Love her books and have worn out numerous paperback sets. I gift them often and treated myself a decade ago to a hardback set. :D

I'm reading 'the most they ever had' by Rick Bragg. Good book about some of the hard working people who made America great. :smilecc:

I had to go to the library to pick up a book for my dd, and while browsing the children's section I found a book called 'The Family Under The Bridge' by Natalie Savage Carlson. If you are in the mood for some very light reading with vivid descriptions of Paris at Christmas time check it out. It has a really positive message too. :smilecc:

I'm reading 'A Marriage Carol' by Chris Fabry and Gary Chapman. A twist on the Dickens classic. :D

I am starting over again on the Sheryl Woods series of Chesapeake Shores series. Looking forward to the Hallmark show reruns next summer after I have finished the books.

Just finished ' A Shiloh Christmas' by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I loved the imagery of a simple, country Christmas. It's one of my new faves. :smilecc:
