During the busy holiday season, I reach for a good book as a way to de-stress and unwind. Jaci Burton’s Kent family series (All She Wants for Christmas, A Rare Gift, and The Best Thing) is a particular favorite of mine. Each novella is part of Carina Press’s annual Holiday anthology, but they can be purchased individually. And because I also enjoy some smokin’ hot male/male lovin’ too (yes I like my books both naughty & nice ;)), I have to include K.A. Mitchell’s Wish List in my list of favorite holiday stories. This novella is part of the Red Hot Holiday anthology, but it can also be purchased individually as well. (Click on the book titles for more information.)

Probably Summit City Christmas by Ethan Day. You’d probably have to read the other two books in the series first though. I just love Boone, hehe.
Happy holidays, Kathy ^.^

My current favorite is Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor by Lisa Kleypas. I like the small town community it’s based in.

My favorite holiday book is The Present by Johanna Lindsey. It’s an oldie but a goodie. There’s nothing like a good Malory family story!
I can’t think of a specific favorite one, except that I have Regency Christmas Anthologies that are oldies but goodies favorites.

It sad to say but at this very moment I can’t think of one. Man that is sad. It’s just been a really not great week and I’m trying to de-stress right now.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I read A Christmas Story by Jean Shepard again last year. I think I’ll make it a new holiday tradition, because I love it so. Thank you!
I don’t have a favorite holiday book. But I do like the holiday themed anthologies that comes out every year.

One of my favorites is Maybe This Christmas, a novella by Jane Blackwood in the Jingle All the Way anthology. It’s a terrific second-chance story, and I reread it at least once a year 🙂
A Christine Feehan Holiday Treasury is my fav so far!
