Book #4 of the read-a-thon

I finished Mistletoe Wedding by Melissa McClone last night.  I stayed up late to finish it.  There's just something about a Christmas love story.  The town of Marietta, Montana sounds like a perfect place to spend the Christmas holiday.

Today is the last day of the challenge.  I've loved it.  This was the perfect thing to jump start my reading, after having a slow fall season of reading.

Happy Reading!!

Book #3 in the read-a-thon

I finished Blame the Mistletoe by Dani Collins this morning.  It's the first in the series of books.  I enjoyed reading Liz and Blake's story.  A nice Christmas romance book.  I'm hoping the second in the series is just as good.

I'm more of a mystery girl, but I'm enjoying the Christmas romance book that I've been reading for this challenge.

Happy Reading!

Book #2 in the Ho-Ho-Ho Read-a-thon

I finished Just in Time for Christmas by Kim Boykin last night.  I really enjoyed it.  I liked the back story that Logan and Miranda had, it made their story even sweeter.  I like the Magnolia Bay setting, it sounds like a quaint town.  This was the second out of four book in the series.

My Book Goals for the Read-a-Thon:

Holiday in Magnolia Bay by Tracy Solheim
Just in Time for Christmas by Kim Boykin
Blame the Mistletoe by Dani Collins
Mistletoe Wedding by Melissa McClone
A Very Married Christmas by Erika Marks

My original goal was three books, but I'm hoping to read at least four of the five that I have listed.

We're getting colder weather, so reading Christmas and/or winter setting books are perfect.

Happy Reading!!

And it begins....

Today is the kick off for the Ho-Ho-Ho Read-a-thon.  I've completed two mini challenges this morning and read my first book!!

I created a fun MadLib at Gin's Book Notes.

And, I completed the Holiday Wish Challenge at Bookwyrming Thoughts.

I've spent the morning reading Holiday in Magnolia Bay by Tracy Solheim.  It was pretty good.  A little short on the holiday portion, just the very end took place during the Christmas season.

To get into the festive holiday mood, I baked a gingerbread cake today.  My house smelly yummy!  Perfect for reading another holiday book!

Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Read-a-Thon

I signed up for the Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Read-a-thon.  It takes place November 6-11.  The goal is to read holiday themed books or books that have winter as the setting.  My personal goal is going to be 3 books.  At this point, I haven't decided which books I'm going to read.  So, it will be fun to see what books I read during that week.

November....

Time to dust off the blog, and start posting about books again.  The weather is starting to get cold - we got our first snow a couple days ago - perfect cozy reading weather.

I'm almost done with Heather Blake's newest release - One Potion in the Grave.  I love this series.  The characters are fun.  The dialogue is hilarious.  I'm already wish for the next in the series, and it will be a while yet.

Happy Reading!!
