When it comes to holiday stories, I tend to favor ABC Family movies - at least when it's not very good, I know it's going to end soon.

I don't tend to read seasonal books...Hi Tracy,<br /><br />I don't tend to read seasonal books, to be honest if I want to read a Christmas story in July, then I can't see anything wrong with that.<br /><br />Like yourself, I might have picked this one up, if it provided a quick fix for a problem ie. finishing a reading challenge on time. I think that's probably why I don't take part in challenges any more, as I simply can't guarantee to read a particular amount of books in a defined timescale.<br /><br />I am still guilty of reading the odd Mills&Boon offering, although by that I mean one every couple of years or so. I don't think that for me the 'quality' of the stories or writing is ever going to change substantially, but then everything is personal and I realise that some people really love the books and keep up their monthly subscriptions, which have made the company so successful and enduring, it was founded in 1908.<br /><br />Sorry you found this selection such a let down, but the challenge is finished now, so 'Well Done'<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-84938996039397660702015-12-13T04:25:32.985+00:002015-12-13T04:25:32.985+00:00I do like holiday themed reads, but I'm sorry ...I do like holiday themed reads, but I'm sorry to hear these weren't all that well written!<br /><br />-LaurenShooting Stars Maghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074581473656321052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-34807145964424562652015-12-13T01:18:02.847+00:002015-12-13T01:18:02.847+00:00Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts.
