First up, YA!

10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston

This is such a delightful book! I loved how her family played a big role in the story, and I can't recommend this book enough.

All Wrapped Up (Geek Girl #1.5) by Holly Smale

I smiled so much while reading this book, and if you're already a fan of the Geek Girl books, this is a must read.

All I Want for Christmas by Wendy Loggia

As I'm writing this post, I'm in the middle of reading this book, and it's such a cute read!

Snow in Love by Various Authors

My favorite story in this book is Kasie West's book, but all of it is good! Plus, it has a Hanukkah story in it!

This book features not just Christmas stories, but a bunch of holidays that take place in Winter! I love this collection, and I can't pick just one favorite!

Now, Adult!

Dashing Through the Snow by Debbie Macomber 

One of my favorite Debbie Macomber books! This movie is super cute, too! (Though very different from the book!)

A Princess for Christmas by Jenny Holiday

A very fun romance! I love when royalty is in books.

Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

I love Sophie Kinsella books, and this one is so festive and fun!

A Christmas to Remember by Jenny Hale

I loved this book! It felt just like a Hallmark movie (A big compliment!)!

When Christmas Comes by Debbie Macomber 

My favorite Debbie Macomber Christmas book, mostly because it is the book that one of my favorite Hallmark movies is based on! :)

Christmas Picture Books 2016!

As you probably know by now, I love Picture Books! No matter how old you are they're still fun to read. Every Christmas my Mom and I read a bunch of them together, and I love it! I thought it would be fun today to share three of my favorites! :)

We read more than just these, but these are probably our top three! But I also have The Night Before Christmas, which I've had for years, that we read on Christmas Eve, which is a tradition I love! :)

What about you? What are your favorite Christmas Picture Books? :)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, while remembering why we really celebrate this holiday! :)

Merry Christmas!!!!!!! :)

Marvelous Musical Friday: 2014 Christmas Edition!

I did a Christmas music post last year, and I thought it would be fun to do another Christmas music post this year! (All the songs from last years list are favorites, too!) :)

And yes, I know it isn't Friday, but I didn't get the post done in time. But Christmas music is always good, isn't it? :)


I really love Pentatonix's Christmas album, here are three of my favorites from it!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by Pentatonix
I love their version of the song! :)

Winter Wonderland/Don't Worry, Be Happy by Pentatonix
Winter Wonderland is my Mom's favorite Christmas song, and we both love this version of it! :)

Mary, Did You Know? by Pentatonix
This is a favorite of mine, and I don't hear new versions of it that often. Theirs is very pretty! :)

This Christmas by Lady Antebellum
Love! :)

All I Want For Christmas is You by Idina Menzel
Very fun! :)

Believe by Josh Groban
A Favorite song from The Polar Express! :)

Carol of the Bells by Celtic Woman
Last year I featured BarlowGirl's version of this song, and this year I'm loving this version, too! :)
