Christmas Reading

I love to read.  Ever since I was little, I enjoyed a good book. I especially love reading Christmas books this time of year! Curled up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate and a crackling fire with a book is a great way to spend a cold winter day.

Here are some of my favorites and ones I can't wait to read:

Blue Christmas and Christmas Bliss by Mary Kay Andrews (sequels to her novels Savannah Blues and Savannah Breeze - LOVE this series!)

Winter Street, Winter Stroll, and Winter Storms by Elin Hilderbrand (my favorite author ever! All of her books take place on Nantucket and are GREAT beach reads. This series is perfect for Christmas!)
**Warning - there is another Elin Hilderbrand book called "Christmas on Nantucket". It is the SAME BOOK as Winter Stroll. For some reason they gave it a different name. Don't let it confuse you!

A Lowcountry Christmas by Mary Alice Monroe (A great South Carolina author!)

Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe and Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop by Jenny Colgan (Haven't read this yet but can't wait to! I LOVE Jenny Colgan, and both of these are sequels. Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe and Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop of Dreams are two amazingly sweet and engaging reads! I love all things warm and cozy and any of Jenny Colgan's books definitely fit that bill.

Festive Sweaters for the Holidays

Sweater Weather! As soon as the air gets a chill in it, we can't wait to break out our coziest sweaters. I can't wait to see what fun, festive styles brands have each year.  Here, I have collected some of my favorites this year. Nothing like a reindeer sweater to make running errands feel a little more like Christmas shopping :)
