Do you have a favorite Christmas novel?

A good, lighthearted book can really put you in the holiday spirit. Each year I try to read one or two new Christmas novels. Most of the time the books I pick are what I call the "feel good" easy reading type books.The book club I belong to also picks a Christmas type book for our December meeting, so I have read quite a few books over the years.

In this lens I will share some of the Christmas novels I have enjoyed and also show my list for future reads.

Promise Me

Richard Paul Evans

I really enjoyed this latest book by Richard Paul Evans. It is a delightful story full of mystery that begins one Christmas Eve with a secret that is kept for 18 years till another Christmas Eve. Keeps you guessing.

Skipping Christmas

John Grisham

This book by John Grisham was made into a movie. It has a story that I can really relate to about a couple who decides to escape the business of the holiday season by going on a cruise. I love Christmas, but there are times when the cruise thought has crossed my mind. This book is full o f Grisham's twists and turns and makes a quick read during the busy holiday season.

Oops, forgot to mention, I'd be happy to join you on a Christmas cruise! I've had Christmas in snow country all my life. One year though, we had a bon fire going all of Christmas and it was so nice we didn't even need jackets. My sister was out there in her pink shorty pajamas.

Oh for the luxury of time to read! I might catch a movie version of a book while on the computer. These all look quite wonderful. I do get to read Christmas stories to my grandchildren, so I guess that counts.

Well, I go more for the stories ... "twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse ..."

I have read a couple of the books on your list and just picked up a few more at the library. I kind of immerse myself this time of year with Christmas books, movies, and music. :)
