Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to break out the mistletoe, cozy up with a soft blanket, grab your favorite beverage, and dive into some romantic Christmas reads or series. A quick warning: you might want to keep some tissues handy—these stories are sure to tug at your heartstrings!
Without further ado, here are thirteen (or a "baker’s
dozen") of my favorite and most memorable Christmas reads.
1. THE CHRISTMAS SHOES SERIES
Author Donna VanLiere has an eleven book Christmas Hope series which is wonderful. I've read them all and thoroughly enjoyed them. Six of the eleven books made my list. You could read each book as a standalone, but you'll enjoy the series more of you read them in order.

The Christmas Blessing (Christmas Hope Book #2)
The Christmas Secret (Christmas Hope Book #5)
The Christmas Town (Christmas Hope Book #9)
The Christmas Star (Christmas Hope Book #10)

2. BOOKS BY AUTHOR COURTNEY WALSH
Christmas wouldn't be complete without a couple of author Courtney Walsh's books.

3. BOOKS BY AUTHOR RICHARD PAUL EVANS
A Christmas reading list should have some books by the King of Christmas Mr. Richard Paul Evans. Here are two of my favorites. Warning: You may need some Kleenex while reading these.
The Mistletoe Promise
The Noel Diary
4. BOOK BY AUTHOR TERRI BLACKSTOCK
Best-selling suspense author Terri Blackstock wrote a charming page-turning Christmas novel that still lives in my memory.
5. BOOK BY AUTHOR SARAH MONZON
Sarah Monzon is a new-to-me author, and I found this holiday read delightful.

6. BOOK BY AUTHOR ROSEANNA M. WHITE
For all my historical lovers I didn't forget about you. Roseanna M. White's new Christmas novella Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor is romantic and charming.

Did any of my Christmas reads make your list? Any I missed? I'd love to know.
Reading is an adventure,

Donna VanLiere is the only one I had not heard of. I love Courtney Walsh's books, and I enjoyed Sarah Monzon's as well. I am so far behind on Roseanna White's.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Donna VanLiere's books. They are ones that stay with you long after you closed the book.
DeleteIt's always fun to have favorite authors (Courtney, Sarah and Rosanna) in common. I need to play catch up on Roseanna's books as well.
