"An absolutely perfect holiday hug."--New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren A one-of-a-kind Christmas market offers holiday magic in this new romance from the author of The Kindred Spirits Supper Club. With a name like Astra Noel Snow, holiday spirit isnt just a seasonal specialtyits a way of life. But after a stinging divorce, Astras yearly trip to the Milwaukee Christmas market takes on a whole new meaning. Shes ready to eat, drink, and be merry, especially with the handsome stranger who saves the best kringle for her at his family bakery. For Jack Clausen, the Julemarked with its snowy lights and charming shops stays the same, while the world outside the joyful street changes, magically leaping from one December to the next every four weeks. Hes never minded living this charmed existence until Astra shows him the life hes been missing outside of the festive red brick alley. After a swoon-worthy series of dates, some Yuletide magic, and the unexpected glow of new love, Astra and Jack must decide whether this relationship can weather all seasons, or if what theyre feeling is as ephemeral as marshmallows in a mug of hot cocoa.

My #ReadingBracket2023 🎉

This was so hard to narrow down as I read some truly wonderful books this year! My goal was to read 48 books this year, with more of them coming from ones I own. I ended up reading 49 books!

Disclaimer: a fair amount are children‘s books and graphic novels but read well over my goal - probably thanks to moving to a new area and having loads of time to myself. 🥂

Amiable I always look at the pages-read total rather than the book total -- so this is impressive my my opinion! Well done! 10mo

5/5 ⭐️ Team read for #CandyCaneCrushers #wintergames 🍭 I loved it! Christmas market romance with some magic and so many Wisconsin (my home state) references! This really made me miss kringle and wish I had ordered some to be shipped this year. (O & H Danish Bakery is my favorite!)

SUPER fun concept! Plenty of unexpected plot twists, and a beautiful romance between Jack and Astra. Still a pleasant Christmas read, but a little off the beaten track from the rest. #christmasromance

This was the perfect holiday read. A little romance, a little fantasy, and an adorable dog that lends to the fun shenanigans. I loved the world of the Julemarked and hope this isn't the last book by Reichert set in this world.

I think this was one of my team, #CandyCaneCrushers two Holiday Reads. Great choice! I'm so glad I read this.

ONCE UPON A DECEMBER features an excellent, much-loved dog. Casey feels a connection.

I enjoyed the book a lot. I‘ve seen people complain about the time displacement angle, but I thought it made sense and held together well. Add good characters and lots of holiday cheer and I‘m glad I read this (even though there was a fair bit of unnecessary repetition).

I must have put a hold on this holiday romance around Christmas, but it only just recently dropped into my library ebook borrows. Magical Christmas market disappears and reappears all over the world in a continual Christmas celebration. When it disappears, people don‘t remember it was there. The Kringle maker falls in love with a woman over 15 years, but she doesn‘t remember him from year to year. Corny, but sweet read.

Not my favorite holiday story. It was unique which made me think I‘d like it more than others. It jumped around in time and dimensions too much for me which made it a little confusing. The ending was satisfying though. ⭐️⭐️

Magically delightful, this book was everything I wanted it to be and more! Wonderfully written with characters that are so full of heart! If only magical Christmas markets existed…

Not the Christmas romance for me. I found it really hard to understand the time jumps and it wasn‘t until halfway through that I figured out what was going on. The characters were fun, though, and that‘s what kept me going.

Once Upon A December is a magically delightful read. It is a love story but it is also about strong family ties and epic friendships. Heartwarming and unique, funny and emotional, romance and magic,

This is almost a pan. I liked the concept, the magical realism of a Yule market only open from Dec 1-24 and then it disappears to reappear on Dec 1 somewhere else. But the romance and character development felt unbalanced and just didn‘t work for me.

Book 38 for #winterreadathon
For #holidayromancebingo this would work for time travel, character named that‘s holiday themed, or character obsessed with Christmas

This was very cute. The story of a woman who visits a yearly Christmas market that has a magical secret. There she meets a charming baker each year. Though predictable and very much a Hallmark movie set-up, it was still a nice listen. 3.5⭐️
#bookspinbingo - another bingo!

I just did not like this book. I think it had amazing potential, the whole idea behind it was great. However, other than the idea, there wasn't much I liked. I was able to finish it though, but I almost bailed on it in the first 30%
