Like Holiday Snowflakes
Would you listen to Trading Christmas again? Why?
It was a lovely fluffy book for the holidays. Occupied my mind while working on Christmas gifts. Much better story an the Hallmark movie of the same piece.
Good read with different plot
If you could sum up Trading Christmas in three words, what would they be?
intriguing refreshing nostalgic
Which character as performed by Renee Raudman was your favorite?
did not have fav as they are all integral. you start out with one person not being as important and they turn out to be critical.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
good to do while doing housework, etc
Lacks Christian morals
It seemed to me that the story was trying to present itself as family oriented, traditional with warm memories. But it was hard to accomplish in my heart with every one willing to have sex with someone they just recently met. It lacked Christian morals and could not dredge up feelings of family-friendly traditional Christmas memories for me.
Just lame
Would you try another book from Debbie Macomber and/or Renee Raudman?
No, thank you, just no depth, no thrill, no development.
Has Trading Christmas turned you off from other books in this genre?
hopefully not
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
it was mediocre
Any additional comments?
Not worth a credit - got it on sale for $4.95 - which is acceptable. Would not recommend.
Joys in the Unexpected
This sweet, funny story is full of the unexpected . . . and a comedy of errors . . . and like all of Debbie Macomber's books has the healing balm of love, forgiveness, and learning from our own mistakes. And just like life, sometimes we find ourselves in situations we would never choose, but really NEED to get us out of the rut we are in. Great listen for the holidays.
