Operation Nativity by Jenny Pearson Review!

 Hi ForeverBookers,

I have read something else before the end of the year! I’ve just finished Operation Nativity by Jenny Pearson and I absolutely LOVED it! It was SUCH a quick read because it was sooooo funny and entertaining because of the characters!


5 Stars!


Operation Nativity tells the story of Oscar, a young boy, who just so happens needs to save Christmas to save the world as he knows it with the help of his hilarious little sister, Molly, a wise man, the angel Gabriel and Mary and Joseph. There are serious stories going on at the same time, about loss of a loved one and the nativity. There’s also entertaining artwork as well! 


I read Operation Nativity for a few readathons. They were:


Reading Rivalry - Last Christmas - because it’s Oscar’s Grandfather’s last healthy Christmas! 


Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge - A 2023 Award Winning Book - The Laugh Out Loud Book Award!


Always Fully Booked - On The Cover Challenge - Glasses - Grandmother wears glasses on the cover.


Spoilers Below!


“I mean, I definitely thought I was worth saving…” is what Oscar, our lead protagonist says at around a quarter of the way through “Operation Nativity.” He believes that HE is worth saving because of course he does! What young child, doesn’t think they’re the most important thing in the world…it’s everyone else he’s not so sure about…


I absolutely adored the characters of Operation Nativity. They’re what really makes this book worth the read. From the stuffy grandmother, to Oscar, to Molly his little sister, who was utterly adorable and hilarious every time she spoke, I really fell in love with them all. Even the characters that didn’t have much time on page, like Oscar and Molly’s grandfather and parents!


Oscar’s Grandfather is dying we’re told at the beginning of the story. That’s why Oscar, Molly and their parents have to go to their very posh Grandmother’s estate, Barlington Hall, to perform in the Nativity. 


What ensues from then on is basically an adventure for Oscar and Molly where they need to find the nativity characters, the Angel Gabriel, Steve, the Shepherd, and Mary and Joseph all in JUST a number of days! Can it be done? Can they save Christmas? You’ll need to read to find out!  


Operation Nativity is a simple but very, very, very funny story. It had me cackling, which is something I never do when I read! I loved everything from the characters, which made the story as I said above, to the plot, which although simple was fun, to how it was set in England, where I’m from. This meant I knew where places were, which was nice! I’ll definitely reread this for a few Christmases to come - HO, HO, HO! Merry Christmas 2024!


I’ll try and read one more book too!

Rebound (The Pentagon Book 1) by Rosemary Rey Review

Hey ForeverBookers,  How are you all doing today? I hope you’re well!  I’ve just finished rereading Rebound by Rosemary Rey and I loved it! From recollection I loved it the first time I read it as well, about 5 years ago.  5 Stars! I read this for a few readathons: For Reading Rivalry - A book I think should be turned into a movie - I’d love to see this play out on television, actually but a movie is close enough.  For Litwits - A love story - that’s the central plot of Rebound and the whole Pentagon trilogy.  Literary Love Affair - Soulmate Love - Perla and Matt are what I class as realistic soulmates. Popsugar Reading Challenge 2019 - A book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter - Rosemary Rey.  Rebound is set in America and is about an almost 30 year old woman, Perla Mercurio and a doctor, Matthias Keene who have a very passionate affair...do they fall in love??? You’ll have to read to find ...

Kiss Of The Basilisk (#1 Split and Swallow) by Lindsay Straube Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished my favourite book of the year, thus far.  “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  by Lindsay Straube   is an   erotic masterpiece in my eyes! It brings together everything I love in a book…forbidden romance, well written erotic scenes, it was lengthy and the characters had depth. The only thing that slightly annoyed me was the FMC’s name, Tem. I liked her full name Temperance a lot more. “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  starts with our main character, Tem following a tradition of sorts. She’s to go to be trained to have sex with the prince by a basilisk. She only goes and falls in love with the basilisk she chooses! He loves her too. What does this mean for her relationship with the prince? You’ll have to read for yourself! There were soooooo many twists and turns in  “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  that I didn’t see coming so wasn’t sure where we would end up with our characters!  I kind of wished there was a pregnancy for Tem...
