Happy Holidays! Christmas Book Reviews: Christmas is for Children, Alfie the Christmas Cat, Just in Time for Christmas, It Happened One Christmas Eve #BookReview #Audiobook #20BooksForChristmas #2022AudiobookChallenge #BeatTheBacklist2022

Well, I did it. With still 14 days until the end of the month, I completed my 20 Books for Christmas 2022. Alfie the Christmas Cat was my 9th backlist book and 20th book on the original list. Of course, I didn’t stop at 20 and there are three more books reviewed her that are set at Christmas, making my total of Christmas stories since the beginning of October, 38. Will I make it to 40??

Happy Holidays! More Christmas Book Mini-Reviews: Let It Snow, A Match Made at Christmas, A Highlander’s Holiday Wife #BookReview #Audiobook #20BooksForChristmas #2022AudiobookChallenge

I am continuing to enjoy Christmas stories and only have one more to read for my 20 Books for Christmas Challenge. Let It Snow by Sue Moorcroft is #19, while A Match Made For Christmas and The Highlander’s Holiday Wife make #14 and #15 on the extra list. I can’t believe I have read 34 Christmas stories since the beginning of October. These three are so different from each other, but all were enjoyable and I am glad I picked them up.

Happy Holidays! A few more Christmas book reviews: A Wish for Winter, Once Upon a Royal Christmas, A Very Merry Bromance & The Christmas Hummingbird #BookReview #Audiobook #20BooksForChristmas @HarperAudio

Wow, Christmas is less than three weeks away, and I have been impressed with the bumper crop of Christmas and Holiday stories published this year. Between my Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon and 20 Books For Christmas, I have read over 30 books this year, some backlist, but most published this year. This latest group were almost all listened to and the audiobooks were all well done. Although one of these is somewhat predictable, I enjoyed them all and they brought me the warm, cozy, feeling I enjoy with my Christmas reading.

Novella November – Christmas Novellas Mini-Reviews: On the Way to Christmas (The Christmas Do-Over, Dashing Through the Snow, A Perfectly Splendid Christmas), Resting Scrooge Face, Naughty But Nice #BookReview #Novella #NovNov #HoHoHoRat2022

I read several Christmas Novellas in November, but didn’t a chance to post reviews. Better late than never. One book was an anthology with 3 novellas, and two were individual books. I enjoyed them all, some more than others. They also helped me with my goals during both 20 Books for Christmas and Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon.

Christmas/Winter Book Mini-Reviews: Christmas in Vermont, Mistle Text, The Christmas Lights, Orphan in the Snow #BookReview #20BooksForChristmas #HoHoHoRat #BeatTheBacklist2022

I am continuing to enjoy Christmas stories as I prepare for the Christmas Season. I am participating in 20 Books for Christmas, as well as the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon, so was able to read or listen to several this week. A couple of these were not really Christmas, but more winter themed, but they were already on my list. Some are also backlist books, so I am actually ticking off 3 lists with one book. In the #20BooksForWinter these are #16, #17, and #18. One was not on that list.

Saturday Morning for Kids – Christmas Addition: Cat’s Don’t Like Christmas, First Steps, First Snow, Little Bird Finds Christmas #BookReview #Children #PictureBooks

This meme was started by Rae Longest at Powerful Women Readers. As I am a grandmother, who loves to read to her grandchildren, a mother who loved to read to and with her children, and a retired teacher librarian, this meme really attracted me.
