Sistah Girls, it’s the season for grabbing something warm to drink and curling up with your favorite books that will put you in the holiday spirit. This year I decided to add more than just Christmas books (although there are a lot) because I love the entire month-long celebration.

I love a romantic Christmas story just as much as I love a good New Year’s romance story–and don’t even get me started on my love for Urban romance holiday novels… love them! So here’s a list that has a little bit of everything…
