Hi and Happy Holidays to you!

Since it’s the holiday season, I had decided to start reading “Holly and Ivy”, by Fern Michaels. It was a holiday gift from Jerry and I felt (and still do) that it was an appropriate choice of story to read before anything else on my list of books. I’ve been reading “Holly and Ivy” for a few days now.

“Holly and Ivy” starts out in Pine City, North Carolina. It deals with a family who ends up taking a flight and the wife ( Ivy) had to stay behind because she had to work at the time. Her husband, John Fine and their twin children Elizabeth and James went on the flight for the airline that Ivy’s father worked/owned and on the way to their destination, the Pilot crashes the plane. The accidental crash makes the news on TV. No one knows so far why the Pilot had crashed the plane 8 years ago.

Holly Greenwood and her two best friends, Kayla and Roxie are talking about wanting to be in the Christmas musical, but Holly’s father refuses to say why she isn’t allowed to practice and be in the musical. Holly has a lovely singing voice and sneaks out of the house to go see her singing teacher one afternoon after school so her father wouldn’t know ( he refused any singing in the house after Holly’s mother passed away). We’ll see what comes next!

Okay, now to you! What are you reading that’s holiday/non-holiday themed? Can’t wait to hear all about it!

My next book after “Holly and Ivy” will be “Spirit of the Season”. It is also written by Fern Michaels.

Hi everyone,

I finished " Holly and Ivy", by Fern Michaels last night before going to bed, It was a very sweet and lovely story. It started out a little sad, but it had a big surprise at the end. This was my first holiday story written by Fern Michaels that I have read so far this year. I recommend this one for anyone who loves to read romance and has a plan to read any holiday-themed based books this season.

I'm going to start reading " The Spirit of the Season" today.

I'm starting Chapter 7 today in "Spirit of the Season", by Fern Michaels. It also takes place in North Carolina and parts of Denver, Colorado. The beginning is a little sad, but it seems that the Granddaughter of Anna Rose Huntley ( Joy Preston) is going to try and help run her Grandmother's bed and breakfast as she had requested in her will. She was told by the lawyer that the will says Joy has to live at the bed and breakfast for 6 months to keep being the new CEO of it. Joy is going to see how she can deal with the bed and breakfast and still run her own nail polish business in Colorado with some of her friends out there at the same time.

Back at the bed and breakfast, the Staff is planning for the annual Gingerbread house building competition between the other bed and breakfasts in the area of Spruce City, North Carolina. Each participant has to build a house that looks like their own bed and breakfast house and make it with a holiday-themed look to it. Who will win the competition?

My list of what I plan to read coming up after Spirit of the Season. They are:

1. Home Sweet Home -- Fern Michaels

2. The Search -- Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb

3. The Institute __ Stephen King

4. I Heart London __ Lindsay Kelk ( Recommended highly by Luna_Child)

5. The Guest List __ Fern Michaels

6. The 6th Target -- James Patterson

7. The Apt Pupil -- Stephen King

8. Mr. Mercedes -- Stephen King

9. Finders Keepers -- Stephen King

10. End of Watch -- Stephen King

Hi everyone. I finished " Spirit of the Season", by Fern Michaels last night before going to bed. It was really sweet and showed that even when you have things not the way you planned for them to go-- or be, sometimes, things workout for the best and you end up liking the end result. I highly recommend the book for those who enjoy romance novels/stories and also love celebrating holidays.

My next book will be: " Home Sweet Home", by Fern Michaels, Donna Kauffman and Melissa Storm. " Home Sweet Home" is an anthology and all three authors added their own stories to create one book. The stories in the book are: " Three's A Crowd", by Fern Michaels, " New Beginnings in Blue Hollow Falls", by Donna Kauffman and "Bring Me Home", by Melissa Storm.

" Home Sweet Home" is 295 pages with all three stories put together.
