That Amazon series was fluffy fun, just all way too short. And I enjoyed One Big Happy Family. Hope this readathon went well!
Carla@CarlaLovesToRead
I’m loving this. I have participated in all but one challenge, but will be doing it soon. So much fun. I have read or listened to almost all the books on my tentative list. Woo Hoo.

Hello! For some reason when I click on the Becky at Sweetly Be Squared link it doesn’t go to that site?
Kimberly
Thanks I’ve fixed it.
Melissa The Reading Nerd
I’m gonna try my best to participate in HoHoHoRAT! I visited all the challenge pages and have a line up all ready to go. I started with an audiobook of The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett.
Note: the link to Holiday Haiku is not working

Fixed the link 🙂

I wish I didn’t have so many ARCs to get through that aren’t holiday themed. I can’t wait to follow along and see what everyone is reading for the season! Also, you know it is my favorite time of the year when the snow starts falling on your blog…I’ll have to get mine going soon.

Woohoo! One of my favorite short Readathons! Thanks for putting it together, Kimberly! I’ve got a stack that has been waiting for this event.
I just finished One Big Happy Family and thought it was super. Hope you like it, too.
