Happy Wednesday Friends :)
I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop on by The Preppy Book Princess for another book review today!
We're on day three of my five days of book reviews in a row, and I'm excited to share all about this one with you all.
Today's review is going to be for another Christmas read, and it's an especially fun one that I can't to tell you all about.
I thank you all for joining me for these reviews this week, and now let's go right ahead and jump right into the third one.
Every Day is Christmas by Karen Schaler:
Source: Publisher via NetGalley
Publisher: Hawktale Publishing
Publication Date: October 10th, 2023
Genre: Christmas Read/Contemporary/Retelling
Synopsis:
From Karen Schaler, the Emmy Award-winning writer of the Netflix sensation A Christmas Prince and Christmas Camp, the Hallmark movie and novel, comes this new heartfelt holiday do-over story about second chances and believing anything is possible at Christmas…
A shrewd money manager at the top of her game, Alexis Taylor is a proud workaholic who “humbugs” Christmas and love. The only holiday tradition Alexis embraces is always breaking up with her boyfriends right before Christmas.
But this Christmas, everything changes when Alexis gets a holiday visit of a lifetime. As Alexis’s past, present, and future collide, she’s forced to risk the one thing money can’t buy…her heart.
Inspired by Karen Schaler’s beloved Lifetime Christmas movie Every Day Is Christmas and the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, this heartwarming holiday tale of self-discovery, transformation, and empowerment is filled with heart and hope.
A Christmas romance of redemption, family, and second chances, Every Day Is Christmas is written with Karen’s signature warmth and humor, celebrating the power of true love and Christmas miracles.

My Review:
It wouldn't feel like the Christmas season without a new holiday story from Karen Schaler, and Every Day is Christmas ended up being my favorite of her stories yet.
As someone who absolutely adores A Christmas Carol, I couldn't wait to see how she was going to reimagine this beloved holiday tale. I'm happy to say that she did one of my favorite stories justice, while still putting her own beautiful and unique spin on it.
Readers follow the wildly successful Alexis Taylor who gave up on caring about anyone but herself after a horrific tragedy in her past at Christmas. Now she will walk over anyone or anything if it makes her extra money in the process, and she's barely recognizable from the sweet young woman she used to be. When a chance encounter on Christmas Eve has her freaked out that she's sure she just saw a beloved family member who passed away two decades prior, Alexis is about to experience the Christmas of a lifetime.
A heartfelt, heartwarming story about opening our hearts and remembering what truly is most important in the lives we are living, Every Day is Christmas is a beautifully written reimagining of one of the most beloved Christmas stories of all time.
Karen Schaler has truly become a wonderful voice within Christmas fiction, and I love how she always includes many extra bonus pieces at the end of each of her stories. It makes the story feel that much more immersive to the reader, and I can't recommend this beautiful contemporary romance enough.
Final Rating: 4/5.
Definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys heartwarming Christmas stories, retellings of A Christmas Carol, and/or clean Christmas romances.
Thanks so much to Hawktale Publishing for allowing me to read and review this title!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher (Hawktale Publishing) via NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and this is my honest review.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a wonderful rest of your day :)
