I am joining the 12 Books of Christmas Challenge this year, hosted by Katie at Just Another Girl and Her Books. Check out the rules (also posted below) and the achievement levels on Katie’s site! 

Below are my 12 hopefuls. Maybe I’ll read all 12 and claim Santa Status–maybe not. Either way it will be fun as I’m a big fan of seasonal reading!

The Murder Before Christmas (Charlie Kingsley Mysteries #1) by Michele Pariza Wacek

The Rules

This is supposed to be a fun, stress-reducing challenge, so the rules will be minimal.

1. Tell everybody about the 12 Books of Christmas challenge (#12BooksOfXmas). 
2. Build a blog post or create a Goodreads shelf of the books you intend to read for the challenge (you can see Katie’s here). You can absolutely read outside your list, if the desire strikes, this is just a starting point. Then come back and add your name to the linkup. (Be sure to visit the other participants to see what they plan on reading.) Bloggers, please link back to this page so that others can find the challenge as well should they wish to participate. 
3. Reviews must be posted between November 24th and December 24th. The review linkup will open on November 24th. Be sure to bookmark Katie’s page so you can come back and add your reviews!
4. Any winter holiday themed books count (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.) You can check out the books read in 2017 by clicking here, 2018 by clicking here, 2020 by clicking here 
5. There are four achievement levels for this challenge, so read as few or as many books as you want.
6. Have fun!
