Happy Friday, friends!
Today I thought I would bring you a Christmas book recommendation. I’m recommending Southern Snow by B.R. Goodwin. I’ve had the pleasure of actually meeting B.R. in person which makes this post feel extra fun for me. Have y’all started your Christmas reading yet? If not, be sure to add this to your TBR pile for a book full of faith and Christmas cheer.
About the Book
For the last three years, Georgia has called the quirky southern town of Sugartree home, dutifully moving back to manage her parent’s coffee shop after her father suffered a heart attack and finding contentment in her busy schedule and the occasional shenanigans of her three younger siblings.
When Lakeland Lovett, troubled son of the local pastor, wafts through the door of Good Start Coffee like a tantalizing cup of hot chocolate, Georgia promises herself she won’t fall prey to his charms and annoyingly perfect face again. She’s not the girl she was in high school who foolishly put her trust and heart in his careless hands. She knows better now, and more importantly, she knows Lake… at least she thinks she does.
But with Lake strutting around Sugartree, driving Georgia crazy all over again with his pesky nicknames, dumb dimples, and swoon-worthy attention laser focused on her, she starts to find any promises to maintain her distance from Lakeland Lovett harder to preserve, and Georgia begins to see him, and her life in Sugartree, in a whole new way.

My Thoughts
It was refreshing to pick up a Christmas read and have a book not only have humor but faith! This was my first read by Ms. Goodwin and it won’t be my last. Knowing this is the first in a series (Sugartree Winter Romance) means I can’t wait to read the subsequent books.
There were many things about this novel.
- The faith message was fantastic.
- All the Christmas feels and the sweet moment of “Southern Snow.” #iykyk
- The secondary characters alternated between making me laugh and wanting to read their own stories.
- The hero and his faith journey
- The heroine because I can so relate to her.
There’s lot of Christmas, a great Georgia setting and peach references, and family drama that will pull you in.

My favorite thing about snow is watching it fall. It is so quiet , calming, and peaceful. It also looks so beautiful on the trees and such outside.
Hi Toni! As a Michigander, I enjoy the many facets of snow – dry and small crystals on frigid days or with warmer temperatures wet and slushy, which is excellent for building a snowman or having a snowball fight. While teaching always enjoyed a mid January snow storm, which results in a snow day. Not fond of early snows (October) or ice storms, which can result in loss of power. The uniqueness of each snowflake reminds us that we are all unique in God’s eyes. Best wishes. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate.
It refreshes and beautifies a drab landscape. I also enjoy walking in a snowfall of soft, fluffy flakes.
My favorite thing about snow is that it makes everything more quite. The first snow fall is the year is exceptionally beautiful.
I’ve a Florida Native, and have NEVER seen snow! The closest I’ve gotten is slush!! A friend invited me to spend Christmas in TX with her family in 2021, we were sure I’d see snow as they had a white Christmas the year before. NOPE! It didn’t snow until after I came home. I’m getting another chance in 2024, as she’s invited me to go again! And, I’ve already been reading Christmas books!
I like the way snow transforms the ugly into something beautiful. The last Christmas we spent with my sister (who passed away in 2009), she lived in South Lake Tahoe, and it snowed!!! That was really special.
It does feel peaceful when it falls.
I love how snow makes the world look so peaceful.
Yeah ice storms are the worst!
I like to see the trees covered in snow and my favorite thing is a snow day!
It does beautify a landscape!!
So agree.
I hope you get your chance to see it one day!
I’m so glad you have that precious memory!
Same
My kids love a snow day as well. :)
My favorite thing about snow is watching our grandkids having fun playing in the snow and sledding!
I’ve never been sledding.
Really? It’s so fun! And a lot safer than skiing!
I’ve never read anything by this author but it sounds greatvso thanks for tge recommendation!
We don’t get a lot of snow where I am in the South West of the UK, but apart from how excited it makes my kids, I love the way snow changes the light – if it snows overnight, you know it’s there without even looking outside to check because the way the sunrise is reflected is so different.
My favorite thing about snow is how it brings beauty and life to everything around it. Sometimes when I’m inside curled up by the fire, I feel like I’m in a snow globe admiring the Lord’s beautiful creation!
I was in Alaska as a 5th grader and loved the snow. Now, at 71, I have no desire to be in the snow. I wouldn’t mind seeing it, as long as I don’t have to get out in it.
We don’t see snow very often in Georgia. More in North Georgia than where I live.
My favorite thing about snow is watching it fall if I do not have to be out in it. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
Even though I live in Florida now, I was born and raised in NYC so I have some memories of snow. I remember thinking how pretty fresh snow looked. So clean and fresh looking.
My granite thing about snow is that it stays up north! 😂 The dusting we get once every 5 or 6 years is enough for me lol
