This was such a good collection of stories to get me in the Christmas spirit! I had the privilege of reading last Christmas’s book (<a href="https://travelingwife4life.wordpress.com/2019/12/16/amish-christmas-bakery-celebration-lit/">An Amish Christmas Bakery</a>) by this collection of authors (Vanetta Chapman is new though) and truly fell in love with each author’s unique writing style. While not interconnected each story brings hope and warmth into my mind and I hope you will like them too!

<b>Evergreen Love</b> by Amy Clipston – I so enjoyed this story filled with mishaps, love, and second chances. Ryan and Lorene both show growth as characters and a sweet desire to learn from their previous experiences. They were fun to get to know and they showed a great look at forgiveness and the importance of communication!

<b>Holiday of Hope</b> by Kelly Irvin – This story was adorably sweet and heartfelt. I loved Henry’s journey, his special patience with his nephew (especially how he took it all in seamless stride not trying to force things), and his dedication to his first wife and subsequent openness to second chances. Leesa was also a very interesting character whom I rooted for from the beginning. I loved her courage, strength, and willingness to help others; even when it was outside her comfort zone. Overall, I loved the sweet romance in this book and enjoyed Kelly Irvin’s descriptions of deep snow Montana life.

<b>Wreathed in Joy</b> by Kathleen Fuller – I loved this friends to more gone awry story! Definitely one of my favorite sub-genres and Kathleen Fuller nails it. Mary and Jakob are sweet and the best of friends until a sad misunderstanding changes everything. But I enjoyed watching them banter and rekindle their friendship. It was full of sweet moments, memories, and the courage to try again. A great reminder to always give people second chances. Such a sweet story and I loved the ending.

<b>A Christmas Prayer </b> by Vannetta Chapman – Ever had the feeling that life is not going where you planned? Well, Rachel and Micah’s story is definitely one you will like. It was like ‘watching Rachel bloom’ as Micah so eloquently put it. I loved Micah’s caring nature, his use of Cloe (a Beautiful lab

So I am a pretty emotional human being. Sad movies and depressing people are usually the type of things I stay away from. I don't believe I cried over a book ever in my life until I read this one. I kid you not, I sat in a CVS parking lot crying and the poor guy in the car next to me didn't have any clue why! Overall I really enjoyed this book.

Anything 80's can't be too bad
Ernest Cline's futuristic novel references back to the 80's in many ways. The story of a kid in 2044 tied to a virtual world called OASIS has the chance to win the grand prize if he can beat the thousands of others to solve it. Love the references used through out the book and the culture of it. Great read, couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it.

Unusual, descriptive, horrors of war
While I feel a lot of the descriptions about the genocide of Native Americans was grotesque, Barry's other descriptions was rich and beautiful especially describing the relationship between John and Thomas. It is a love story within the context of war. It is uncommon because it describes a homosexual relationship in a very natural way and also talks about the protagonist's desire to be a woman in terms of the historic backdrop.

Mindless easy watch
This film is limited in terms of story - a group of superheroes work together to try to save the world - again. It's action-packed with comedy moments showing how the heroes struggle to work together. I still love Mark Ruffalo the best as the Hulk, because he's not an over actor, even as a giant green hunk of meat. Relaxing watch, don't expect poetic dialogue.

This is a great book!!! I couldn't put it down, it was such an easy read. And I wanted to see if Cole would fall in love with Penelope. I really like the characters, and where the story headed. Even the sub characters were great. I will note that there wasn't too many erotica scenes, but the book didn't need it. I'd definitely recommend this book to all my friends.

I reviews this book through Netgalley.

For me this was not a good film to watch despite the amazing grathics and robotics used in the film the story seemed to just run away from what i grow to love about the films. the film to me seemed like it was done because they had to do more then is it a gd idea.
and to top it off the cloneing of the young girl it was somthing i wish they never even consonplated

Audiobook: Stephen Fry’s excellent book narrated expertly.
I love Stephen Fry’s voice, and he reads his book so well. There’s great detail and great story choices. I’m a big fan of Greek mythology anyway, ever since I was a child, and this is a superb way to revisit those stories. It’s a great selection, I really enjoyed his take on the stories and what he added to the dialogue of the Gods, Goddesses and unfortunate humans.

after reading some mixed reviews, I thought id give it a go. the book is full of steamy scenes. the author made the book fun, sexy with a very interesting plot line. the relationship between the characters moves from lust to love throughout the book. the story line is believable and very realistic which made this book a easy read. looking forward to many more books from this author
