There's Something About Christmas

There's Something About Christmas by Debbie Macomber is a sweet, short Christmas novel. As with most Macomber books, it is a lighthearted, heartwarming easy read. It took me a good chapter or two to decide if I would keep reading it, though after that it was a fairly quick read. 

 Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don't. She's firmly in the second category, so it's ironic that her major assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of articles about . . . fruitcake. At least it's a step up from writing obituaries.

Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually . . . flying around the state. Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, who's starting an airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes -- almost as much as she hates fruitcake.

But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Emma falls for Oliver (who's not quite the Scrooge he sometimes seems) and his mutt, Oscar (who's allergic to her perfume, which makes him sneeze repeatedly). And she meets three wise women who know a lot about fruitcake -- and even more about life. (from publisher)

I recommend this if you are looking for sweet holiday reads, though this one could be read at other times of the year as well as it doesn't strictly have to do with Christmas, but rather takes place around that time of year.
