Lets Curl Up and Get Comfy!
Believe it or not, I have a shelf full of just Christmas novels. Some I will re-read and others I will sit through just once and then pass it along. But, you just never know when you are going to find the perfect holiday book to add to your collection... so you keep on looking. :)

Snowy Night with a Stranger
Amazon Price: $0.99 (as of 05/30/2012)
I'm curled up by the fire with this particular book. Just stopped long enough to tell you about it. Actually, there are three individual stories within the book... so the story moves quickly. :)
*Just finished the first of the three stories. Nice but a little too predictable. I was expecting a major problem to creep up and it didn't. :(
*Just finished the second of the three stories. Loved it and learned something new. Did you know that there was a game called Snap-Dragon that was played in Victorian times that involved a bowl of burning brandy. I'm working on a lens about it as we speak.
