 ★★★★★

I happened across this audio book while scrolling

through my library selections. Such a pretty cover.

And I love family stories. So it was an easy choice.

I had seen the authors name before, but I had

never read anything from Karen Kingsbury.

A Baxter Family Christmas. Turns out it is part of a 

long running series. I will be looking for the earlier

stories! This one is the last in the Baxter Family series.

 The Baxters are a large family. A family like most, 

making mistakes and learning hard lessons. 

They are supportive of each other. While this 

Christmas season is an especially hard one, they come

around and make peace for everyone.

It is a lovely story. Full of love and forgiveness. 

The narration is calm and well done. Befitting the

characters and situations.

I hope you and your family are enjoying the holiday

season. And that you are having time to read

or listen to plenty of stories.

Christmas at the Castle - by Victoria Connelly - Audio Version

★★★★★

Christmas at the Castle is a wonderful little

Christmas story. I was really surprised at how

much story there was! For no longer than it is,

it kept going on and on. In a good way!

 

Victoria Connelly was a completely new author to me.

I loved the cover. I am a complete cover lover. I always

judge a book by its cover. Ms Connelly has written a

sweet story of family, during the holidays.

We often forget the important things at these times.

In this story, the characters help each other to

remember. Everyone ends up having a wonderful

vacation at the castle.

Jan Cramer is the narrator. I don't mean to gush.

I have no idea where she is from. But her

Scottish accent was so wonderful! Calming.

Easy to understand. Perfect for this story.

 I would have loved

to have the story go on longer just to listen to her.

 

I have gone on to another story from this author.

With Jan Cramer again narrating. Only this time,

it's a British accent! Typically, I struggle with them

in audio books. It's why I rarely listen to my much

loved historical romance. But her British accent is

also well done. Easy to listen to.

 

I got my copy from Amazon.com
