The Hygge Holiday
The Hygge Holiday: The warmest, funniest, cosiest romantic comedy of 2017 | Rosie Blake
14 posts | 7 read | 11 to read
The perfect recipe for hygge this autumn: make a hot chocolate, draw the curtains, snuggle under a blanket and read your way to happiness! It's autumn in Yulethorpe and everyone is gloomy. It's cold, drizzly and the skies are permagrey. The last shop on the high street - an adorable little toy shop - has just shut its doors. Everything is going wrong for Yulethorpe this autumn. Until Clara Kristensen arrives. Clara is on holiday but she can see the potential in the pretty town, so she rolls up her sleeves and sets to work. Things are looking up until Joe comes to Yulethorpe to find out exactly what is going on with his mother's shop. Joe is Very Busy and Important in the City and very sure that Clara is up to no good. Surely no one would work this hard just for the fun of it? Can a man who answers emails at 3 a. m. learn to appreciate the slower, happier, hygge things in life - naps, candles, good friends and maybe even falling in love? Rosie Blake is Brilliantly fun - Heat Just brilliant - Fabulous magazine Hilarious - Hello **** Reviewers love The Hygge Holiday 'The most gorgeous read' - Sun 'What a wonderful book! Rosie Blake's best novel yet - I had such a gorgeous time reading this story that I couldn't put it down. It was genuinely funny, warm-hearted, and full of unforgettable characters. A pure heartwarming pleasure of a read.' - bestselling author Kirsty Greenwood Light the scented candles and hunker down on the sofa with a hot choc... this funny, warm hug of a book is the ideal companion. - Fabulous magazine 'The Hygge Holiday is hilarious, cosy, heart-warming, fulfilling; pretty much everything you would want from a book... An absolutely phenomenal tale from the incredibly talented Rosie Blake... Be prepared to devour The Hygge Holiday in one sitting. Be prepared to love this book, because yes, it truly is THAT fabulous. Five stars for sure.' - The Writing Garnet 'I loved it' - Heidi Swain, author of Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market

I wanted to read this because I liked the cover. It was a cute and cozy read. A great book to relax and wind down with.

Warm and cozy. I thought it sounded like a Hallmark movie in book form and that's exactly what it was. This was sweet.

Going to start this book next. Everything is going wrong in Yulethorpe this autumn. The last shop on High Street -a toy shop- has just shut its doors. Clara sees the potential in the town & sets to work. Everything is fine until Joe comes back from the city to see what happened to his mom's shop. Can Clara teach him to appreciate slowing down? It sounds like a Hallmark movie, which is perfect right now.

I‘m all set to have a winter break full of hygge! Cozy slippers, hot beverages, books I‘ve been wanting to read, and a new fictional hygge book 😍 Thank you so much @Dogearedcopy 🎄📚🎄📚

Graciouswarriorprincess Merry Christmas! 5y

dragondrool Merry Christmas, Book Buddy! I wish I could come hygge with you. That would be a fab way of heeding my ER discharge destructions to “get plenty of rest“. (No worries. I'm good to go now. Just a speed bump. But now I know what an angry pancreas feels like.) 5y
Bookworm83 @dragondrool Merry Christmas, book buddy!! I‘m so sorry you were in the hospital 😩 I wish I could come bring you books and treats to help you feel better! Love you so much, and I hope you read lots of book while you are resting. 5y
dragondrool I was only at the ER for a few hours. I got to come home. :) And I'm happy to report I'm feeling just fine right now.

I liked some elements of this and found it amusing, but all of the characters and their interactions felt forced. It seems hard to believe someone my age doesn't have a phone or car and somehow got to a small village. Also the romance seemed a little forced. It was very cute though.

Avanders Heya lady — just checking in to make sure all #sffs packages have been sent ... can you confirm re the local package? Thanks! ♥️ 6y

hermyknee This is the cutest thing! 6y
JoScho @hermyknee I know! I couldn‘t resist! How is Wisconsin? Are you freezing? 6y
hermyknee @JoScho it‘s cold, but so much fun! My aunt (well, Dad‘s cousin but she‘s basically my aunt) runs an inn in Cedarburg and that‘s where we‘re staying! It‘s soooo cute! She blocked out the whole thing for us ♥️ I‘m thinking of coming back up for Summerfest and ultimate relaxation after the end of the school year 😊 6y
JoScho @hermyknee that sounds lovely! And no sleeping on a pull out couch in the middle of the living room! 😂 6y

Karizma Sad I missed this! Guess that's what happens when i'm inactive. 🤔 6y
StellarDoc @Karizma I haven't been very active, either. I missed a lot of holiday swaps I'd otherwise have participated in. 6y
Karizma There's always something else right around the corner. Perhaps #galentines? 6y

#Christmas is the season for #Hygge This little book is like wrapping your brain with a blankie while sipping hot chocolate so thick a spoon can stand up in it! 😝
