Christmas with Nick Klaas by rskovach

[2021 WATTYS Shortlist] When the heir to Christmas falls for a girl who hates the holiday, he risks losing his birthright to a trickster cousin unless he can melt her bah-humbug heart. * * * With his pet reindeer, grumpy gnome friends, and perpetual Yuletide cheer, Nick is the most eligible bachelor in the Arctic Circle. He's also the envy of his cousin Piet, who wants nothing more than to destroy the holiday forever. And how better to poison the heart of the most festive man in the reach of the aurora borealis than getting him to fall in love with woman who hates Christmas more than anyone else in the world? Noelle Nixon is "one of those" people. Everyone knows one: someone who lives for sun, surf, and palm trees, someone who'd rather be in perpetual vacation mode, and someone who'd gladly skip from Halloween directly to Easter rather than having to deal with the gloom, stress, and forced cheer of the "holiday season." When magical scheming during the winter equinox between a vengeful Black Buck and a clever Frost Fairy forces this New York City violinist to travel across the North Atlantic for a private holiday concert, the pure, unsuspecting Nick will risk losing his claim on Christmas in favor of his heart unless Noelle's one flaw is a deal breaker to what would otherwise be a perfect match.

The Boy in the Box: America's Unknown Child by BrielleInANutshell

This is just a collection of all public information, leads, possible suspects, and a Q&A via E-mail, all surrounding America's unknown child. Idk why, but I've kind of been obsessed with this case and I wasn't even born until almost forty years after he was discovered. After this book is completed, I will probably write a couple more. One including my opinions on the facts and speculations of what occurred, and the other including the possible connection to the "Dear David" story, and whether the story's real or not.
