Harlequin Books discussion

As I've mentioned several times, Christmas themed books are my favorite so of course I need to set up a reading challenge for it! Duration: 10-10-15 until 12-24-15

1. A Christmas Anthology
2. An Historical Christmas book
3. A Contemporary Christmas book
4. Christmas tree on the cover
5. A festive dessert or drink on cover
6. Author's name (first or last) starts with a C
7. A pet or child on the cover
8. Christmas is NOT in title but is still a part of the setting
9. A winter scene on the cover
10. A decorated house/church or lawn on the cover
Bonus: A wreath on the cover

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

I just came across this challenge, and I'd love to do it :-)

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. :)
