The Christmas Bride

I don’t actually want to write a review of Grace Livingston Hill’s The Christmas Bride, but I do want to say:

• Those of you who were like, “okay, but sometimes the religious stuff is way too much”? I didn’t get it before. I get it now.
• Apparently what’s wrong with the world is that I am not in Israel.
• The hero will not give any of his vast fortune to charity because it stops people from being self-reliant.

The Story of a Whim

I reread The Obsession of Victoria Gracen the other day, and it left me wanting a very specific Grace Livingston Hill thing: Good people doing things, and triumphing over bad people who are overtly small-minded and cruel. Victoria Gracen is firmly in that category, and so is Aunt Crete’s Emancipation, but her other books I’ve read only have it in small quantities.

Anyway, I poked around on Google Books, and chose The Story of a Whim for its title. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted–for one thing, there are no bad people–but it’s a cute religious romance and I enjoyed it.
