Sonya Heaney Oops. I've already read so many Christmas books because of my review books! They started being sent out in July, which was just weird.

LOL I remember the holidays all being wrong when I was a reviewer.

If you'd like to do the challenge and share some of your favorites from July, that will be fine with me. ~ Kim

This one was easy since I adore Christmas themed books. I lost a lot of sleep but I finally have the Christmas spirit. :)

Congratulations! I will definitely have some sort of Christmas challenge next year especially since I love them so much. :) And, yes I noticed we used many of the same books. Just means we both have excellent taste. :)
