pickAbby gets volun-told to organize a Hanukkah festival to compete with area Christmas festivals but needs help. When she finds out the only other Jewish person nearby is her annoyingly sunny customer Seth, she begrudgingly asks for his help. He agrees in exchange for her pretending to be his girlfriend so his mom stops worrying. They spend Hanukkah with his parents in NYC so Abby can hunt for festival vendors & grow to understand each other better.
Thank you Christine for the cute card featuring the Yule Cat (if you haven‘t seen the Icelandic Air ads with Yule Cat go find them right now and enjoy!). The info sheet about Yule customs is also such fun! @thebacklistbook and @TheBookHippie #yuleseasonswap
so-soAstra is on her annual girls trip to the Milwaukee Christmas Market where she meets Jack who works at his family bakery. What she doesn‘t know, she‘s met Jack multiple times before, but the magic of the Christmas Market makes her forget each time… until this year when everything is different.
Overall it was a cute story but the characters tended to over-complicate things and the over-explaining of simple or unnecessary details drove me nuts.
One of my new resolutions is getting back to my 10,000 steps a day so I need my kindle to help me reach my step and reading goals this year. #2of2026
pickI loved Beat and Melody! This was a perfect holiday read filled with swoon worthy romance!
