This was a perfect read to kick off the holiday season! It was sweet and funny and just a little bit angsty. And it had all the holiday & Christmasy vibes. I loved getting to see Miles coming out of his shell and Trent finally believing he’s worthy of being loved. And I can’t forget Bubba for setting it all in motion! This was just the sweetest and it’s getting four stars. I can’t wait to read the next one! 😊

Also! This was book #100 for 2024!! 😭❤️

Holiday season is over, I know, and as much as I hate the actual holidays, I love reading about it, so I'm already in the mood of reading cozy holiday books.

These are some of my favorites, some are just Christmas and others involve new year.

The Holiday AU! Been listening to the soundtrack all month and got all the Obikin feels ☃️

So. Newly-single Obi-Wan leaves his home in England and travels to the US for the holidays hoping to forget about his breakup. (He was with Satine but they grew apart.)

After he arrives he does some brooding in his Airbnb, then goes out to a bar where he meets Anakin. They have what was supposed to be a one-night-stand but caaaant seem to stay away from each other. Later, Obi-Wan finds out about little Luke and Leia. (This was always one of my favorite parts of the movie 😭 The kids are so cuuute) Turns out Anakin is a widowed DILF (sorry Padme). Obi-Wan is a hit with the twins but oh nooo he must return to England and go back to his super successful job. (Doing what? Idk publishing or something) On his way to the airport he’s like, hmm oh wait, I love that DILF. Queue rom-com goodness with Obi-Wan dramatically going back and they reunite and smooch. They then spend NYE together and boom let the credits roll.

The movie’s ending isn’t actually clear on how they work out the distance thing, but in this version I think Obi-Wan eventually moves to be with Anakin and the twins ❤️

In The Nightmare Before Kissmas by New York Times bestselling author Sara Raasch, the prince of Christmas is a chaotic bisexual with a big problem: the hot goth guy he drunkenly made out with at a bar is actually the Prince of Halloween—and they’re both supposed to be romantic rivals in a holiday media stunt. The only thing left to do in this steamy rom com full of tricks and treats is to make the yuletide…gay. 🏳️‍🌈
