank you for your prayers. Prayer Changed Things.

Thank you, Michelle! We are all thankful for Nathan's recovery. God is very good! He was released from the hospital yesterday and I will be his transport to his physical therapy appointments.

Merry Christmas and enjoy your reading!

Thank you, Lieke!

I am a witness to prayer changing things. Such wonderful news about your grandson, Anita.

I’m looking forward to The Storm and hope you love Indulgence in Death. Happy reading!

Thank you, Jonetta! We all are trying to keep him from overdoing.
