Hi, everyone! I received my shipment of holiday books today. I will be submitting "Tidings Of Peace," by Tracie Peterson, "Christmas Every Morning," by Lisa Tawn Bergren, and another one which is a collection of Christmas stories written by Louisa May Alcott. Thanks, Mike, for letting everyone know that "Seasons Of Love" is now available. I haven't read it yet, but "Shepherds abiding," by Jan Caron, should be another good Christmas read. Any other favorites?
