Book 3 in the Weezie and BeBe series

Weezie is again the main character in this storyline set during Christmas. Weezie is on the lookout for a special gift for Daniel as well as trying to discover who mysteriously has been leaving and taking items from her truck. It’s also the historic district’s Christmas decorating contest and Weezie wants to win, but so does her new competition, Manny & Cookie.

Any book that can get me in the Christmas spirit is the one for me!

Sweet (and a little sappy) Christmas novella with Weezie, Bebe, and families. I found the author's portrayal of the rival antique shop owners to be a bit uncomfortable.

It was okay, I didn’t love the premise or the characters or the weird homophobia of side characters.

Third book in the series. First one was good, second was better and this third one was ok. It was a quick and easy read but felt a little jumbled. The writing was funny but this could have been an accompaniment book to the series. Wish the narration was better.

A cute and cozy book that will definitely help beat those winter blues! This is a read-in-an-afternoon book that definitely lifted my spirits!

Wheezie Foley is such a great character. I love hearing about her antique shop and items she finds, and about historic downtown Savannah. She’s that great mix of fierce and quirky, and the supporting characters are a lot of fun!

In Blue Christmas, Wheezie is preparing to sleigh the competition in the historic downtown Christmas decorating competition. But her new neighbors across the way are putting up quite a fight! They seem to have endless budget and no regard for the rules of the competition. But when Wheezie finds her display destroyed, her neighbors become the least of her problems.

Franticly, Wheezie starts from scratch creating a retro blue Christmas themed display in her windows. But things begin to disappear. Is someone out to sabotage her? And why is her boyfriend such a Christmas-hater? Wheezie will need to get to the bottom of it all if she wants to save Christmas!

I actually read this a few weeks after Christmas, and it was such a fun book it really was a pick me up during the long, cold month of January! Though this is a sequel, you definitely don’t need to read her other books first. This can be a standalone!

It’s a shorter book and a lot of fun! The type of book that you don’t need to take too seriously, and let’s you escape into the balmy Savannah winter for a few hours. If you love a sweet story with a side of southern charm, this is your book!

Thank you to Harper Perennial for my copy! Opinions are my own.

Whatever you do, do not listen to this as an audiobook.
