Screening for my 3rd grader. Might be a bit old for him but we'll see

Only two chapters in and we are already loving being back in the Heartwood Hotel world 🌳🤎🐁🐿️

This was a great read, but I started it wayyy too late. Didn't realize it's more of an Advent book. Will try it again next year.

Screening for my 3rd grader. Good so far!

Remembering why I only ever read the first book... Justice for Dora 🙃
One of the very few examples of the movies being better than the books, IMO.

This is much more of a WWI book than a Christmas book, but it's decently written so I'm soldiering on (pun intended)

The kids are really enjoying this... Glad we're reading it nearly last, so they appreciate all the origin stories.

We are loving doing this together!

Enjoying this via audiobook for the first time — narrated by Rachel McAdams, which is fun.

This is decent but I already watched the show (oops,) and the book seems to be pretty much exactly the same. Probably will move on for now and return once the details get fuzzy again

This is pretty good so far!

Loving diving back into this series, this time as a buddy read with my son!! 😍

Enjoying doing this for family time during Advent!

Ah this is much less annoying, now that I went back and read the one before it haha

Reading these little chapters on and off with my husband and we're both enjoying it!

Okay this is cute. True stories of answered prayers around Christmas time! Each chapter is stand-alone — interesting format.

Enjoying this so far! Part contemporary, part historical, and all circling around the well-known Christmas carol.

Cheesy Hallmark romance and characters that annoyed me. Not finishing

I think I read this way out of order, since I don't know who any of these characters are and most of them aren't introduced... Plus I'm almost halfway in and no real murder or mystery to speak of yet, so I'm calling it quits. Squeaky clean but I'm bored

This is cute so far! Not super deep but sweet, with a little humor thrown in

Ah, now see this I love. This is the Melody Carlson I was looking for.

Oops. Another Christmas Hallmark movie. Not gonna finish, since the setting wasn't grabbing me and neither were the characters.

This is exactly like reading a Hallmark movie. For better or worse haha
Definitely liked her A Quilt for Christmas better

I love Gabriel. The romance literature genre needs more Gabriels.

Bedtime read aloud to the big kids 📖 It's official, I still hate Uncle Andrew.
