November Book Review -and- What’s Up Wednesday!

Hi, friends! 
I can’t believe another month is gone. And it’s Christmas! I have a quick book review for you today because I only got around to reading two books this month, and they were both good! I’ve also tacked on a condensed What’s Up Wednesday too! Lots for one post, so let’s get going…

Lizzy & Jane

I really enjoyed Katherine Reay’s Dear Mr. Knightly, so I downloaded this one too. Elizabeth leaves her family’s home in Seattle fifteen years ago to pursue her lifelong dream—chefing her own restaurant in New York City. Jane stayed behind to raise a family. Estranged since their mother’s, the circumstances of their lives are about to bring them together once again. In need of some rest and an opportunity to recover her passion for cooking, Elizabeth jumps at the excuse to rush to her sister’s bedside when Jane is diagnosed with cancer. A cute. quick read!

Winter Street

I love Elin Hilderbrand, and I love Christmas! This book fit the bill, and there’s two more in the series! As Christmas approaches, Kelley is looking forward to getting the family together for some quality time at the inn. But when he walks in on his wife Mitzi kissing Santa Claus (or the guy who’s playing Santa at the inn’s annual party), utter chaos descends. With the three older children each reeling in their own dramas and the youngest unreachable in Afghanistan, it’s up to Kelley’s ex-wife, nightly news anchor Margaret, to save Christmas at the Winter Street Inn.
