Joy is an 85 year old widow who is supposed to be flying to Phoenix to go to an assisted living residence near her sons.  But she has other ideas!  She has been writing a Christmas blog and decided to have a contest.  Now she wants to drive her motorhome, decorated for Christmas, down Highway 66 and deliver gifts to the winners of her contest.  Her 36 year old neighbor Miranda is down on her luck and recently divorced.  Joy invites her along for the trip.

Carlson never disappoints on her stories.  I look forward to a new one to me every Christmas.  It sets the season for me.

Meredith Schorr has quickly become one of my all time favorite authors. Every time she writes a new book, it's a guaranteed good read and always exactly what I need. I have read, loved, and reviewed both of her previous novels, Just Friends With Benefits and A State of Jane, and her latest, Blogger Girl, was no exception.

Legal secretary by day and book reviewer by night, Kim is a chick lit lover lover who runs the popular book blog, "Pastel is the New Black." She's passionate about reading and promoting her favorite genre, until a review request comes in for a new book by debut author, Hannah Marshak... who happens to be Kim's biggest high school nemesis and a total jerk. With their ten year high school reunion quickly approaching, Kim must decide whether she'll help - or ruin - Hannah's blossoming writing career. In the meantime, she's drooling over the hot, young attorney at her law firm while attempting to realize her own dreams of becoming an author.

Okay, seriously, if you are a book blogger, book lover, or chick lit fan, you simply have to read this book! Meredith knows these areas well and it shows. She perfectly captures the essence of both chick lit and book blogging and I feel like she just MUST have been in my own head while she was writing this book, and I think all book bloggers will agree! I'm so thrilled that she has managed to shine a light on book blogging and show how important, rewarding, and difficult it all can be. Kudos to Meredith for recognizing that!

Not only did I love this book because it's about a book blogger, it's just dang good chick lit! It has: swoonworthy boys, a flawed but lovable heroine, great friends, and yummy drinks! I loved Kim (also, to those who have read it - how cute is the karaoke scene?!) because she was real. She messed up sometimes, like all of us do, and she worried about how to fix those mistakes. She struggled with doing the "right thing" on more than one occasion, and I was right there with her, wondering what I would do, and what the right decisions truly were. Perfect people don't exist, and I was glad to see such a real heroine in Kim. I really enjoyed seeing the internal struggles that Kim had to face. Even though that part of the story could be serious, which gave the story some great depth, the book was also a total blast and I found myself missing the story and its characters long after I finished the book.

Okay, Miss Meredith Schorr, when's the next book coming out?! I am on the edge of my seat ready and waiting to read any and all of your future works! Schorr is such a talented writer that I even read through all of the old posts on her author blog (wait - is that flattering or creepy?) because she is that good and engaging of a writer that even her blog is fantastic. I highly recommend every single one of her books to all fans of chick lit.

Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was excited for a new book from Melody Grace. It was everything I have come to expect from her writing and more. A second chance at the love that tore your world apart would give anyone reservations. But when jumping off that cliff into the arms of a man that would rather die than let you fall is your other choice it seems like the only one.

There were so many things about Finn McKay that I just loved. His fierce determination to make things right with Eva. The sexy look that made her putty in his hands. His flirtatious and possessive behavior that was obvious to all outsiders that he wasn't letting "his girl" go again.

Eva didn't stand a chance. Hell no one would. I swooned right along with Eva while Finn turned her world upside down and spinning out of control.  Her determination to protect herself from Finn was a losing battle. Feelings like theirs were a volcano waiting to erupt and once  it did there was no turning back.

They both suffered the loss of one another although only one of them made the choice. Sometimes in life you need to hit rock bottom and lose it all to truly find yourself.

This story was more than just a second chance at your first love. It was about owning your past mistakes and being brave enough to jump into the unknown to embrace the one thing you can't live without.

I devoured this book once I picked it up. No surprise there. Melody tends to give me  characters that are relatable and endearing. I am sure like other books from Melody I will be adding this one to my paperback collection to keep Finn and Eva close.

Im pretty sure I'd love anything K. Bromberg writes! Love this. Love the little throwbacks to Colton and Ry. I just love her writing style. She puts so much effort in connecting even the smallest of things.

This book was such a good love story. All of Melody Anne's books are a great read. I especially love The Billionaire series, because it's about the Anderson family and when u fall in love with the characters, you get to keep reading about them in each next book. There's 7 in that series.

I love to read anything Debbie Macomber writes.  I enjoy the simple life stories that she writes about small towns.  Brings me back to the days when I grew up where neighborhoods were safe and everyone knew everyone.  Highly recommend anything she writes

Melody Carlsons Christmas novel has become a Christmas tradition for me.  It is the first one I read.  This year I set it down and decided that I would wait until November 1 to read it...didn't happen. Everytime I walked by it called to me so I picked it up and read it in one day.  I picked up The Christmas Bus one year at a bookstore not having read any of her books before and I have been hooked ever since.  This story is about spreading Christmas cheer and the joy you get by giving to others.  I highly recommend this book to get you in the Christmas Spirit!  You won't be disappointed.  If you know anyone who needs cheering up this season, this would be the perfect gift for them.

Seriously, I simply love Jess Lourey's Minnesota based series.  She combines great wit with plots and sub-plots that never fail to challenge the reader.  What a delight!
