Finding Christmas audiobook

This book was Christmas STRONG! If you love listening to Christmas music, watching Hallmark Christmas movies, and have a Christmas wreath on your car this one is for you! Karen Schaler has written a couple hallmark Christmas movies and that really shown through in this book. Emmie is all about Christmas! This is the first Christmas after she lost her parents and she is determined to keep her family’s Christmas spirit alive. Her boyfriend Grant is a bit of a Scrooge, but she is convinced that with a little time and a clever Christmas scavenger hunt that she has planned he will see the Christmas lights! But when there is a bit of a mix up and Sam (a best-selling mystery writer) shows up at Christmas Point instead of Grant Emmie’s perfect Christmas might be spoiled. But Sam loves Christmas just as much as Emmie and soon she finds herself enjoying the things she planned with Grant with him. So who really is the jingle to Emmie’s bells? Festive and sweet this book will definitely put you in the Christmas mood and make you want to take a trip to Christmas Point. Emmie was likable, but oh so frustrating. The girl was clearly with the wrong guy, I mean there is no way Grant would have participated in this Christmas scavenger hunt and I’m not sure how she could’ve ever thought he would? Sam was great, he loved Christmas but I think he balanced over the top Emmie out well. The town of Christmas Point was Holiday perfection! Ice-skating, gingerbread cookie making, tree lighting ceremony, and even a dog named Dasher. This book is not for the faint of Christmas heart, it is a Christmas book for the Christmas lover! I suggest reading it in front of a cozy fire with Christmas music in the background, a cup of hot chocolate and twinkling lights on the tree.This book in emojis: 🎄 🎁 🐶 ☃️ 🤶 ⛸ 🍪

One of my favorite holiday series is The Christmas Prince. In fact, I'm counting down the days until Netflix releases the next one for 2019! When I chose to read Finding Christmas I had no idea that the author for these two, book and movies, were one and the same. I was expecting something far too cheesy from Finding Christmas, but Schaler proved me wrong! Yes, it is very heavy on the Christmas theme - as it should be - but at the heart of the story we find two people struggling after personal loss and their need to hold on to their Christmas Spirit regardless. I loved all of the characters, especially Ruby the innkeeper, and the town itself sounded amazing. Finding Christmas definitely has put me in the holiday mood and I think would you as well.

This was the cheesiest, most wholesome thing I've ever read, and I fucking loved every second of it. It read exactly like a Hallmark/Netflix Christmas special, which was exactly what I was hoping for from the woman who wrote A Christmas Prince. Also, the shameless self-plugs in this book are the kind of energy I'm living for. I really hope this gets turned into a movie one day!

I liked this! Not as cheesy as Christmas Camp was.Emmy planned some festive Christmas dates with her boyfriend only for him to be too busy with work, while a sweet stranger was always available to do the dates with her instead. I enjoyed hearing about the festive dates and I liked Sam a lot! Not much else to say. Basic Christmas story but a fun one!

This was just like watching a Hallmark movie. I devoured this book and I never put it down, It was a great holiday read and I want to go to Christmas Point so bad now. I am a huge fan of Schaler's , now on to her new Christmas book.

This was my first book by Karen Schaler, and it didn’t disappoint! I loved all of the Christmasy things in the book!! Makes me want Christmas to last all year round because I love Christmas so much.I liked the romance between Emmie and Sam. They were cute together, and I loved all of the Christmas activities they did together. Also, can I please visit Christmas Point!? That’s my kind of town. The cover is so cute too! This book was like reading a Hallmark movie! I highly recommend. (354 more days until Christmas!)

Emmie loves Christmas. So much that she goes almost overboard on decorating and celebrating. Without a doubt, she loves Christmas so much because her parents (both deceased) loved Christmas and worked to make it an extra special time for her. The way she loves the holiday season is a lot but it made me smile while I was reading because I feel like I have the potential for going overboard with the holidays sometimes myself. Emmie has planned a short vacation at holiday-themed Christmas Point, and her boyfriend Grant's enthusiasm for the trip is basically nonexistent. So Emmie decides she'll enjoy the vacation jam-packed with holiday activities on her own because she loves Christmas that much. Interestingly, Sam shows up to the same town where Emmie is. He loves Christmas just as much as she does, and for similar reasons. The two join one another during their holiday-themed adventures, and naturally Emmie begins to wish she had someone just like Sam to enjoy Christmas with. It seems that Sam places the same amount of importance on the holidays that she does. They're a match, really. Except that Emmie has a boyfriend back home. I ADORE everything about the way that Emmie and Sam end up in the same place. Their journey there was so much fun to read and was so clever. I smiled a lot while I read. I also felt some tension where the romance is concerned. Emmie's boyfriend doesn't show up for her and Sam is there to fill in all of the gaps, but Grant is still her boyfriend. It made me sad that Emmie kept making excuses for Grant when the reality was that the two just had different priorities and interests where Christmas is concerned. That being said, I was totally #TeamSam and I really did want Emmie and Sam to find a way to be together. Because of these conflicted feelings and because of how long they lasted, I sort of wish Grant wouldn't have been in the story at all. The vacation in Christmas Point was great and the people that Emmie and Sam met there were fantastic and easy to love. I especially loved the lady that owned the bakery and the lady that owned the Inn. Karen Schaler writes amazing, well-rounded characters that I would like to know in my real life. This one is bursting at the seams with Christmas. It's an easy addition to my annual holiday reads list and it is clear to me that Karen Schaler is one of my must-read authors. I still think that Christmas Camp is my favorite, but I have loved all of the holiday stories that she has written. Just like Christmas Camp and Christmas Camp Wedding from a year ago, this one would make a perfect Hallmark or Netflix movie.

