ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jane. It was hard to narrow the list down ... even to the 19 (well, 20) I did. Lots of wonderful books in 2019. Good luck, and thanks for visiting my blog.
DeleteI hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Wow, 300 books!!!! Good for you. I need to read more, I'm hoping after the New Year I'll be able to read more especially since I'm paying for KU. ��
ReplyDeleteThe only book I read was No Ocean Too Wide. It was for Toni Shiloh's FB author reader group.
I LOVED that book, I actually had a hard time putting it down!
Now the books I want to read are:
The Bright Unknown
lost Daughter (looks good)
Where Dandelions Bloom
Overcomes-- and I want to see the movie
How the Light Gets In
Medallion (looks good)
Moments we Forget
Cilka's Journey (looks good)
The 3 books that I put looks good, the cover is what interested me!
Thanks Leslie for your list!
You're very welcome.
DeleteWith editing and reviewing, the book total goes up pretty quickly :)
Have fun with KU! Looks like you've added some great choices to your list. I highly recommend "Overcomer" (the movie). Before I finished the book, I told my husband we'd be going to see it :)
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Thank you Leslie. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year also!
DeleteThanks!

My favorite Christmas memory is lying on the floor with my sister when we were little and gazing up at the angel tree topper with the red rays radiating out from behind the angel
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful memory. I can just imagine how it looked. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
DeleteOne of my favorite Christmas memories is the year I was old enough to go out with the uncles and cut the Christmas tree. I felt so grown up!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, oh, I bet that was a wonderful time!
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Merry Christmas.
Nice giveaway! Most of my favorite Christmas memories include going to my grandparents house for Christmas--spending time with my very large extended family--aunts, uncles, and cousins everywhere! And of course, all the good food! I'm so thankful that I'll get to spend time with my grandmother this year on Christmas Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing an amazing giveaway, Merry Christmas!
Many of my best memories involve family gatherings, as well ... and of course the food!
DeleteEnjoy your time with your grandmother. I was able to spend my grandmother's birthday with her this year, so I know how special that time together can be.
You're very welcome. Good luck, and thanks for stopping by.
Merry Christmas!
Of this on your list I have only read No Ocean to Wide and How the Light Gets In. Both very good books.
ReplyDeleteThose are both great books. Perhaps you'll be able to check out some of the others in 2020.
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Merry Christmas!
Great list to aspire to. Thank you for the opportunity.

My favorite memories are when my parents were alive and all the children and grandchildren would spend the day with them. Great times! Merry Christmas and thanks for the chance :)
ReplyDeleteBurma, that sounds wonderful. I have fond memories of spending time with my grandparents, as well.
DeleteYou're welcome. Good luck, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Merry Christmas!
I loved The Medallion by Cathy Gohlke. I have a few of your favs on my bedside table, waiting for me to get to them. Some of my favourite memories are of my kids and their friends participating in church and school concerts. We still remember the "green boy" who threw up on stage.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
DeleteThat sounds like that would've been a memorable moment on stage, for sure!
Good luck, and thanks for visiting my blog, Arletta.
Merry Christmas!
Several of those books are on my 2019 Top Books, too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas memory is when my now-husband proposed.
Dianna
Wonderful! I'm glad to see others felt the same way about them.
DeleteThat's certainly a cherished memory :)

My favorite Christmas memory was visiting Santa with my kids, and Santa knew their names without asking!
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I bet the kids loved that! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteGood luck, and thanks for visiting my blog.

My favorite Christmas memory is when we all got together at my in law’s house when the kids were little. It was fun to see them open their presents. My hubby’s grandparents were there. Now it’s hard to get everyone together.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite memories were when extended family would get together, too. That hasn't happened for many years, however.
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!
I’ve read about half of these and would agree: this is an excellent list! Thank you for sharing and for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm glad you agree! I hope I gave you a few more options to add to your TBR pile :)
