Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! Can you believe it’s the last Friday before Christmas? That being the case, I have a special Aussie themed Christmas book for you this Friday: An Aussie Night Before Christmas by Yvonne Morrison.
Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! I have a great little read for you today if you’re looking for a Christmas novella. Jenny B. Jones is one of my favourite authors when I’m looking for a healthy dose of humour in my story, and this one delivers on that and more. You can read my full review here. But for now, I give you the first line of His Mistletoe Miracle.
He needs a fake girlfriend. She needs a holiday miracle. After years as a hostage in Afghanistan, wounded journalist Will Sinclair retreats to idyllic Sugar Creek, Arkansas, to finish his…

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! It’s December, which means Christmas is just around the corner. It also means that here in Australia, we’ve officially reached summer. I’ll be the first to admit that I much prefer warm weather to cold, but there’s a part of me that really wants to have a white Christmas one of these years. So when I saw that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl was Cozy/Wintery Reads, I couldn’t help but think of all the Christmas novellas with gorgeous wintery covers that inspire my inner Bing Crosby.

~ About the Book ~ One blizzard. Two friends. Three days to fall in love. Lifelong islander Brooke Kane doesn’t know what to do with her college degree, her dreams, or her future, but she knows better than to venture far from home when there’s a storm brewing.

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! I’ve discovered a new author recently, thanks to Rachel McMillan, and she’s just released a Christmas novella—perfect for those who’d like to get a taste of her writing. Mimi Matthews writes Victorian romances for the general market (clean), often with slightly Gothic overtones (although not so much in this novella), and I loved A Holiday by Gaslight. In fact, if you’re a fan of Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South, you’ll find quite a few nods to that story here. You can check out my full review here.
