Recommended Reads:


Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory: "It is no secret that Jasmine Guillory is the queen of romance and this is a great romance for the Holidays. Also, it takes place in the UK and deals with royals, how fun?!"

A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday: "If you’re in the mood for a Christmas story that takes place in New York but also takes you away to a country that makes you think of Genovia in The Princess Diaries, then this is the book for you. I loved the premise for this story and am excited to read the sequel, Duke, Actually, which was just released."

The Bridge by Karen Kingsbury: "This is a heartwarming Christmas story and love story that surrounds saving a local bookstore. This is sure to be a story you will want to return to each year."

Anticipated Titles!

The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan: "I’ve always wanted to read a Jenny Colgan book, so I’m excited to read this one!"

Always, In December by Emily Stone: "I’ll be reading this with some friends and it sounds perfect for the holiday season!"
