SABBATH SNAPSHOT : A Li-TEA-rary Ballad for Christmas

Remember, this is a review---not necessarily a recommendation. For me, Sharyn McCrumb's , Nora Bonesteel's Christmas Past, was an "It's OK" rating."

However, according to "goodreads" reviews, I'm in the minority. One reviewer gave it 4 out of 5 stars stating, "McCrumb at her best with two parallel stories centered around Christmas Eve." I, have read several of McCrumbs books and like her ballad-type writing and her Appalachian setting for many of her books. This novella was "sweet" but a little too predictable for me.

Also, on my "Christmas stack" is A Mistletoe Promise by Richard Paul Evans of the "Walk Series," which I liked. 

I'll let you know if I like this one---since like McCrumb's book proves, I don't always like every book an author writes.
"So many books so little time" has had me not finishing books, when a story "takes a turn" I don't like. This is a relatively new choice for me---it must go along with being a Medicare card holder----time is too short for mediocrity.
