As we usher in the holiday season, the excitement of picking the perfect book to cozy up with becomes paramount. Some notable titles that have caught my attention include 'One Big Happy Family' by Susan Mallery, a heartwarming tale that captures the joy of family, and 'A Merry Little Meet Cute' by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, a story brimming with charm and wit. If you're a fan of mysteries intertwined with festive spirit, 'Happy Holidays, Family Mystery' should definitely be on your list—a captivating read that keeps you guessing until the end. For romance enthusiasts, 'Wreck the Hall' by Tessa Bailey offers a delightful blend of humor and love, all set against a backdrop of holiday cheer. Also, keep an eye out for 'The Christmas Tree Farm' by Laurie Gilmore, a magical narrative that promises to transport you to a winter wonderland. Each of these selections not only exemplifies the spirit of the holidays but also provides readers with an engaging escape during this festive period. What holiday books have you been eyeing? Whether it's a romantic novel or a heartwarming family story, there's a perfect read out there for everyone! Don't forget to check out #holidaybookhaul and #holidaybookrecs for more recommendations and to share your favorites with fellow book lovers!

one big happy family was a cute story!

I’m currently reading ‘The Christmas Tree Farm.’ It’s such a good read so far. I have enjoyed all of the Dream Harbor books so far. Laurie Gilmore is such a great writer imo.
