I hesitate to call my shot here, especially the way that has gone for me this year. But I think this is safe enough.
It’s the day after Thanksgiving, so it’s time to start focusing on the next big holiday. About the time this post goes up, I’m sure Mrs. Irresponsible Reader will have the tree up and will be decking our halls. I’m not the biggest holiday kind of guy–as my family and coworkers will tell you. But I seem to find myself reading more books about it (I don’t count the Andy Carpenter Christmas books, because there is so little of the holiday in them). Unless Fahrenheit Press puts out something Christmas-y–as they’re wont to do–this will be my list for the year.
That Christmas and Other Stories
by Richard Curtis, Illustrated by Rebecca Cobb
I thought the movie based on these stories was pretty cute, and have waited since last year to see what the various storylines looked like in their original format. Besides, if you ignore all the many questionable choices he made in Love, Actually, Richard Curtis is just a fun storyteller.
The Christmas Tree Killer
by Chris Frost
I’m game for any mystery Chris Frost (or his alter ego, Chris MacDonald) writes–and I’m curious to see how things go for DI Tom Stonem this Christmas. He’s sorta like the holiday’s Jessica Fletcher.
Grace & Henry’s Holiday Movie Marathon
by Matthew Norman
Norman’s rom com sounds perfectly charming–just the kind of cozy read that’s perfect for this time year. Literary Hot Cocoa.
Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret
by Benjamin Stevenson
Stevenson’s series has been fun so far–and this shorter “Festive mystery” promises to be fun.
