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.

Wow, Hidden ! These sound really great! I can't wait to start "I Heart London" in the next few weeks coming up after"Holly and Ivy"and also "Spirit of the Season".
That's how I feel sometimes about certain characters in other books and series, too. It depends on the type of book/series/character/theme that's going on at the moment. When I was younger, I had read " The Babysitters Club" series and one of the characters in most of the stories was a person with Type 1 Diabetes. When my Niece gets a little older, I plan to give her most of my collection.
I am an avid reader with very eclectic taste from Shakespeare and the Classics to historical and romance. I am reading a James Herriott book at the moment for the umpteenth time. I read them as fillers between books. Waiting to see what I get for Christmas.
That's a great idea! This helps so you can keep reading a book and still be ready for when the new ones come/are given as gifts. Glad you are enjoying the James Herriott book so far.
I just got Spirit of the Season on Overdrive! Holly and Ivy is on reserve. I look forward to reading both books. During Covid, I have had more time to read...a great distraction.I think Holly and Ivy is a Hallmark movie.
I think you will really enjoy Holly and Ivy when you get the chance to read it. I'm about to start chapter 18; page 118 today. This was after reading four chapters before going to bed last night. Really exciting and sweet story! Is the movie version on regular/noncable TV stations?
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 am reading one of my library books, "The Stolen Child" by Jennie Felton. I have only just started it, the print is not as large as I would like, I have cataracts which make my eyes water. It seems to be sad, but I think I will have to finish it. Probably next month I might finish it, I will let you know.
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.
A book that has 3 stories and is classified as an Anthology.
May I recommend one of my adult fiction novels Shadow Pine Cove by Chelle Ryder. The story follows a couple as they move from the big city to a small southern town. Everything takes a turn for the worst when the people of the town discover Chloe is a practicing Witch. I am currently working on the third and final installment......in between flares.
