Catching Christmas
Catching Christmas | Terri Blackstock
21 posts | 23 read | 8 to read
The first Christmas story from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Terri Blackstock. The feel-good Christmas book of the year. Blackstocks tale of love and redemption wrapped in a holiday bow will leave you smiling. Dont miss Catching Christmas. New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck This Year, Christmas Comes Just in Time As a first-year law associate, Sydney Batson knows she will be updating her resume by New Years if she loses her current court case. So when her grandmother gets inexplicably ill while shes in court, Sydney arranges for a cab to get her to the clinic. The last thing cab driver Finn Parrish wants is to be saddled with a wheelchair-bound old lady with dementia. But because Miss Callie reminds him of his own mother, whom he failed miserably in her last days, he cant say no when she keeps calling him for rides. Once a successful gourmet chef, Finns biggest concern now is making his rent, but half the time Callie doesnt remember to pay him. And as she starts to feel better, she leads him on wild goose chases to find a Christmas date for her granddaughter. When Finn meets Sydney, hes quite sure that shes never needed help finding a date. Does Miss Callie have an ulterior motive, or is this just a mission driven by delusions? Hes willing to do whatever he can to help fulfill Callies Christmas wish. He just never expected to be a vital part of it. Terri Blackstocks latest offering touches tender places with its quirky characters and stirring plot. Catching Christmas explores what happens when the paths of a disenchanted Taxi driver collide with that of an overworked attorney. Blackstock weaves a compelling, romantic tale that is sure to get you into the Christmas spirit! Denise Hunter, bestselling author of Honeysuckle Dreams Blackstocks Catching Christmas is not your average romance. Darling and laugh-out-loud cute, it makes the reader think about the important things in life. I read it in one gulp and wished there was more. Highly recommended! Colleen Coble, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Hope Beach series and the Lavender Tides series

I actually feel bad for not liking this one more. The story itself was good. Emotional. Maybe I'm struggling with it because my own grandma died from cancer this year, so it brought up those feelings... It's the ending of the book that left me wanting more. It was too rushed. The story did a great job of building up to it, then it fell flat. It did nothing for me. The romance part wasn't believable. With more development it would have been amazing

This book deserves a rating better than 'pick' like an 'absolutely must read'!!! I loved every chapter of it. It just pulled me deeper and deeper! Also a perfect book for this time of year ! 🎄😍

#WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders @Clwojick 26pts Chasing Christmas was a very cute novella, and I have to believe it‘s already a Hallmark movie. *goes to check* It‘s not… yet. Finn is a cabbie dealing with the guilt of not being there for his mom when she died, and Sydney is a new lawyer at an awful law firm that‘s threatening to can her if she doesn‘t work constantly. Finn, through some hilarious and heartwarming scenes,... Cont in comments:

MidnightBookGirl Cont: becomes Sydney‘s grandmother‘s driver. When her grandmother‘s health starts to decline, her last scheme to bring Finn and Sydney together seems to be working. Funny, a little sad, a little spiritual, this was a great read to catch a little Christmas spirit myself!

Not too bad for the first day of #WinterGames2020! And considering that I had to work. I did these visual Readathon posts for Scarathlon, and it definitely helped me keep track, so doing the same for this event. I plan on “banking“ my minutes until they reach an hour, and then including them for points. Happy Hump Day, #MerryReaders! @Clwojick 551pts.

Clwojick I love the poster! ♥️ 3y
LazyOwl Love the cover of Angel of Greenwood 💕 3y

This is the December pick for my book club meeting next week. Christian fiction is one of my least favorite genres, and the last 1/3 was way too heavy-handed on religious content for my tastes. I should have looked at the genre before reading, oops! Up until that point I was really enjoying the story.

Reviewsbylola I can't do Christian fic, like at all. 4y
ravenlee I loathe Christian fiction. It‘s always so heavy-handed that the story seems to get lost. 4y
alisiakae @Reviewsbylola @ravenlee Same! It was completely absent until the last part of the book, or I would have bailed. My book club is quite diverse, so I‘m kind of surprised someone selected this for our group, unless they also didn‘t realize. (edited) 4y

I had to have blood drawn today, so having a very late lunch at an Asian market near the lab. Best wonton soup I have had in a long time!

Made a lot of progress on the tagged book today as I have spent lots of time in waiting rooms this afternoon. #WinterGames #TheFilthyAnimals

Lynnsoprano Hubby and I had blood work this morning, too, but it was pretty early. We went for bagels and coffee with our books afterwards. 4y
audraelizabeth That looks delicious. 4y

First off, I had to find time to finish this book. Usually I start audio books on trips, and never finish them. This one I wanted to finish.
Wow, this was a great "read". It just shows that every person's job is important, even when it seems meaningless.
Life is short and we need to make the most of it.
