Download or read book Christmas in Vermont written by Anita Hughes and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweet holiday love story about the magic of synchronicity and fate set at a quaint Vermont inn during the week after Christmas. Emma can’t believe her luck when she finds an open pawn shop on Christmas Eve in Manhattan. She’s there to sell the beautiful bracelet her ex-boyfriend gave her when a familiar looking watch catches her eye. It’s the same engraved watch she gave her college boyfriend, Fletcher, years ago. On a whim, she trades the bracelet for the watch and wonders at the timing. Practical Emma thinks it’s just a coincidence, but her best friend Bronwyn believes it’s the magic of synchronicity that caused Emma to find the watch. Fletcher was the one that got away, and somehow Emma never quite moved on. When Bronwyn finds out that Fletcher is in snowy Vermont at a romantic inn for the week, she can’t help but give synchronicity a push. She signs Emma up to help the inn keeper as the children’s activity coordinator. Emma agrees that a week filled with quaint shops and maple syrup would do her good... and maybe Fate really does have a Christmas gift in store for her. That is until she sees Fletcher with his daughter and fiancée. Suddenly, the fairytale trip seems doomed to fail... much like the innkeeper’s dwindling cashflow. It will take a miracle to save her heart and the inn. And that just might be what Fate has in mind. Christmas in Vermont is a delightful and charming love story about the magic of second chances during the most festive time of year.
Download or read book Build Your Own Christmas Movie Romance written by Riane Konc and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create the Christmas romance of your dreams, scene by scene, twist by charmingly predictable twist—each choice is yours. Slip on your favorite Christmas sweater, cozy up to a crackling fire, sip some spiced eggnog, and prepare to experience the ultimate holiday love story. But instead of watching it on some cheesy cable channel, open this book and put yourself in the director’s chair. First, decide your heroine’s problem. Was she just fired from her big city business job? Avoiding going home for Christmas? Or did she just realize the man who proposed to her maybe isn't Mr. Right? Then it's time to meet the man--should your heroine end up with the big city business exec, the small town hunk or someone totally unexpected (but still hunky)? Each choice will take you down a totally different path that all somehow end up making for a perfect made-for-TV romance. Will your Christmas activity montage include baking cookies, walking through a holiday festival, or skating on a picturesque frozen lake? Will you choose to include a generically bearded old man who perhaps could maybe be Santa Claus? Choice by hilarious choice, you’ll make your way closer and closer to the big payoff--the picture perfect, most romantic final kiss ever. And when you’ve savored that last bit of snowy, romantic goodness, don’t be glum. Turn back to page one and start a new love story. With hundreds of possible stories the happily-ever-afters never stop happening.

The only problem is, neither of them wants it - but both of them need it. A glorious farmstead in the hills of northern Minnesota should be the perfect setting for Christmas. After all, the snow-covered trees and the sleigh-ridden paths are a Christmas dream come true... Except Jade and Ethan despise the beautiful home and all that it represents. When they get the call that their estranged grandparents have passed away within months of each other, Jade and Ethan learn the boastful estate has been left to them. And the only thing worse than being forced into a mansion neither of them wants is dealing with the wacky executor who seems to think the holidays should be all nutcrackers and jingle bells. Forced from the safety of their opposite sides of the family tree to come together under one roof, Jade and Ethan resign themselves to the unnecessary and frivolous demands of their grandparents' will. After all, all they have to do is get through Christmas, and they'll be able to go their separate ways. As each arrives with their own ideas about how the estate should be handled, the absurd execution of the will might slowly change their minds. They assumed the holidays would be problematic, but as they check off the list of ridiculous requests, will they find themselves rethinking their plan - and each other? A Borrowed Christmas Love Story is a sweet, Hallmark-style holiday romance that thrusts two people into the unknown love stories of their grandparents.

Download or read book Auggie Wren s Christmas Story written by Paul Auster and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless, utterly charming Christmas fable, beautifully illustrated and destined to become a classic When Paul Auster was asked by The New York Times to write a Christmas story for the Op-Ed page, the result, "Auggie Wren's Christmas Story," led to Auster's collaboration on a film adaptation, Smoke. Now the story has found yet another life in this enchanting illustrated edition with Argentine artist Isol. It begins with a writer's dilemma: he's been asked by The New York Times to write a story that will appear in the paper on Christmas morning. The writer agrees, but he has a problem: How to write an unsentimental Christmas story? He unburdens himself to his friend at his local cigar shop, a colorful character named Auggie Wren. "A Christmas story? Is that all?" Auggie counters. "If you buy me lunch, my friend, I'll tell you the best Christmas story you ever heard. And I guarantee every word of it is true." And an unconventional story it is, involving a lost wallet, a blind woman, and a Christmas dinner. Everything gets turned upside down. What's stealing? What's giving? What's a lie? What's the truth? It's vintage Auster, and pure pleasure: a truly unsentimental but completely affecting tale.
