Faking Christmas

Title: Faking Christmas

Series: Christmas Escape #3

Author: Cindy Steel

Narrator: Justis Bolding

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Faking Christmas is technically a part of the Christmas Escape series, but each book stands alone. Overall, I enjoyed Justis Bolding's narration. I didn't like her voice for Chloe, Olive's sister, I felt like it was too manly.

Wishing for Mistletoe

Title: Wishing For Mistletoe

Series: Love on Sanctuary Shores

Author: Robin Lee Hatcher

While Wishing for Mistletoe is part of a series, each novel is standalone, written by different authors, and set on the same island.

Five Stolen Rings

Title: Five Stolen Rings

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell

Narrators: Rylee Kuberra & John Rogers

Publisher: Audible Audio

Genre: Christmas RomCom, Contemporary Romance,

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

Five Stolen Rings was a lot of fun. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook, even though I really didn't like the male narrator's narration. I felt like he came across harshly all the time and he didn't do the female voices very well. The female narrator did a fantastic job.

Christmas Reading Challenges 2025

I know, I know, I said I was tired of challenges, and I am, BUT, hear me out. I am tired of the ones I am already working on, I'm not tired of Christmas yet 😂. I am going to read Christmas books anyway, I might as well support some fellow bloggers 😁. So, I am going to try to finish up my other challenges this month, so that I can clear the deck to read as many Christmas books as my heart desires. This year has been super hard and I am looking forward to the hope/happy feels that Christmas reads generally bring.

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

 Title: Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

Series: Oakley Island #3.5

Author: Emma St. Clair & Jenny Proctor 

Publisher: Independently Published 

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, RomCom, Christmas

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love is a quick visit back to the characters of Oakley Island. It's labeled as a Christmas romance, but very little of the story has to do with Christmas. It's a fun second-generation story.

Mistletoe Season

Title: Mistletoe Season

Authors: Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, Pepper Basham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Chrsitmas

Source: Library

My Review:

Mistletoe Season has three Christmas novellas in it. I had not read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I have loved several books by Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. I went into it thinking I could skip a story if I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't necessary because all three stories are wonderful.

Top Ten Tuesday- Christmas Tree Edition

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is another freebie. I was going to go with covers with Christmas lights on them, but since I found exactly zero, I decided I should head in a different direction. Then I decided to share my top Christmas reads, until I realized I did that last year. So, I am going super generic and will be sharing books with Christmas trees on them. Then I am going to list a few things I am thankful for. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.   

Top Ten Tuesday-Ten Christmas books with Christmas trees on them that I haven't read yet, have you?

My Review:

Rediscovering Christmas is my first introduction to Mindy Obenhaus' writing. While this book is the sixth in the series, it easily stands alone.
