THIS WEEK'S RANDOM QUESTION:   Do you like all the holiday books turned to movies this time of year?


Happy last Monday of November! I hope all my USA friends had a blessed Thanksgiving. Though it was hectic around here with the two days of cooking and our church's annual bazaar, I finished Demise in Denim by Duffy Brown.

When Reagan Summerside turned the first floor of her old Victorian home into a consignment shop, she never imagined she’d be harboring a fugitive in her attic. But after a dead man is found in a bathtub and local lawyer Walker Boone is accused of doing the dirty deed, she suddenly has a new houseguest.

Having the lawyer who took her to the cleaners in her divorce settlement—and who has been getting under her skin ever since—in close proximity is enough to drive Reagan to distraction. For the sake of her sanity—and Walker’s freedom—they need to put their heads together to find out who is trying to get the lawyer out of the picture . . .

Love this series and can't wait until the new one comes out this spring.

As far as holiday books turned to movies, usually my limited reading time means I am catching them on film first. Hallmark Channel is my friend this time of year and their Countdown to Christmas is my favorite. I have so many on my DVR that I can't wait to sit and watch. Caught some good ones this weekend.

I love any genre of Christmas fiction, though romantic comedies are my go to genre because they tend to be lighter fare than what I read the rest of the time.

It's hard to believe the end of 2017 is fast approaching. Have you been able to whittle away that TBR pile? Did you participate in any reading challenges? Mine were a bust, but I still plan to sign up for one next year. A girl needs to have goals. What genre do you look for this time of year?

Happy reading!
