I have just discovered this wonderful
annual reading challenge, hosted by
Michelle @ The Christmas Spirit!!
This is a truly beautiful blog that celebrates
the Christmas Spirit all year long!!
Since I happen to love Christmas myself,
I am totally enchanted by the idea of keeping
the spirit of the season alive throughout the year,
so I certainly want to participate in this challenge!
Michelle also has another terrific blog,
which is totally dedicated to historical fiction,
and that is a reading genre I do enjoy
from time to time.
This challenge began on Monday, November 21, 2011,
and will run through Friday, January 6, 2012.
Here are some additional details, copied from
The Christmas Spirit:
Cross-overs with other challenges are
totally permitted AND encouraged!
These must be Christmas novels, books about
Christmas lore,
books of Christmas short stories,
books about Christmas crafts,
or (for the first time)children's Christmas books!
Visit this POST for a list of new Christmas books for 2011.
There are three reading levels, as well.
The one I'm planning to do is the Mistletoe Level,
which consists of reading two to four books!
Additionally, there is a giveaway attached, so be sure to visit
Michelle's blog at the link above,
in order to get more information, as well as to link up,
since this is also a blog hop!
These are the books I will be reading!
(As a matter of fact, I've already started on the first one.)
