Happy holidays to all those who are celebrating this time of year! No post on Tuesday due to Christmas. After that, it’s my favorite time of the year — book surveys and challenge roundups!

Disappointing Holiday Romances
I enjoy romance novels year-round, but something about the holiday season just gives me a hankering for themed romance books. I’ve read some great ones, like His Road Home by Anna Richland (a Thanksgiving novella about a disabled war veteran and a doctor) or Season for Surrender by Theresa Romain (a bookish historical about a two-week Christmas party), but this…… Continue reading Disappointing Holiday Romances

The…… Continue reading Christmas Books Y’all Recommended Last Year (with bonuses!)
Doctor Who Review: “Last Christmas”
I guess we’d better talk about the Doctor Who Christmas special. Major spoilers. There’s a lot to like here. We’ve had some stinkers of Christmas specials, and frankly I get sick of Christmas if I’m rewatching the new series because it’s Christmas every eight episodes or so. I liked this one, though, because it felt very much…… Continue reading Doctor Who Review: “Last Christmas”
