The Christmas Spirit by Debbie Macomber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

#FirstLine - "Nana, Nana, "we're here, " eight-year-old Lance shouted, as he raced into the house ahead of his six-year-old sister.

I loved this books so much. Dare I say that Macomber is the queen of Christmas?!?!?! I think she really gets to the heart of the holiday season through her beautiful stories. It does not feel like Christmas until I read one of her amazingly sweet and heartwarming stories of the season. This year I needed a dose of Christmas in October!!! Who can blames me??? Christmas is the best and Macomber's books are sheer joy!!! The Christmas Spirit is a book about remembering what it is like to fall in love and what the Christmas holiday is all about. This story captures what it means to have faith and to truly believe in something greater than ourselves. A must read holiday story!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was something special. Picoult always knows how to create a story that resonates wit readers. She knows how to develop characters, flesh out a story and pace it in way that make the book hard to out down. Mad Honey was all those things and so much more. You cannot help but be drawn into the story and care deeply about what is happening. It was such a delight and a book I recommend!

#FirstLine ~ The twins were here one minute, gone the next.

This book has it all. I cannot even begin to capture all the things that take place in this book and as the story unfolds over one years time. You are taken into the life of the Alvarado family and experience a lot of ups and downs with them. It is complicated and heartbreaking, hopeful and happy and everything in between. A must read!!!

A Limited Run by Karen McQuestion
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

#FirstLine - Meri walked into the convention hall, took off her sunglasses, and blinked at the great expanse of glass and light.

From page one I was hooked. McQuestion is so skilled at fleshing out characters, which creates a bond with the readers. In A LIMITED RUN, you are brought into the lives of actors asked to revisit their old TV show they all starred in two decades after the series conclusion…intriguing right!?!? That is not where the intrigue ends! This book is brilliant. You will be pulled into the story, both wanting to see how it ends while equally wanting to savor every page! I could see this book being made into a mini series! It was beautifully written, perfectly paced and the dialogue was spot on! A must read!!!
