Book 235

Season of Joy, by Virginia Carmichael, October 2012.

I am not really a romantic fiction kind of woman; I'm more of a mystery/classics/non-fiction kind of woman.  And the genre title "Christian Romantic Fiction" usually sends me running in the opposite direction. 

This book, however, hooked me.  It was well-researched and well-written and packed with charming details.  It was a lovely diversion, and a perfect antidote to the hustle of the holiday season.

Don't skip the open letter at the end of this book -- it, like this book, is well worth your time.
