In Andrews’s Bright Lights, Big Christmas, just unattached and unemployed Kerry Tolliver agrees to help her brother sell Christmas trees in New York (their family owns a tree farm in North Carolina) and meets handsome single dad Patrick after a kerfuffle over his parked Mercedes (250,000-copy first printing). Half-sisters Maggie, Simone, and Star have A December To Remember as they struggle to fulfill the requirements of their eccentric father’s will in this latest from Twelve Dates of Christmas author Bayliss. After bonding during a turbulent flight to Toronto, seatmates Maryam Aziz and Anna Gibson wind up snowbound at the inn hosting the bridal party of Maryam’s sister in a story celebrating Three Holidays and a Wedding, with Christmas, Eid, and Hanukkah all converging; from internationally best-selling author Jalaluddin (Ayesha at Last) and Reese’s Book Club–honored Stapley (Lucky). Newly married Sunny, rejected by her stepchildren; newly divorced Ariana, whose daughter is spending the holiday with her dad; and post office veteran Molly, too frantic with work to spend time with her daughter and granddaughter—all hasten through The Twelve Months of Christmas in search of the perfect holiday; from On Strike for Christmas author Roberts.