In this festive holiday read, the protagonist Emmie loves everything Christmas related. Having recently lost both of her parents in a tragic car accident, she is determined to keep alive the memories of all her past Christmases and to keep the spirit of the season which her parents conveyed to her. One of the traditions she most enjoyed was a holiday inspired treasure hunt which she plans for her workaholic boyfriend, Grant, who has promised to take some much needed time off work over the Christmas season and allow Emmie to plan her perfect holiday. When the first clue of the scavenger hunt gets into the wrong hands, Emmie’s Christmas plans look to be ruined. But then she meets Sam for the second time in less than a week and finds another heart which has much spirit as she does.I loved this book which has put me into the Christmas spirit in September! It is charming, and full of kind generous characters who truly display the spirit of the season. I look forward to watching the movie version of this book! Thank you to Edelweiss Plus and William Morrow Publishing for the ARC of this book in exchange for the honest review provided here.

I feel like I just overdosed on Christmas. This was adorable, a true Hallmark Christmas romance, which I expected nothing less coming from the writer of The Christmas PrinceIt was magical.❆ The cozy village of Christmas Point. ❆ The Christmas scavenger hunt. Emmie, in hopes to surprise her boyfriend, leaves a scavenger hunt where the final destination is Christmas Point, the perfect getaway for the season. Unfortunately, her plan goes amiss when the wrong guy, Sam, follows her clues. I loved this setup. ❆ The pure, childlike happiness that Emmie shares with everyone around her. ❆ The romance, of course. I felt the spark from their first encounter. Sam was perfectly charming.It was predictable in the way every Christmas romance is, and very over-the-top cheerful, but that’s what I wanted. I came for the warm and fuzzies and that’s what I got, along with the urge to bake cookies and play Christmas songs.

4.75 starsFinding Christmas was everything I hoped a Christmas story would be and it definitely helped me find Christmas amidst the stress and chaos of the season. It was whimsical, hopeful, magical and utterly delightful. It was also chalk full holiday cheer, Christmas traditions and seasonal festivities.Finding Christmas was definitely a Hallmark movie-type book, and admittedly a bit sappy, but I loved it for that very reason. I did find the main female character to be a little frustrating in her relationship with her current boyfriend and rather inconsiderate of her male counterpart in the story, but despite that, it was a wonderful story with the perfect conclusion.

This book starts out slower compared to Christmas camp. But holy boy does karen know how to write amazing Christmas stories. This was sooo cute and just feel your with them on the adventure and so heart felt. Sam I thought down to earth character and witty and just so calm and was great. But to say each iv read for Christmas camp and now this she has became my fav Christmas romance author and blows Debbie macomber out of the water and suggest everyone should read these books 😍😍😍.

Finding Christmas by Karen Schaler was a perfect Christmas story. It's one of those slow burning reads. The plot started off by introducing the characters. The main problem was a no show boyfriend and the wrong guy who fits the checklist so perfectly. Maybe, the wrong guy is the right guy. But Emmie has her hands full. Planning a Christmas getaway for her and her boyfriend to enjoying everything Christmas has to offer.By celebrating Christmas, this Christmas Queen, keeps her parents memories alive. I felt the immediate heartache and pain that Emmie felt from losing them. She dives head first into Christmas spirit. There's also her annoying On Track App. Even the wrong guy, Sam, and a cute dog name, Dasher, hate the app. However, getting Emmie off the app is impossible. Sam is the hot Christmas guy visiting Christmas Point. He is a writer who missed his deadlines. He avoided his agent until she came to chase him down. Sam isn't sure if he will ever write another novel. Until, a Christmas scavenger clue led him to a woman who loves Christmas everything. Something changed, and Sam won't give up easily. He too suffered a major loss. His sister died. All in all, this heartwarming tale, has enough Christmas magic to melt my heart. I loved the cast of characters. Emmie, Sam, Dasher, and the rest of  the Christmas Point cast. Each one added to the story. They gave it depth, meaning, and heart. Loss, grief, hope, and a bit of romance can be found in this read. I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

Emmie Sanders nickname is Miss Christmas. That's how much she likes the Holidays. Celebrating Christmas with as many activities as she can do is also a way to honour her parents who died in a car accident years ago and gave her the joy of Christmas traditions. This year, Emmie planned to share it with her boyfriend and prepared a scavenger hunt that's supposed to end with a romantic getaway. But there's two problems with her plan : the wrong guy received the clues and her boyfriend can't seem to be able to say no to work. For Sam, it doesn't matter that the clues wasn't intended for him. He had fun following them and maybe staying at the beautiful inn in Christmas Point will give him inspiration for the new book he's supposed to be writing. But maybe he'll find something else too?I've never read this author before, nor seen any of the movies she wrote but I already had Christmas Camp waiting for me at home. The thing is, when I saw this adorable cover at the bookstore, I couldn't resist and I'm glad for it because Finding Christmas was everything I expect and want from a Holidays romance. I especially liked how the dog on the cover have a role on the story even if he doesn't belong to either MC. My favorite scene was the snowmen. Such a touching moment! hope this book will be made into a movie. I'd definitively watch it!
