Every year I say I want to read some holiday themed books and for whatever reason I never get around to it. Probably because there are just so many books I want to read and there will never be enough time for me to read them all. Anyway, this year I really do want to read some holiday books so I decided to take the first step and sign up for the Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Read-a-thon.

I've read some great reviews on My True Love Gave To Me which features so many wonderful authors! I can't wait to see what you think. I need to do this as well. I've actually been in the mood to dig into some some great and epic feeling like Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin, which I really want to read just for me :)
ReplyDeleteSo many of the authors are good, so I'm hoping the book is good. :)
DeleteI hope you get a chance to read it!
Nice holiday book choices...good luck with the challenge! Thanks for visiting my WoW post.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh lucky you, you've got My True Love Gave To Me :) I really need to get my hands on this one, there are some great authors and how cute is that cover?!. Have a great readathon!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is so cute and I love most of the authors. :)
DeleteI read Let It Snow several years ago. Lauren Myracle is one of my favorite authors, but I think I remember her story was not my favorite in that book. I'm pretty sure I liked John Green's more...and I'm generally not a fan. I did like how the stories were related though. That was a nice touch. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThe main reason I liked them was because they were all connected. I always love that.
DeleteI am not sure if you've finished My True Love Gave to Me yet but I hope you are enjoying it! I have this one too and am looking forward to reading it but i've decided to hold off until school is over which is about two week's before Christmas - I hope this will help me unwind and get in the Christmas spirit! Good luck on your challenge!
ReplyDeleteMy True Love Gave to Me was good! Some stories I loved and some I liked. I think you are going to enjoy it. It's a good choice for a cute holiday read. I think that will be the perfect time to read it!
DeleteI want to read this one, because I love Perkins' writing! Thanks for participating with us :)
