Glad Tidings
Christmas news! Read all about it in these two classic stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.
Christmas is a time for…fruitcake. Rookie reporter Emma Collins hates fruitcake; for that matter, she hates Christmas, too. When three Washington State women are finalists in a national fruitcake contest, the story is assigned to her. That’s bad enough. It gets worse when she has to fly in a small plane (scary!) with a smart-aleck pilot named Oliver Hamilton (sexy!) and his scruffy dog (cute!). In the end she meets three wise women, falls in love and learns There’s Something About Christmas.
This is also a time for families, for togetherness, for memories. On Christmas Eve, Maryanne and Nolan Adams tell their kids the story they most want to hear—how Mom and Dad met and fell in love. It all started when they were reporters on rival Seattle papers…and next thing you know, Here Comes Trouble!

Finished August 3, 2013
August 2013 4★ overall for the two short stories There's Something About Christmas 4★ A cute Macomber Christmas romance short story. Christmas in Seattle, Washington. The description of the weather is no where near to what my aunt describes (who lives in Omak - northern Washington). My aunt has been visiting us in California for the past 3 Christmases in order to escape the below zero weather. Our 60 degree F. weather during Christmas is like Washington's Springtime weather. Here Comes Trouble 3.5★ For being a short story, this dragged on too much. It's cute and predictable with a holiday Christmas theme and dog theme (the two girls wants a puppy). With the epilogue showing Maryanne and Nolan's happy ending with two girls, the suspense of "will they get together wasn't there?" It was more like "when will they get together?" And Maryanne's parent's were a little ridiculous. Glad Tidings as a set with these two stories fits well together. Their themes all match well. And they both have the Hero acting like the heroine's knight in shining armor. These are both cute reads.
