Festive Spirit Blog Hop: What Is Christmas without a Holiday Tale?



Festive Spirit Blog Hop: 


What is Christmas without a ‘Holiday Tale’?



Hi, readers! Always a pleasure to touch base with you. I wanted to do something a bit different today.


I think we all need an infusion of Christmas spirit in this hectic time of year – the idea of giving out of the goodness of your heart, even finding love during the holiday season. No matter your religious affiliation, I think we all need to believe that there is good in everyone, that at the end of the day, things turn out all right. We all need hope and faith. And what does that better than a story set around Christmas? 



For this post, I’m going to spotlight some tales that are perfect for the holiday season, for any kind of reader. Here are some great books in various genres by authors I’ve met during my author journey, as well as a few books by writers I may not know so well.

Looking for other seasonal tales? Here are Amazon’s recommendations.

These books will hopefully leave you with a brighter spirit this holiday season. Who couldn’t use a little more hope and joy these days? From romance, general fiction, a holiday cookbook, horror, thrillers, all the way to memoirs and children's books, I know avid readers of those genres would love them!

Well, I’ll sign off now. As always, it’s been a pleasure. Merry Christmas, and have a wonderful New Year! Oh, and happy reading! ;)
