Christmas for Easter?

Easter's coming, so why am I reading Christmas stories? Probably because I am so, so, so, so far behind with my read-and-review (and post the review) list. So no, I didn't read all these books this week. I didn't even write all these reviews this week. But I want to get them posted so I can concentrate on writing for a while, so here goes... Some Christmas books for Easter! (And Christmas coffee too.)

Reel Christmas in Romance by J.J. DiBenedetto is a sort of old-movie-themed You've Got Mail. Warm, romantic, blending past and present very comfortably, it's an enjoyable read for Christmas or any time you need a warming infusion of words. Enjoy with some well-balanced three-star coffee.

A Miracle for Ann by Sara Fitzgerald tells the sometimes difficult story of a family facing a Christmas crisis when insurance won't pay for the child a small child needs. This one appealed to me because of the connection with autism. It's a heartwarming Christian tale of relationships, and an honest depiction of how laws get changed so what should be a right stops being a charity. Enjoy with some bold, intense coffee; it's not dark, but it's serious.

Danger on the Red River by Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer is one of the authors Choctaw stories. I've not read the rest, but I think I'd like them. The characters, time and situations feel authentic and well-researched, and the family relationships are thoroughly enjoyable. An exciting and heart-warming tale for Christmas or any other season, to enjoy with some warm, well-balanced three-star coffee.

And then there's Oh Holy Fright by Teresa Trent, eighth in the Pecan Bayou series. I'd not read any others in the series, but the characters (a large cast) come quickly to vivid life, singing in and out of tune, allowing the reader to stay abreast of, and even ahead of events, while keeping secrets to the end. There's a Christmas murder to be solved, and kids who want the latest toys (perhaps temptation to murder). And it's fun. Enjoy with some easy-drinking two-star coffee.

So much for Christmas at Easter. If you want some family Easter (and post-Easter reading) please consider:
