Thinking on Christmas Reading

Last year I read three Christmas Themed Books.



First time in all my years that I read Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol. I've seen it on TV enough, I know the story by heart, but it was a joy to read. I read a Richard Paul Evans book every Christmas, I've been doing that for 3 years now, I discovered him in 2006.

This year I will read The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans, if I can get my hands on a copy.



I was not too thrilled with last years Christmas book from Richard Paul Evans: Grace. I thought it was dark and not at all a 'FEEL GOOD' Christmas read.

But I forgave him since he introduced me to another book entitled The Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck. Yes that's right, That Glenn Beck. I didn't know what to expect, but this book was so sweet, touching and I loved it. I don't think he can repeat a story with such emotion. This was based on his childhood, and I was impressed. So if you haven't read it, don't let the name throw you, go ahead, it is great.


This is another book I have in my library queue, although it also has not gotten into circulation yet, well it will be released on October 1, 2009, so I hope by December 2009, the library will have it.
