Book Blogger Hop is another post I'm going to be trying out and this one has a topic each week, which is something I've been trying to bring to the blog.  I'm really excited about this one because I have a hard time coming up with something fresh to talk about and I'm hoping this helps.

 20th - 26th  - What is your favorite Christmas themed fiction or nonfiction book? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer

Hmm I don't really read nonfiction books that much, but my favorite Christmas book that I read every year to my kids is The Polar Express. I also love The Night Before Christmas.  


Do you have a favorite? If so let me know in the comments below. I would love to check out some new Christmas favorites!

Teaser Tuesday #183





Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:  

  •  Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.


 Night fell as death rode into the Great Library of Summershall. It arrived within a carriage. Elisabeth stood in the courtyard and watched the horses thunder wild-eyed through the gates, throwing froth from their mouths.













So I've heard mixed reviews about this book, but figured I would give it a shot anyway. I'm in love with the cover though. Seriously look how beautiful it is. We shall see what I think about the writing and all that jazz soon.

Blog Tour: A Wedding In December Review





I am super excited to be part of this tour and share my thoughts on a few of these fantastic books. Right now I want to tell you all about author Sarah Morgan's new book A Wedding in December.


I received this book for free in exchange for my honest thoughts and review. This does not affect the way I view the book in any way!  







A Wedding In December by Sarah Morgan
Published:  October 31st 2019
Publisher:  Harlequin
Format: E-Arc
Pages: 384 pages
Goodreads * Amazon * 


From the USA Today bestselling author of The Christmas Sisters comes this funny, charming and heartwarming all new original Christmas novel. This is Sarah Morgan at her festive best!

In the snowy perfection of Aspen, the White family gathers for youngest daughter Rosie’s whirlwind Christmas wedding. First to arrive are the bride’s parents, Maggie and Nick. Their daughter’s marriage is a milestone they are determined to celebrate wholeheartedly, but they are hiding a huge secret of their own: they are on the brink of divorce. After living apart for the last six months, the last thing they need is to be trapped together in an irresistibly romantic winter wonderland.

Rosie’s older sister, Katie, is also dreading the wedding. Worried that impulsive, sweet-hearted Rosie is making a mistake, Katie is determined to save her sister from herself! If only the irritatingly good-looking best man, Jordan, would stop interfering with her plans…

Bride-to-be Rosie loves her fiancé but is having serious second thoughts. Except everyone has arrived—how can she tell them she’s not sure? As the big day gets closer, and emotions run even higher, this is one White family Christmas none of them will ever forget!





As soon as I saw the title and read the summary of this one I knew I wanted to add it to my list for this tour. (Yep I said list, I wanted to review four books for this one to be exact!)  If you didn't know already I love Christmas, throw in a wedding and love story and I'm hooked. My parents were married in December, which makes reading this all the more enjoyable. So if you couldn't tell I was super siked to read this one. 

While reading A Wedding in December, I was caught up in all the whirlwind of everyone's secrets and all the different ups and downs for these characters. I loved the writing style and how the words just seemed to flow on each page. I will say I was yelling at my book at one point, girl if you're having second thoughts you go with your gut feeling. (I learned that one the hard way!)  

I really enjoyed reading how this whole story unfolded and it felt like I was right there with them. Which makes reading any book all the more enjoyable. I had to know what was going to happen next and every turn I wasn't really sure how it was all going to work out or if it even was. 

Author Sarah Morgan did it again as she pulled me in, made me love the characters and didn't let me leave this story even after it was finished. I love that about her writing! Another fantastic book by an amazing storyteller. 

If you haven't read A Wedding in December, get your copy today, you won't be dissapointed! 





I'm giving A Wedding in December an Ali's Bookshelf rating of...

Blog Tour: An Alaskan Christmas Review





I am super excited to be part of this tour and share my thoughts on a few of these fantastic books. Right now I want to tell you all about author Jennifer Snow's newest release An Alaskan Christmas
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest thoughts and review. This does not affect the way I view the book in any way!  



 An Alaskan Christmas by Jennifer Snow 
Publisher: Harlequin
Published:  September 24th 2019
Format: E-ARC
Pages: 384 pages
Series: Wild River #1

In Alaska, it’s always a white Christmas—but the sparks flying between two reunited friends could turn it red-hot…

If there’s one gift Erika Sheraton does not want for Christmas, it’s a vacation. Ordered to take time off, the workaholic surgeon reluctantly trades in her scrubs for a ski suit and heads to Wild River, Alaska. Her friend Cassie owns a tour company that offers adventures to fit every visitor. But nothing compares to the adrenaline rush Erika feels on being reunited with Cassie’s brother, Reed Reynolds.

Gone is the buttoned-up girl Reed remembers. His sister’s best friend has blossomed into a strong, skilled, confident woman. She’s exactly what his search-and-rescue team needs—and everything he didn’t know he craved. The gulf between his life in Wild River and her big-city career is wide. But it’s no match for a desire powerful enough to melt two stubborn hearts…




 When I was asked to be part of this tour, I knew there was a great selection of books to choose from, I mean come on look at that list on the banner! Anyway, I loved the cover of this one and that made me want to read it. Then I looked at the summary and I knew right away I wanted to add this one to the list of reviews on my blog. 

I've never read anything by author Jennifer Snow and I'm so glad I took this chance to read An Alaskan Christmas because now I'm hooked on her writing style.  The best thing about it is how easily I was hooked and it just flowed so well. It's such an easy read, but at the same time, An Alaskan Christmas was such an intriguing story. I just fell right into the book and lived it right along with the characters. Or at least that's how it felt. 

I just love these types of stories when it comes to Christmas books. I can't get enough of them. I love how it was his sister's best friend and now he's like wow. Even if they do fight it a little! I loved these characters so much. I cheered for them to get together and was so happy once it finally happened. (Seriously I was cheering out loud while I read this story.) Yep, I'm one of those readers! 

I can't wait to read more of author Jennifer Snow's books now that I love her writing so much! I want to thank Harlequin for introducing me to a new to me author, one that I love and for letting me part of this tour! If you haven't picked up your copy of An Alaskan Christmas, you should do that today! It's a fantastic and cozy read, perfect for the holiday season.
