The only movie where I ever truly liked Jack Black, lol
Dumped and depressed, English rose Iris agrees to swap homes with similarly unlucky in love Californian Amanda for a much-needed break. Iris finds herself in a palatial Hollywood mansion while Amanda navigates the lanes of a picture-perfect English village. Soon enough, both lovelorn ladies bump into local lads perfect for a romantic pick-me-up.
On Saturday, December 16, 2023, from 11 am until 1pm I will be at the TOADSTOOLBOOKSHOP in Keene, NH, discussing and signing my newest releases. Hope to see you there! And remember: Books make great gifts – for others and yourself, so why not treat yourself to a little romance this holiday season?!
So this might be a little early, but since it’s December 1st, I figured, why not?
Today’s Friday Five are my 5 favorite holiday movies.
#5 Charlie Brown Christmas. I’m old enough to remember seeing this the very first time it was ever televised! Lovelovelove!
# 4 The Holiday. The only Jack Black movie I ever saw where I actually liked him!!!
#3 Love, Actually. One of my top 10 movies of all time no matter that it’s Christmas. From the beginning of the opening credits to the final ones, this movie is perfection.
#2 The Family Stone. I love Diane Keaton and she is at her absolute best in this movie about death, dying, and the power of family bonds.
#1 It’s a Wonderful Life. There’s a little George Banks in all of us!!! Again, this Frank Capra movie is perfection from the first reel to the end credits!
Stick around in December – I’m going to do 12 blogs about my favorite 12 movies of the holiday season.
Did you know I have my own Holiday Web store where you can order books directly from me to give as gifts – or to keep for yourself?
The store is only open until 12.15.2023 and only for Continental US readers ( Sorry, Canada and Hawaii! Shipping costs are prohibitive.)
If you’d like one of the titles listed of my titles, just indicate which one(s) and fill out the sheet – and remember: you can also purchase my handpainted bookboxes if you’re giving the book as a gift. I can hand design any cover title I offer. It’s a beautiful way to present it to the romance reader on your list.
Just as I’ve done for several years, I am opening my own direct-to-you bookstore so you can purchase my books at a reduced price as gifts for yourself or for the romance reader on your holiday gift list.
Below, you’ll find a list of all the books available this year directly from me.
Each book is $13.00 for the print version and this year I’m offering something else if you plan on gifting the book to someone ( or just keeping it for yourself!!!)
Book Boxes.
I handpaint these boxes for my books to nestle in to keep them safe or to give them to someone as a present.
If you would like one for one of the books I’ve indicated, they are $2.50 each, additionally.
The store will be open from 11.1.2023 until 12.5.2023 so I can get everyone’s books to them in time for the holidays. And just as an aside, this offer is only open to US residents. ( I can’t ship oversees or to Canada because of prohibitive shipping costs.) But you can purchase the books at Amazon and major online dealers.
And to make it even easier, here’s the store’s QR code. Just point your camera at the screen and click on the link. You’ll be taken right to the order form!!! Easy Peasy. ( I try, lol)
