Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. If you’re missing being able to travel this year, then this Christmas read is for you! Christmas in Three Quarter Time by Rachel McMillan immerses you in a Viennese Christmas complete with Christkindl markets, Sachertorte, and a man who rescues a bunny. It’s simply delightful!
Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week is a Christmas/Holiday freebie, so I’m listing ten Christmas romances I’ve got my eye on. All these romances (with the exception of Mimi Matthews’ A Holiday by Gaslight) are 2020 releases, and I’ve already read three of them (Christmas in Three Quarter Time, The Holiday Husband, and A Holiday by Gaslight), but I’m hoping to make my way through a few more before we reach Christmas!
Annie made a holiday wish to be reunited with the one who got away.
She should’ve been more specific…
Museum curator Annie Bristow has spent years regretting a marriage proposal she turned down from her college sweetheart. When a fateful ride on a holiday train gives Annie the opportunity to make it right, she wishes for a do-over. She wants to go back and say yes to her one true love. Who better than a twinkly-eyed Mrs. Claus to make it happen? What could possibly go wrong?
Getting a second chance at love should’ve been a dream come true. But when Annie wakes up married to the wrong ex-boyfriend, she’ll have to pretend to be Mrs. Holden Thomas until the holiday train returns on Christmas Day. She’s determined to find a way to reunite with the right true love, but obstacles keep foiling her efforts.
Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. Any time a new Jenny B. Jones book lands is a day for rejoicing! I love the humour in her books, and I was sooooo in the mood for a fun contemporary romance this week. This one fit the bill perfectly! Any other Jenny B. Jones fans out there?
Happy Tuesday, reader friends, and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. Today we’re talking about holiday reads, or as I’ve tweaked it for today, Christmas-Themed Reads. I have a wide selection for you today, from Bodie & Brock Thoene’s Fourth Dawn, which is a fictional retelling of the birth of Christ, right through to historical and contemporary Christmas novellas and even an adrenaline-packed Discarded Heroes novella from Ronie Kendig. Plenty of Christmas reading for you to choose from!
Embrace the magic of the Christmas season with these contemporary twists on timeless tales.

Happy Friday, book lovers, and welcome to First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books. My current read is a great pick in the lead up to Christmas: The End of the Magi by Patrick W. Carr. I can’t wait to see what he’s done with the story of the Magi!
