Read and watch what brings you joy! This post needs to be read now (pre-Thanksgiving) so you can put your name on the holds list because they can fill up fast!

Christmas novels bring me lots of joy. I only just discovered them last year, what?! I can’t believe I was missing out on these beautiful hallmarks of novels. Actually, a lot of Hallmark movies are based on these delightful novels. Allow me to pair them for you.
