Is this a Hallmark movie, or HMM? Both ar stated in the header above. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan! I apologize for my error. This is a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film ONLY. I corrected the info above. Appreciate you letting me know.
DeleteAren't the images wonderful for this one? I especially love the one with the falling snow!
Blessings, Net
If this movie is half as great as the pics, then it's going to be a winner- as is everything with Ryan Paevey!
DeleteI agree, Em, all the pictures are wonderful... and Ryan Paevey is pretty nice to watch in these Hallmark movies! :)
DeleteBlessings, Net
I'm so excited about the movie!!
ReplyDeleteWe are super excited, too, Nancy! Looks like a lovely story!

That is the coolest Christmas tree made out of books. Nel would love that, as she's a book lover. Love all the pictures, Net. I can't wait for the Hallmark movies. It sounds like it's going to be a good movie-watching season. : )

I agree, Sheri, it's going to be an excellent season of Christmas movie watching. I, too, was taken in immediately, as a book lover, by that Christmas tree/books!!! It is so creative and fun... I couldn't help from wondering how many books would it take to do it? And what do you do with books of different sizes? Would be fun to try it!

I had so much fun writing this book, and coming up with the solution (the book tree!) for decorating The Book Bea. I got the chance to visit the set while they were filming and I loved every scene. I think you'll love the book AND the movie. Hugs and happy reading~
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing, Nancy! Your book sounds like a wonderful read, and I can't wait to see Ryan Paevey and Scottie Thompson bring these characters to life!
DeleteAlso, love your idea of the book Christmas tree! That's so creative! I'm sure it will inspire many to try it this Christmas!
I so appreciate you stopping by to share! :)
Blessings to you! Net
Ryan Paevey. Im in haha. But is the women not a little older than Ryan?
ReplyDeleteMy DishNetwork guide doesn't show this movie on this date. interesting.
ReplyDeleteHello Kris Ann! I just double-checked, and that is the correct premiere date/time for "Hope at Christmas." It is Tuesday, November 20th at 9pm/8c. on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
DeleteYou can also see the time on Hallmark's web-site, here: http://www.hallmarkmoviesandmysteries.com/hope-at-Christmas
Maybe if you check again later, it will be right. Be sure to check the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel on your guide.
Hope this info helps! Blessings, Net
Kris Ann- It's not just you. I'm on regular cable and starting Monday, November the 19th at 10AM, the channel guide for Hallmark is exactly the same as Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I attempted to record a few of the new movies on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this coming week and they don't show up because all I see is the channel guide for the regular Hallmark Channel. Hopefully this is an isolated incident or it could really impact the ratings for the Movie & Mysteries Channel since it's now impossible to record any of the new offerings.
DeleteI have Sling TV and it's the same there too. The Hallmark Channel guide is correct, but the HM&M guide is an exact copy of the regular channel. Something is messed up. At the moment I have both Sling and Philo (another online TV service) because I'm switching to Philo, and the HM&M guide is correct on Philo.
DeleteI'm sorry I don't think this is going to work for me. I know she is only a few years older than Ryan Paevey, but she looks a lot older.
ReplyDeleteHope at Christmas. Well acted. Good movie. Hallmark cliche; somone from city returns to small town after inheriting grandmas house. Gives up job of a lifetime in city for love in small town. Buys beloved book store. Story lines similar..but we love them all. Dont we? -Debi U.
