I'm in the UK and a little bit puzzled.
Do I take it that 'holiday' reads, in this context, means Christmas books?

That would be correct, Grace!

Many of us say 'Holidays' here - across the pond from you - to honor all different religious traditions.

Cheers and Happy Reading!!!

[kirklandatlarge]

I have two holiday books available in both Kindle and paperback.

Holly Jolly Frivolity http://www.amazon.com/Holly-Jolly-Frivolity-Gordon-Kirkland/dp/1461088429/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_5 is a collection of two dozen humor essays that got their start when I wrote a syndicated humor column (1994-2007). It also contains a section of rewritten words to holiday songs ("We three dads of teenagers are  Trying to make our money go far...)

The Plight Before Christmas http://www.amazon.com/Plight-Before-Christmas-Gordon-Kirkland/dp/1461188989/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_6 is a novel about what can happen when Murphy's Law takes over the season. Set largely in the early 1960's, it follows a family through a series of comedic calamities and disasters leading up to the holidays. W. Bruce Cameron, author of 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter, A Dog's Purpose, and more says, "A wonderful, nostalgic look at a simpler time and place, The Plight Before Christmas will appeal to fans of A Christmas Story. You don't just read about this family--you live with them as they fumble and stumble to a hilarious holiday."

Buy them for your Kindle, but also remember that books like these make great hostess gifts, secret Santa presents, and gifts for those hard-to-buy-for in-laws and such.

     

Happy holidays everyone! From Gordon Kirkland, the jolly fat author with white hair and a beard!

DeeDee,
Thanks for starting this thread. I can't wait to load up on Holiday reads. My December release takes place in a heatwave. So I don't quite fit in but will enjoy following and buying from posts here.

Speaking of fitting in... Gordon... you are a stitch. To see your face floating by on this thread is so clever. Reminds me of an old "Laugh-In" skit. You come up with some great ideas. Where are you? Oh... there you are.

[Dana Taylor]

I want to play!  Glad to see the ball rolling over here.

DO YOU LOVE HALLMARK MOVIES?

I've added to my previous offering of "Shiny Green Shoes" two more stories--"Patty's Angels" and "Refiner's Fire" to make up Hope For The Holidays

                                     

SHINY GREEN SHOES--Oklahoma, 1935. The unlikely friendship between a poor, black child and an aging white actress brings hope to a town down on its luck.
                       

REFINER'S FIRE--Based on a true incident. San Diego Firestorm, 2008. As her house turns to ashes, one woman discovers the most important thing in life.
                                                                     

PATTY'S ANGELS--Los Angeles, 1960. A little girl changes lives, with the help of her celestial best friends.


May the holiday reading begin!

Thanks,everyone!

Nothin' beats setting novels during the holiday season!

I did the same, Talli, with STOMPIN' ON STETSONS - Book Two of my Bootscootin' Books.

It's Hell's Kitchen mixed with Meet The Fockers, where my Roz Focker-style Sex Therapist, Aunt Tulip, has tons of holiday-themed aphrodisiacs!!!



And of course there's some magical romancin' underneath the Christmas tree...

Cheers to our Holiday Reads!!!

I wrote this children's picture book  "Frasier the Fir is Forever Green" right after working at my daughter and her husband's Christmas Tree Lot. Last holiday season, spending most of my waking hours selling Christmas trees; I blogged the experience; that writing inspired this children's story about the perfect tree longing for center stage in a family's home during the Christmas month of celebration. Does the tree get his heart's desire?
