    1. Meddling With Mistletoe sounds fun, Tracey! I usually start reading Christmas books around Oct to help put me in the Christmas spirit! And to forget there’s Halloween all around me. ugh! Am I the only one who hates Halloween? But I DO love Fall!

      1. I’ll read a Christmas book anytime I can get my hands on one. I’ve already read Mistletoe Season with Pepper Basham and Waiting for Christmas by Lynn Austin. Hoping to get more for review. I’ve read Between the Sound and Sea too, loved it especially being set in the Outer Banks and I love books with journals and lighthouses.

      2. I enjoy Halloween when it’s done right…not all gruesome and scary. We have neighbours who are great hiking/camping enthusiasts and every year they create life size vignettes of skeletons camping. Every couple of days they switch it up so by Halloween they’ve told a whole story. Skeleton’s all dressed up in plaid flannel sitting around a campfire making smors, hauling a canoe over head to portage, stuff like that. And last year they created a pond out of fallen leaves and had one of the skeletons fall out of the canoe but in ‘slow mo’ over a number of days — first the skeleton was standing up in the canoe with flailing arms, then a couple of days later, its mid air and finally the last day all you could see were its feet sticking up out of the leaves with another skeleton precariously balanced in the canoe reaching out to its fallen comrade. Apparently that really happened on their camping trip last year. So involved and I have no idea how they achieved posing the skeletons to withstand storms and gale winds and, frankly, gravity (!), but they do and it’s so much fun!

        Ahem but we were talking Christmas. I agree with Tracey, I can read Christmas stories any time of year but I get a really craving for them in the fall and I usually end up being Christmased out by December. lol

    2. Squeal!!!! Another new Christmas story coming out. I want to try and read all the Christmas new releases this year…wonder if that is even possible?! And I have the first two books in Carla Laureano’s series..Haven something, I think?…on hold at my library so I should be up to speed by the time this next one comes out. And thanks for the bonus suggestion…T I Lowe is a not to be missed author and Lowcountry Lost sounds like an emotional one. Good luck, Tracey!

      1. Well, I must admit that sounds cute about the skeleton decor! I think what I hate most about Halloween is the commercials on TV. They’re so Exorcist-like & demonic. I’m always so glad when the season’s over! I do enjoy reading Christmas Suspense any time of the year!

      2. Perriane, it’s kind of a big deal here, too. I do love handing out treats to the little kiddos who come to my door, but that’s about it. Oh, and also enjoy those miniature chocolate bars that are left over. Hubby always buys the good candy, probably for the same reason. lol

    1. OOhhh…Denise Hunter has a new one coming out and I’m in love with Between the Sound and the Sea’s cover and it’s about a lighthouse! I have a thing for lighthouses! Good luck, Diane!

      1. I love lighthouse stories, too! Heidi Chiavaroli has a new one out centered around an old lighthouse! So many pretty covers & can’t wait to read Lowcountry Lost. This one is set in my stomping grounds of SC, in a tiny town called Somewhere. It might even be about my town! It is somewhere and if you blink you might miss it. Bwahahahaha

    1. Someone had this for historical yesterday and I think it qualifies for both. It’s set in the mid 1980s which could be considered contemporary or historical depending on who you talk to plus it sounds like there are multiple timelines so we’ll go with it fitting in both categories. Good luck, Lucy!

    1. Oops!! Sorry, Kav. This may not qualify since it’s more suspense than romance. If it doesn’t, I’ll replace it with Lowcountry Lost by TI Lowe. Thanks.

      1. It counts since it’s a contemporary timeline. That’s the only criteria for today — must take place after 1980 — you can mix and match other genres in as well like suspense, so Target Acquired works. Good luck, Tammy!

    1. Gingerbread Danger doesn’t work because the release date is in October and this giveaway is for books releasing in July, August and September. I’m excited to know there’s another Amish Candy Shop book coming out though. Feel free to substitute with another title. Good luck, Lori!
