  1. Wow, Anita, that's quite a list! Can I put in my request to be including on next year's list? :)

  2. I bought my mom December in Lancaster for Christmas last year. It was a pretty little hardback book. She really enjoyed it.

  3. Christmas is really big with readers! As usual, an amazing list Anita. I have robably read only one Christmas themed book. Ever. So it's clear why you do so well with this backlist.

    I'm off to buy coal. Ho ho ho.

  4. That was supposed to be Probably. Sounds like Scooby Do posted for me. Sorry.

  5. LOL Barb, I've already started taking notes on next year's list in the hopes I'd get to do it again.

    One thing I couldn't find was the books from White Rose/Pelican Book Group and other ebook publishers. If they are keeping tabs on what was published when, they're keeping it to themselves.

    So yes, I'll go now and make sure I've got yours listed.

    Thanks. :)

  6. Dina, I used CBD for the photos and info on the books and they listed whether each was in paperpack or hardcover. But then I know they sell some of them in ebooks. But which ones? So I played it safe and just put the book itself.

    I'm glad you're mom liked the book. I remember receiving my 1st book for a Christmas gift. I still have it, too. Still can't believe my brother had the insight to give it to me. LOL

    Which reminds me... Anne Greene is my Author Memories blog guest in a couple weeks and she posts about receiving a Nancy Drew book for Christmas. Her experience of holding the wrapped gift and guessing is very similar to my own. You know it's a book, but there are so many possibilities. :)

    Thanks Dina.

  7. Just one Christmas book, Debra? Ouch. How can you stand it?

    This is such a popular theme, in fact, that for the 2011, Steeple Hill has ALL their December imprints as Christmas themed. And remember - they've gone from 4 to 6 Love Inspired and from 2 to 4 Love Inspired Historicals this year. That's 14 Christmas books from them alone if you count the LI Suspense. :D

  8. Debra, considering we were emailing about cats and dogs, I just assumed you had Scooby on the brain today.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Anita, I know "Saving Christmas" and "Season for Miracles" by Clare Revell came out from White Rose in 2010. As well as "The Christmas Edition: A Journey to Paradise" by Robin Shope. So I guess that's three Christmas releases last year compared to 11 this year.

  10. Barb, are those romance? And did you remember or did you look somewhere to find them?

    We're heading into the city for Christmas shopping today as it's Nelson's weekend off. I'll be able to keep tabs on the comments, but I won't be able to research or add to the post until later.

    That's the good think about the Backlist promotion blog page... it'll be up for the month. Well, once I add it there tomorrow. :D

    Thanks, Barb.

  11. Debra--If you've only read one Christmas book, it must have been mine?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Anita--

    All I did to find those is go to the Amazon page and search for books tagged White Rose Publishing. And then sorted by date. Now if people didn't tag their book...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oops, and yes, anything coming from White Rose is considered a romance.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Anita, did you read all of the books on this list?

    I read the LI Suspense ones and they were all very good, but I especially enjoyed Holiday Havoc. Any LI Suspense by Terri Reed or Stephanie Newton are really good, so a two-in-one was an extra treat.

    I'd really like to know about the book with the lady holding the polar bear. Has anyone read it?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Duh Barb, Dumb question asking if the White Rose was romance. Of course I knew that. *sigh

    About the tags... I added Margaret Daley's From This Day Forward to Amazon last week, but wasn't given the option to add tags. I even went back in to check, but couldn't see it. :(

    ReplyDelete
  16. No, Suzie, I wish I could, but I haven't read them all.

    About Polar Opposites by Susan Page Davis - I haven't read that particular one of hers, but I just finished reading her current release, Captive Trail and I really enjoyed it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Deb's Scooby doo comment made me laugh. Thanks, Deb.

    What a list, Anita! I am a huge fan of Christmas stories. I always buy new ones, but I also re-read older favorites every year.

    Speaking of Christmas book authors... our own Barbara Early shares ten random and fun things about herself on my blog today:
    www.susannedietze.blogspot.com. Then you can join me in asking, "Barb, what's up with you and coats?"

    Thanks for the great list, Anita.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hey Susie, I usually start reading them at the start of Nov to help get me in the Christmas spirit. Not these past couple years though. :( But I've kept every one. :)

    I'll check your blog later, Susie. Thanks.

  19. Now I have to admit I either lied or I'm clueless. Okay, I've read TWO Christmas books.

    Missy Tippens and Barbara Early.

    I didn't think of Barb's. Can you believe it? doh! With the cover staring me in the face right now, it does seem rather ridiculous...
    To me it's a mystery, not a Christmas book. oh well.

  20. Got back from the city an hour ago. Lots of crowds.

    Deb, 2 books read are better than none. :)
