Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! I think I’ll start it next!
Good luck Melissa! I have had My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories on my wishlist for the last 2 years, so hopefully this year I’ll get around to buying it and reading it. Great way to sample a few different authors. And such great ones too.
Hope you enjoy all your festive reads 🙂

Thanks Kim! Appreciate you hosting!
Oh, nice list! I’d like to read the book about Bob the cat; it’s on my list to read someday. And the Carla Kelly book looks good. Good luck!

Thanks Lily!
Good luck! I haven’t see that Bob book around, I’ll have to look for it. The romance anthology looks good too. Have fun!

It sounds like a cute read…but then cats and the holidays …can’t beat it!
I love the old Carla Kelly stories so hope its a nice starter for the challenge. You’ve got a good list going there. I’m into my first one, Holiday Temptations antho and loving it.
Good luck, Melissa!

I’m enjoying it so far…haven’t read a Regency romance since high school…so it’s taking me back! Good luck with your reading!
I’d be happy if I read even one more book this year. That might not be an exaggeration either. I just can’t seem to get myself going. Life has been sucky and for some reason reading isn’t a good escape for me this time.

Ugh…I know how you feel…I’ve been reading so slowly these days. I so much rather curl up on the couch with HGTV or The Hallmark channel lately!
I remember really liking the Rainbow Rowell short story from My True Love Gave to Me. Great list! Hope you are enjoying the reads.
I’m glad to see your progress is good. I haven’t read any of books you will, but I read some stories from My True Love Gave To Me last year. I plan to read the whole book this year, and reread ones I already read.
