Booktok Holiday Books Novels & Stories

Because like any other small town, the gossip was inevitable since there was only so much that you can do in the peaceful little seaside town. Less than an hour later they were done with shopping at Novelty, Hazel picked two picture books with princess-themed stories, Gage got himself some thriller and mysteries books, while Bree was true to her words when she picked out some steamy books with BDSM plots all twisted into a mini series, yup, she didn't just get one. She put three in their basket. Gage raised his brow when he saw it, but Bree smiled sweetly at Gage which then made the young man at the register quickly scanned the barcode so he can put the smut books into the bag. The lanky tee

I even called my assistant at one point. “What kind of gifts do children like?” There was silence on the line. Then: “What exactly are you planning sir?” “Nothing.” Another pause. “You sound stressed.” “I’m not.” “You are literally calling me at midnight asking about children’s gifts.” Fair point. Eventually I settled on books. Beautiful hardcover books about space, inventions, oceans, puzzles, machines, and random scientific things children could obsess over for weeks. Then chocolates. Expensive handmade chocolate because apparently my brain had temporarily stopped functioning properly.

I wanted to get this book completed before I left and now it is, I will be gone until the New Year. So, I’ll say, Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving (If you celebrate it) Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!!! I have A LOT of new work still lined up for you guys, but again, that will be in the new year. The first book I promise I will start with next year is The Deviant CEO: Part III. Bye for now guys! :)

"That's what Christmas is all about, isn't it? The spirit of giving." Kiki nodded as she watched Santa pass out the gifts to the children, one by one. "It sure is." Children squealed with delight as they opened their gifts. At that moment, Kiki didn't want to be anywhere else. She and Evelyn spent the rest of the evening watching the children open gifts until they could hardly hold their eyes open. When the last gift had been passed out, Santa gathered the children around and read A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. A few minutes later, Abby approached Kiki, her eyes drooping.

Now they would exchange books as was their tradition. When Holly was a little girl, they used to do this every year. Her mother would pick out an educational book with beautiful pictures for her. One year, she got an encyclopedia of dragons. Another, it was a compendium of North American flowers. Once, she’d gotten the most amazing picture book full of deep sea fish. That was the last one her mother had given her. Mark always picked a fiction book for Holly. One year it was Lord of the Rings. The years where new GRR Martin books came out, she knew exactly what book he would give her.

I have two others here on goodnovel that are completed if you want to check those out too. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Marissa felt a surge of gratitude, knowing that these gifts were not just material items but symbols of the love and support that surrounded her. Among the gifts, one particularly caught her attention—a beautifully bound book filled with handwritten recipes from the village's oldest residents. This was a treasure she had always wanted, as cooking had been a cherished pastime shared with her mother. The book was a collection of family recipes, each page telling a story of love, tradition, and the joy of gathering around the table. As Marissa flipped through the pages, she could almost hear the laughter of her family and friends echoing through the years.

*Holly* Now that we were just two weeks from Christmas, the bookstore was getting crazy busy. And since I was done with school, I had started working longer hours. But it would be short lived. I had planned to make it through the holiday season with my bookstore job. I wasn’t rude enough to quit at peak busy season. But I’d just gotten confirmation this morning that I’d been accepted for a position as a teacher’s aide that I would start at the beginning of the year, after Christmas vacation was over.

For seven days, I didn't even bother to open the work group chat, so I missed all her passive-aggressive swipes at me. "Young people these days have such bad attitudes. They can't even handle the simplest tasks." When I showed up at the office after the holidays, acting as if nothing had happened, she lost it. At the morning meeting, she turned it into a full-blown interrogation and called me out by name, questioning, "Why didn't you answer my calls during the Thanksgiving holidays? I had work for you." I stared at her, looking genuinely confused. "You said it yourself that it was the holidays. That's my time off, so whether I answer the calls or not is my choice."

“I hope you feel the same way about the books. I put all the ones about herbs and medicine that were in the old library here, and I bought many new ones. But your brother managed to bring some that he said were hidden in your old bed at the Moonjoy's house. They made me think you like romance stories, so I ordered several of that kind as well.” “Really?” she jumped up excitedly and, damn, that made her breasts brush against my chest, causing one of the best sensations I’d ever felt “Oh, Noah! I… I don’t even know how to thank you…! This… This is the best gift I’ve ever received!” Holly wrapped her arms around me, probably lifting her feet off the ground to try and get as close to my face as
