So, finally a Christmas book ...
Back story ~ If you remember I like to read Christmas books in November and December, because there are so many good ones I want to read! However, November started with me reading our Book Club book and then I learned that our Faculty Book Club would meet after Thanksgiving, and that book is not a Christmas book either! So, I decided to sneak in a Christmas book in between the two.
I started reading one book I had gotten from the stash at my MILs house, however it was not only NOT a Christian book, I didn't get too far into it to realize this was NOT the type of book I wanted to read! So for the first time in recorded history, I actually stopped reading the book and picked up another one.
Ugh but this book was just a drag to read. It is set in the mid-1940s during WWII and I don't know if it was the style or the long drawn out plot or what, but I feel like if this had been a shorter book there is a chance I would have liked it more. Blech!
With Bing Crosby's "I'll Be Home for Christmas" playing in the background, Maggie Culpepper and William Byrd proclaim their undying love to one another. But with the U.S. at war and Maggie's personal home front under attack, the Southern belle impetuously joins the WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service). When Christmas draws near and Maggie finds herself miles and miles away from her Georgia hometown...and her beloved William...will she realize that, no matter where she spends Christmas, home is where her heart is? (picture and description at Amazon)
I have started the one for our other Book Club to finish it and then jump all in to Christmas books!
Have you read any good Christmas books lately?
