Good to know you are still on the list too. While I don't usually read holiday books, I do get a yearning for old favorites. Years ago I read a wonderful nonfiction book about a couple and their six children who lived on an island off the Washington coast. The last name of the author was Combs, I think, and it's something I'm going to look for this morning on BARD and bookshare. Hope I find it. Good holiday reading.

Lol. Hope you are feeling better. I've started my christmas reading and so far I've read:: the christmas Promise By donna Vanliere The christmas List By Richard Paul Evans and A Virgin River christmas By Robyn Carr. This time of year I always take a break from reading my usual fare in order to focus on the holidays so until January I will be mostly reading holiday related novels with one exception. I'm currently reading a large print book called Treasures and it is written by Belva Plain. Hope everyone is enjoying what they are reading.
