Thank you for the Christmas recommendations Tarissa! I have read 'The Quiet Little Woman' and loved it - I'd love to read 'Kate's Choice'! And I definitely need to read more of Charles Dicken's Christmas stories.<br />Hannah Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989588874705188098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559516794627888606.post-66298693577608919492012-12-15T14:01:20.662-06:002012-12-15T14:01:20.662-06:00These are always so enjoyable - I keep forgetting ...These are always so enjoyable - I keep forgetting to link up though! Hehe.<br /><br />I have a WWI book I've been thinking of reading, "Silent Night". It's about the Christmas Eve truce in "No Man's Land". It has some wonderful pictures as well. So if I can finish up these other two books by tomorrow that I'm reading I think I'll start that next. :)<br /><br />Blessings!<br />~Rachel~Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145673580087798403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559516794627888606.post-88177938085851823302012-12-14T16:52:47.698-06:002012-12-14T16:52:47.698-06:00Hannah ~ I haven't heard of "The Bird'...Hannah ~ I haven't heard of "The Bird's Christmas Carol" before, but I'll put it on my December list!<br /><br />Here are some good holidays reads which I've enjoyed:<br /><b>The Quiet Little Woman</b> by Louisa May Alcott --- it's a quick story, but I own a volume of a book entitled as that name, which actually includes 3 stories by the same author. The other 2 included are: <b>Tilly's Christmas</b> and <b>Rosa's Tale</b>.<br /><br />In another LMA book I have called <b>Kate's Choice</b>, it includes 2 other stories along with it: <b>What Love Can Do</b> and <b>Gwen's Adventure in the Snow</b>. (If you can't find either of these trilogy books, you still may be able to find the stories online)<br /><br />Have you ever read <b>The Nutcracker</b>? I believe it is written by E.T.A. Hoffmann---get a good illustrated version of it.<br /><br />If you like <b>A Christmas Carol</b>, I believe their are other short stories from Charles Dickens that are Christmas-related, although I can't recall any titles. I believe I've read some in the past.<br /><br />And, I know of 3 novels by the author Greg Kincaid which are beautifully written! More of a modern, backwoods American story about a dog. All the novels are connected to each other:<br /><b>A Dog Named Christmas</b><br /><b>Christmas with Tucker</b><br /><b>A Christmas Home</b><br /><br />:-) You'll have to let me know if you read any of these books! I always so enjoy reading special holiday-themed books in December!Tarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390283409265644737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559516794627888606.post-51774736338354079632012-12-14T11:12:26.759-06:002012-12-14T11:12:26.759-06:00That sounds like a fascinating book, J.G.!

I love these "Sharing Our Bookshelves" posts. I hope to write a Christmas book post on my blog and share it here this month.<br /><br /> I was also wondering, can you recommend any good Christmas reads? I love A Christmas Carol and A Bird's Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggins (really recommend that one!) but I don't know of too many others.Hannah Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989588874705188098noreply@blogger.com
