Queenie Baby: Pass the Eggnog
Fiction, Holiday
5*****
Blurb: The only thing temp-by-day, rock-star-by night Diana Hudson hates more than karaoke is Christmas. So how did she end up spending a “Good Ol’ Fashioned Family Christmas” in a spooky old house in the Pocono Mountains? Try two parts familial obligation, one part sisterly arm-twisting, and a tiny flame of Christmas spirit still burning in her humbug heart. When The Grands start communing with ghosts, and a long lost boyfriend appears on the doorstep, Diana realizes it’s going to be one heck of a holiday. With a Christmas play to produce, a mystery to solve, and three miracles on the way, Diana keeps her spirits up with a steady flow of Christmas cheer–of the eggnog variety. So settle down in front of the fire, grab a cup of cheer, and join Diana and her family on the wackiest Christmas vacation ever.
THOUGHTS: What a fun story to start off the new year with. Yes, it’s a Christmas story, but it’s still the holidays and this is a great addition to the holiday stories. Plus, it’s relatively short (100 pages). In this one, Queenie is forced to join the rest of her family in the Poconos at the old family home to have an old time family Christmas. With her divorced parents and their spouses, her sister, husband, and their kids, her grands, and more. Including a few ghosts who enjoy leaving messages on her mirror and flicking the lights. And just because it’s Christmas, there are more than a few miracles that happen as well.
Join the whole family – living and dead – in this fun holiday story. Recommended.
