This time of year, I start to get excited about Christmas. I start watching Christmas movies on TV. And I look for Christmas books to read. It helps me get in the mood for the holiday season.
Here are a few new Christmas books that came out this year. I haven’t read any of them yet, but these have received good reviews and they sound great! I hope you find something in this list to help you read your way towards the holidays.
An Amish Family Christmas: A Charmed Amish Life Christmas Novel
– Grief, secrets and second chances are at the core of this new story in the Charmed Amish Life series. I know my friends who adore Amish fiction and Amish life will enjoy this book. And maybe discover a new series!
A Baxter Family Christmas
– A new story in the ongoing Baxter family saga. This one looks at redemption after tragedy at the holidays. I’ve never read a Baxter family story before, but this one sounds amazing. This is top of my holiday reading list!
Because of Bethlehem: Love Is Born, Hope Is Here
– I love reading Max Lucado because he makes familiar Bible stories fresh and new. Help freshen up your holiday season by reading Lucado’s take on the Biblical Christmas story.
Christmas Comes to Main Street (The Briar Creek Series)
– fiesty competition may lead to love in this story of a big city fella and a small town baker in a holiday contest. This one sounds fun!
Christmas on My Mind (A Cowboy Christmas)
– Apparently this one came out in hardcover this past spring, and just released in paperback in September. Cowboy Sheriff takes an interest in town newcomer. Is it because her family members have a shaky relationship with the law, or is it because there is something special about this woman? Part of a series.
Eggnog Murder
– A set of three holiday-themed mysteries. Short stories join long-running series starring Lucy Stone, Hayley Powell and Julia Snowden (Maine Clambake series). I love collections like this because it lets readers try a taste of three series with which they might not be familiar.
The Christmas Town
– A former foster child, now grown up, longs for a sense of home somewhere in her life. I love stories like this! A new story from the author of The Christmas Shoes and the Christmas Hope series.
Twelve Days of Christmas: A Christmas Novel
– A woman blogs her efforts to thaw the grinchy heart of her neighbor. But when things start to warm between them, can she tell him the world has been reading about her efforts online? Debbie Macomber is a holiday staple, turning out a new Christmas story regularly. Check out this year’s offering!!
We Need A Little Christmas (Evergreen Lane Novels)
– A grieving young woman is thrown together with her high school crush as she goes through her grandmother’s belongings. When she is done with her grandmother’s estate, will she leave everything – and everyone behind her?
So, which of those sound great to you?!
