The Wish Book Christmas

pick

Delightful story of Audrey and Eve and their 5 yo boys in 1951! It reminded me of how we treasured the Sears wish book every December in the 1950s. My mom always made Christmas so magical for us🎄I discovered there is a book before this one: If I Were You.

Harry & Bobby, the sons of single moms, have gone a little out of control with the Sears Christmas Wish Book. Who among us hasn‘t? That‘s what drew me to this Christmas story. Their moms are determined to teach them the true meaning of Christmas & to learn to enjoy gifting to others as much as receiving. This is the 2nd in the series.👇🏻

megnews 👆🏻 Having not read the first I spent the first quarter of the novella trying to place the characters before I really started enjoying this Christian historical fictional. 3y

Chrissyreadit I always loved the JC Penney Catalog. It was wished and daydreams gone wild. 3y

The Wish Book Christmas by Lynn Austin is the sweet follow up story of Eve and Audrey from Lynn's book, If I Were You. It is not necessary to have read that book 1st but I would recommend that… it was one of my favorite L.A. books!

TheHeartlandBookFairy The Wish Book Christmas by Lynn Austin is the sweet follow up story of Eve and Audrey from Lynn's book, If I Were You. It is not necessary to have read that book 1st but I would recommend that… it was one of my favorite L.A. books! This book begins a few weeks before Christmas in 1951 when the Sears Christmas wishbook arrives and Eve and Audrey's sons, Bobby and Harry, obsess over the book in much the same way my siblings and I did when the book arrived in our mailbox when we were children. Eve and Audrey strive to strike a balance between indulging their sons a bit at Christmas and teaching them the true meaning of the season and how giving can be a gift for both the giver and the receiver. They come up with a plan of giving "wise man" gifts and as the boys get into the spirit of giving and learning the true meaning of Christmas, Eve and Audrey find their own hearts healing from their past tragedies, their eyes being opened to the possibilities and the gifts before them as well. This is a beautiful story packaged in a beautiful book! The vintage looking cover will bring back so many memories for many of us. This is a story in the true spirit of the Christmas season and a new tradition will be born as this book will be read year after year much in the same way you watch your favorite Christmas movies every year. I'm honored to have been gifted this book as a member of Lynn's launch team for the book! This book will have an honored place on my bookshelf as well as among my Christmas décor and would make the most wonderful Christmas gift for any book lover! 3y

I came home for lunch and found this beautiful book waiting for me in my mailbox❤ I'm about 2/3 of the way through the digital copy but the hardcover copy of Lynn's latest book is absolutely breathtaking! The vintage retro feel & look is incredible and I can already share that this is one of those Christmas stories that will be read year after year... I'm not even finished and it's already become a favorite of mine! Thank you Lynn N.Austin 🥰

Starting my ARC of this book on this beautiful autumn morning(55°)😊🍁🍂
As a child, I couldn't wait for the Christmas wish book to arrive! My sister, brother, & I would go through the book so many times it'd be worn out within days. We'd carefully they select all the items we were wishing for (and let's face it, everything looked awesome lol). Raise your hand if you remember doing this 🙋‍♀️ Love Lynn's books!
Also... happy #SundayMugday

megnews I love Lynn Austin. Looking forward to reading this in December. 3y

TheHeartlandBookFairy @megnews If you read If I Were You by Lynn, you'll be excited to know that this is the continuation of their story! It begins in 1951 when the Sears Christmas wish book arrives and their boys start obsessing over it. 3y
