ROOM AT THE INN by Ruthie Knox
Carson Vance couldn’t wait to get out of Potter Falls, but now that he’s back to spend Christmas with his ailing father, he must face all the people he left behind . . . like Julie Long, whose heart he broke once upon a time. Now the proprietor of the local inn, Julie is a successful, seductive, independent woman—everything that Carson’s looking for. But despite several steamy encounters under the mistletoe, Julie refuses to believe in happily ever after. Now Carson must prove to Julie that he’s back for good—and that he wants her in his life for all the holidays to come.
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU by Molly O’Keefe
Maddy Baumgarten and Billy Wilkins are spontaneous, in love, and prepared to elope the day after Christmas—that is, if Maddy’s family doesn’t throw a wrench in their plans. After all, Maddy’s barely out of high school and Billy’s a notorious bad boy. Maddy doesn’t care about Billy’s rough past—all she cares about is living in the here and now. But after Maddy’s mother stops speaking to her in protest, and a Christmas Eve heart-to-heart with her father leaves her with butterflies, Maddy starts to get cold feet. She loves Billy, but is she taking this big step too soon?
ONE PERFECT CHRISTMAS by Stephanie Sloane
After being jilted by her fiancé, Jane Merriweather turns to her dear childhood friend, the Honorable Lucas Cavanaugh, for support—and unlocks the smoldering desire simmering in the man’s troubled heart. Frightened by his newfound feelings, Lucas flees to Scotland. But when the Christmas season brings them together again, one glance is all that’s needed to reignite his yearning. If Lucas can convince Jane that his intentions are as pure as the falling snow, they’ll turn a dreary December into a joyous Yuletide affair.

    Reading Goals

    Posted December 31, 2011 by Holly in Reviews | 0 Comments

    Holly: Many of us set resolutions in the new year. I personally don’t believe in resolutions. I feel like I’m just setting myself up for failure when I set resolutions. Year before last, I did set a reading goal. I’d planned to read 144 books and I reached my goal. Last year I set a reading goal of 211 books in 2011 and didn’t reach it. I only read 191 (I think..I haven’t tallied up all the re-reads yet). Not a bad number, but not the number I was shooting for.

    This year I’m going to try for 200. That’s about 16 books a month, approximately 3 a week. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. 2011 was a pretty crazy year. I had a hard pregnancy and then a newborn, so my concentration was shot. I’m hoping I’ll be able to focus more in 2012.

    I also want to try to read a better variety. Most of what I read in 2012 were contemporary or historical romance. I burned out on paranormal a few years ago and haven’t read but a handful since. I’m going to try to get back into them. I also want to get through my giant pile of historicals. To that end, I think I might join a TBR (to-be-read) challenge so I’m forced to read at least one book from my TBR pile a month.  I need to start culling that bad boy down.

    Rowena: I always set goals. Whether they’re life goals, work goals, reading goals. I set them. Sometimes I accomplish them and most of the time I don’t but I don’t mind, it doesn’t stop me from setting them. I love lists and I’ll keep making them whether I finish them or not. Last year, I barely accomplished the only goal that I was actively keeping all year long so this year I’m piping down.

    Of course, that goal was a bookish one. It was my reading goal of reading 150 books in the entire year of 2011. I read 150 books and that’s it. Not more, but not less which I’m glad for. I don’t think I’d be able to do it again but I’m going to try to do it again anyway. As of right now, I’m totally stinking it up on that reading challenge but I still have a little under 12 months to get my act together so wish me luck on that one.

    Other reading goals that I have are reading more romance novels. Last year, I read a lot of YA books and my romance novels fell off my radar. I’m going to spend this year getting back into my love stories of people my own age. Again, wish me luck.

    What are some of your reading goals for this year?
