    Hola, chica!

    It's fun to see you doing this! Now...what would I pick if I win? Sheesh...I have NO idea!!! Lol All of your suggestions sound great though! I really like to read "feel good", sometimes cheesy, Christmas books for Christmas time. Perhaps you'll suggest the best ones to me since I think you know my tastes ;)

      Hi, chica!

      Oh, thanks!! Yes, I really enjoy doing Christmas giveaways, even in July, since, as you know, Christmas is my favorite time of year!

      Like you, I prefer reading "feel good" books at Christmastime. For me, that usually means reading Regency Christmas romance novels, so, if you've never read one of those, I definitely recommend the Mary Balogh book above, I've read "A Christmas Bride" as a separate book, and LOVED it! It's included in the book above.

      I think you'd enjoy any of the books on my list, but remember, they're only suggestions. So do some browsing on Amazon, and see what book calls out to you. Or select one of the books above.

      Whatever book you pick if you're the winner, I'll have one of Santa's elves send it to you, because good ol' Santa is currently on vacation in Miami Beach, working on his sun tan!! Lol.

      Thanks for participating and commenting!! : )

      Hi, Linda!

      Well, the question was what type of books you like to read during the Christmas season. I like to read pretty much all kinds of books too, but during the Christmas season, I prefer to read Regency romance novels.

      Thanks for participating and commenting!! : )

    I like to read various genres at Christmastime. I like Christmas cookbooks as well as religious-themed books. For fiction, I like curling up with a cozy mystery or romance around the holidays.

      Hi, Elizabeth!

      Sounds great!! I myself much prefer either romance novels (preferably of the Regency period), or religious books, but cookbooks sound VERY yummy!! Gotta give that a try sometime, and fix up something delicious!

      Thanks for participating and commenting!! : )

    I tend to continue reading the same types of books I usually read all year long. I do read lots of Christmas-themed books with my children. I don't read books of a religious nature, though I read some spiritual books. Thanks for a great giveaway.

      Hi, Michelle!

      Well, if you're the winner, you can definitely pick out a Christmas-themed book to read with your kids! If you decided to choose a book for yourself instead, it would have to be Christmas-themed.
