hristmas at Little Beach Street Bakery is the last book in Jenny Colgan’s trilogy. It’s a giggle worthy story about love and morality.

Here’s a bunch of reviews for all the fiction I read.
A Christmas Revelation by Anne Perry
Set in Victorian London, this mild mystery is a sweet story about the meaning of Christmas spirit and never giving up. It's incredibly short and easy to read. Perfect for even the busiest readers this holiday season.
One Day in December by Josie Silver
One Day in December was a surprise. It has the happy ending you want in a winter/Christmas novel, but it was complicated the way life and feelings and friendship are. Josie Silver didn’t simplify it. It's the must read book of holiday season. Picked by Book of the Month and by Reese Witherspoon for her book club.
Alaskan Holiday by Debbie Macomber
Alaskan Holiday is a really good example of what I don’t like in a book. Sappy romance, a pretend strong female character, bad grammar, terrible plot, and over all not put together well. Upside: there is a dog.
The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker
Pat Barker retells the Iliad in The Silence of the Girls from a new and forgotten point of view: the women. Briseis was queen of a city before it fell making her a slave to Achilles. An entertaining story. Barker misses the mark for victims and survivors of abuse.
How to Love a Jamaican by Alexia Arthurs
In How to Love a Jamaican, Alexia Arthurs compiles a book full of resonating short stories. I can’t stop thinking about the various characters and stories she tells. Also, she went to the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Yay Iowa!
