Top Ten Tuesday – Enchanting Christmas Reads

Necee here today with another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

As we approach Christmas, I look forward to mixing in lighthearted Christmas reads with a warm message of friends, family, faith, and a dash of romance. I admit I love Christmas movies, towns that seem like snow globes, and the enchantment of romance during this season. So my Top Ten Tuesday, with a Freebie theme for this week, is centered around enchanting Christmas reads. Most I’ve read, but there are a few I’m reading this holiday.

Of course, these are only a few favorite Christmas …

Top Ten Tuesday: Holiday Reads (Books I’m going to love reading during the holiday season)

Welcome to this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. As is my tendency, I’ve tweaked this week’s topic – Holiday Reads (Books you love reading during the holiday season) – as is my habit, if the topic doesn’t quite work for me. I don’t read for a particular season, and I’m not a big reader of Christmas stories, so today I’m serving up some of the books I plan to read during the Christmas period, for me that’s December and January, which is Australia’s summer break.

Four of these books are yet to …
