I’ve already read my first Christmas anthology of the season, This Heart of Mine, with two great reissues by Mary Balogh and Nicola Cornick and a truly wonderful debut novella by Courtney Milan. I’m also looking forward to The Christmas Ball by Jennifer Ashley, Emily Bryan, et al. and to Susan Wiggs’s A Lakeshore Christmas.
