Let It Snow
An ill-timed storm on Christmas Eve buries the residents of Gracetown under multiple feet of snow and causes quite a bit of chaos. One brave soul ventures out into the storm from her stranded train 
and sets off a chain of events that will change quite a few lives. Over the next three days one girl takes a risky shortcut with an adorable stranger, three friends set out to win a race to the Waffle House (and the hash brown spoils), and the fate of a teacup pig falls into the hands of a lovesick barista.

A trio of today's bestselling authors - John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle - bring all the magic of the holidays to life in three hilarious and charming interconnected tales of love, romance, and kisses that will steal your breath away.
My review.........3 stars
It's been a while since the holiday read-a-thon, and I still have a few holiday stories I'd like to get to this year, this being one of them. I liked this book, but didn't love it. The first story, by Maureen Johnson, was adorable, and I would have given that one 4 or 4.5 stars as a stand-alone book. The other two were somewhat "meh" for me. They weren't awful, and they were a quick read, but nothing outstanding about either. I did really like the fact that the book, composed of 3 different stories by 3 authors, does take place over the same time period, and the characters do interact at various points in each story. That was a clever writing surprise.
This would be a fun, fast read that could be consumed during the Christmas festivities, when your attention may not be at it's best (with all the distractions of the season). However, if you have not read My True Love Gave to Me, that would be my pick for a seasonal short story collection.
This sounds like a good one for a sampling of those three authors. I am familiar with John Green. I think it's great that authors can work together like this. Happy Holidays!
I was also only familiar with John Green, so it was a good exposure to the others. I will definitely check out other work from Maureen Johnson, I liked her story the most.
This sounds like a fun read! Although, I don't think it's going to be snowing in our neck of the woods, Donna 😉 72 on Christmas Eve?? What? Well, maybe we'll have a tan for Christmas. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! xo Kristy
Well I'm definitely getting a Christmas tan, since my family is in Cancun! But it sounds like we are finally getting the heat I've been missing in NC 🙂 Enjoy your holiday Kristy!
