Welcome to the All Things Winter Challenge!

Duration - December 22nd through March 20th


This is the Winter version of our Reading Through the Seasons Challenge, and I'm posting this early to give everyone a chance to plan ahead. Just like all the other Not Too Challenging Challenges, you decide how to make it work for you.

Some examples of ways to make a book fit:

**A character’s name is Winter.
** Winter celebrations such as Christmas, Hanukah, Valentines Day, etc…
**Books published or taking place in December, January, February or March count, as well as books in which the word December, January, February or March is used anywhere in the book or title.
**Books with Winter related words in the title such as chill, cold, ice, snow, etc…
**Books with Wintery images on the cover.
**Books that make you want to bundle up and read!
*****Most importantly, if you can tie it to Winter, it works!*****

Please!!! When you post your stats updates, do it like this: x/12 or "3 down..." etc., because this way it’s much easier for me to keep track of. I’m not getting any younger, and neither are my eyes!

Feel free to list your books at any time, and change them or alter your challenge right up through March 20th.

The only restriction to this challenge is that books can only count if they were started on or after December 22nd and must be finished on or before March 20th.

To Participate, please sign up below!

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Definitely sign me up.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments You bet, Danielle!!


message 6: by Lisa Kay (last edited Dec 03, 2011 03:57PM) (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments Oh, I just came back for the bookstore where I bought A Winter Scandal by Candace Camp ... oh and Angels of Darkness by Ilona Andrews - it is the season for them, right? Also A Texas Christmas by Jodi Thomas Sit, Stay, Slay (Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery, #1) by Linda O. Johnston . So, do you think the last can be counted b/c it is pronounced the same as "sleigh"?


message 7: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (last edited Dec 03, 2011 02:24PM) (new)

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments The last one can count because it sounds like sleigh, or because it was originally published in January :)

And it sounds like you've got some great ones there. I'm so glad you're loving Jodi Thomas!!!


message 8: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments I ADORE Jodi Thomas! Even her contemporaries.


message 9: by Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny (new)

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Me too, Lisa. That story by her in A Texas Christmas was really good. Loved the hero and the heroine.


message 10: by Lisa Kay (new)

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 4782 comments It was! Oh goodie!

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 3737 comments Danielle's WLLK All Things Winter Challenge
Duration: December 22, 2011- March 20, 2012
Goal: Read 20 books that are related in any way to the month of winter, including cold weather, titles related to winter, or authors or characters with winter-themed names. Even a cover that has a winter theme. If can related it to the season of winter, it's fair game.

UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish | 8001 comments Oh, Alycia!!! Beautiful! I was trying to find something blingy, too. I kept searching for "Magical Winter" images and nothing came to me.


message 21: by UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant (new)

Thanks! I wanted to find something that looked like a winter hr scene. It didn't need to be animated but I thought it was pretty :)
