Oh, what a book. I so enjoyed I'll Be Home for Christmas.

 It is a wonderful tale of two sisters that had never known that the other existed. That was until, while working on a school project, Tilly discovers that she is not only adopted, but has a sister in Ireland.

This is a touching tale showing the bonds of family and how far reaching they can be. And you might not even the most invisible ones mean more to someone else.

I liked Bella's Christmas Bake Off. I found it to be truly touching, but I have more of a dry sense of humor.  Many of the humorous moments I found to be more uncomfortable.

But, I did thoroughly enjoy the sentimental moments between Amy and Bella. The story had a strong base, interesting arc and a touching ending.

Sorry I have been on hiatus for a few days. My hubby and I went to Florida for a few days for his mother's surprise 80th birthday party. And while we were there we took a side trip to our favorite place on Earth Disney World where we enjoyed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and some much needed one on one time.

With him working the 911 Operations Center and the home business we just don't take as much couple time as we should.

But this past weekend we did and it was soooo good for us both emotionally and as a couple.

I adored The Christmas Cottage/Ever After by Samantha Chase.

These are two enchanting Christmas tales.

According to family legend. A couple who spends the night in The Christmas Cottage has love everlasting.

Ava has heard the legend her entire life and was trying to make everything about her first night of her marriage perfect. But. sometimes perfect isn't all it's cracked up to be. And your perfect man is the one who has been right in front of you the whole time.

Ava's best friend Lacey had heard the legend practically her entire life as well, but she doesn't believe in magic. But maybe she should believe, because it can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

I am always looking for a new author, series or genre to read. If you have a great recommendation please let me know.

Please do keep in mind that most of my reading is done through Netgalley, the library system and those items that are free on Amazon.com.
