I enjoy reading holiday books — but not during the holidays when everything is crazy. Well, I do — but those are the little short things — those wee books you get (usually as a gift) that are a sweet story or collection of short essays. I’ll focus on the holiday things a little bit earlier — October, maybe.

In fact, coming soon is a post about such a book and how it is reframing my holiday thinking! Maybe after the weekend!

Just last night, I finished Things I Want My Daughter to Know. It was my first Elizabeth Noble book, but it won’t be my last. The book didn’t grab me right away, but as I kept reading I found myself loving and caring about each and every character. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and hope that you are liking it too. I look forward to reading your review when you finish the book. Have a great weekend!

I’m not really one for holiday-themed reading either, but ‘Little Women’ is a nice book to read around Christmastime (and it’s one I’ve been meaning to re-read for a while now)

Sadly though, I’ve never read books under the fragrance of evergreen trees, because our Christmas tree is 100% plastic!

I am reading so much for school right now it is not even funny. I dont think that I could list them if I tried. BUT! I decided that this semester I would read one thing always, of my own choice, just for fun. So that book for me right now is Suite Francais. IT is unbelievable. I cannot put it down.

Perhaps you might alternate the very new with the very familiar, or with a classic you haven’t read that. I find that that keeps the reading experience fresh for me.

Sometimes, it’s just as hard to pick the next one after a lousy book, too. I wasn’t impressed with Mathematics of Love by Emma Dawson and can’t decide what to pick up next…

First I must thank you for holding the giveaway. I am thrilled to win, not one but two books! I gotta dance, I think.

*grin*

You know after finishing The Heretic’s Daughter, I couldn’t read for a while. Sometimes certain books have so much impact that finding another good book seems impossible.

However, now I got The 19th Wife, Bel Canto, Sinai Tapestry to choose from. All are good books.

PS: I will email you rightaway!
