Full Synopsis:

The New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller, B.K. Borison is back with a whimsical new holiday romance—this time with a magical twist—that will have everyone falling in love with the Ghost of Christmas Past.

He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge.

Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future.

Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected.

With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection?

Filled with magic, mayhem, and cozy holiday charm, this swoony romance is B.K. Borison’s best yet!

Hello again, holiday hotties! Let's get together for our LAST meeting of the year and have a white elephant gift exchange! Everyone that participated last year showed UP with some great gifts!

To participate in the gift exchange, please bring a wrapped, unmarked gift valued between $20-$25. To participate in the gift exchange, you MUST bring a gift!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me and/or chat with us on Discord! https://discord.gg/DENJYC7NAH also, please be sure you're following us on instagram @bookclubhtx

location is currently TBD--I will update closer to the event!

We will conduct the gift exchange following the below rules (don't worry, I'll keep us all on track!):

1. The game will begin with each player drawing a number from a bowl.
2. Round One - The player who has number 1 will select a wrapped gift from the table of gifts, and unwrap it – showing the item to the other participants.
3. Round Two - The second round; the player who has number 2 then has the option to either a) Take a gift from the table, unwrap it and show it to the other participants OR b) Steal the unwrapped gift from the first player. If this occurs, the first player selects another gift, unwraps it, and shows it to the group.
4. Subsequent Rounds - Each following round, the player with the next highest number has the option to open a new gift, or steal an already opened gift from a previous participant. Players who have a gift stolen from them have the choice to either open a new gift, or steal a gift from another player. A player cannot possess the same gift more than once in a round, though the same gift may travel through many hands in a single round. The round ends when each player who has already had a turn has a gift. A player can steal a gift they've already had in a later round, if the opportunity arises. NOTE: a single gift can only be stolen THREE TIMES before it's locked.
5. Penultimate Round - The player with the last number has the choice to take the last unwrapped gift, or to steal any of the opened gifts. The round ends when a player selects and opens the last unwrapped gift.
6. Final Round and Wrap Up - The final round goes back to the player with number 1. This player has the option to either keep the gift they ended up with, or force a trade for any other gift. Once this occurs, the game is over, and each player keeps the gift they have.

as always, I look forward to seeing everyone!
