Yeah!!!!! Wowhhooooo!!!!
Can you tell I'm excited?
Despite my first holiday reading challenge not being too big a success last year - seasonal reading material seemed to completely bypass my local library - I've been looking forward to doing another one ever since .... well, for a while now so was pleased when I saw THIS mentioned by Mary @ Bookfan.
Hopefully better prepared this year, I've been noting down some of the books I know have been read by you and intend to march (that's right, march) into our library and
Running from the 15th of November until the 31st of December, Nely, this years hostess with the mostest asks the following:-
* You read anywhere from 1 to 5 books for the challenge - though you are welcome to read more.
* The size of the book does not matter, nor does the genre. It is also okay for the book to overlap with other challenges. The only thing I ask is that they are not children's books. YA is okay. And so are re-reads.
* And now, here's the clincher... they must be holiday related books. That's right, the holiday doesn't really matter, but it would be more "jolly" if your choices were Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.
* To sign up - leave a link back to your challenge post. There will also be a post for review links as well as one for challenge wrap-ups.
* And.... there will be goodies. That's right, we'll call them presents. At the end of every week that the challenge is running I will choose one winner from the review links. Meaning the more books you read, review and link up, the more chances you have at winning a "present".
Care to join me? Click HERE to go visit Nely and sign up for what sounds like a fun challenge.
Whoops! Nearly forgot to mention some of the books I'm considering.

THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE CLUB by Ann Pearlman. (Vivienne)
MISTLETOE AND MAGIC by Lisa Cach and others. (Teresa)

All the best with the challenge!
I love "A Christmas Carol".
Thats a great challenge, very interesting!!
Best wishes to you...
Have a great weekend:)
A couple of the titles are new to me so I'll be watching for your reviews. I hope you enjoy them all :)
I'd love to join, but I just can't I have so many books to read in the remainder of 2010 that I'm only allowing myself (1) Holiday themed book:) Have fun
Good luck!! Last year's was my first challenge, too. I think the main reason I did it was because I'd never done any challenges before and I was anxious to. I'll pass this time since it's really the hardest time of year for me to find the time to read.
I look forward to reading all your reviews of these!!
Good luck with it!
Maybe one day I'll get around to reading A Christmas Carol.
