Hear Them Ring // Book Review







About the Book:
Light the fire, grab a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle down for this collection of Christmas novellas! In The Christmas Watch, Lindsey works as a florist and waits for her special someone under the tree. Is Marcus the one? And if he is, why is her childhood best friend acting so weird? In Merry and Bright, Kelly can’t wait to bring her new fiancé home for Christmas, but when he breaks up with her the night before they are supposed to leave, she is devastated. Her co-worker offers to carpool with her home, but when a huge snowstorm hits, Kelly realizes God might have different plans than she thought. In My Revised Christmas List, nurse student Chloe is too busy to sleep, much less look for love. In the middle of finals, working at a diner and trying to earn enough money to keep her apartment, could it be that love was just around the corner this whole time? And in O Christmas Bree, Bree has worked at her family’s Christmas tree farm for her entire life and yet feels like she still doesn’t know her place in the world. When her dad gets sick right as the selling season starts, it’s up to Bree to keep things going. Does God have a plan even in the midst of the insanity?


I read Hear Them Ring last December/this January and really enjoyed it. Erynn Mangum has quickly become a favorite author of mine. The books that I’ve read by her so far have all been super funny, really sweet, and very relatable.
This Christmas collection has four lovely novellas: The Christmas Watch, Merry and Bright, My Revised Christmas List, and O Christmas Bree. 
I did notice that these stories are similar in ways so they were kind of predictable, but still lots of fun. 


Have you read any Erynn Mangum books?
