Yay! Good luck with your reading Kimba! That Debbie Macomber book looks good. I haven’t read one of hers in a long time.

I hope everyone has a lot of fun with this. I will have to plan my reading schedule a little better so that I can join in next year!
Jane
I’m afraid my first attempt at entering the rafflecopter was using a no longer existing email address. I’ve done it again with my current one, I hope that’s OK? Is there a way to delete my first attempt?
Kimberly
You are fine Jane. I took care of it for you 🙂
Angela @ Simply Angela
Hope at Christmas is my to read list for this challenge. I finished up an e-book last night and I’m nearly done with Dashing Through the Snow. Thanks for hosting this again!
Debbie Haupt
Great choices for your reads Kim although I’m afraid the Joe Hill would probably give Rudolf nightmares 😉
I hope you guys have fun and I’ll be longingly watching from afar because you know the books I’m reading now I’m not able to share the reviews 🙁 One day my friend one Day.
I am participating in the Black Friday bash and the book I’m giving away is on your Ho Ho Ho list.
Have fun!
