The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge

I have chosen to take part in The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge, it just sounds so cosy and again my husband within a minute gave me loads of suggestions. This time he just brought his Kindle out which already had a folder called Christmas Tales containing 18 Christmas books / tales.

I have chosen the level of Christmas Tree to read 5 or 6 books and I have also chosen the additional level of Fa La La La Films to watch a bunch of Christmas films.

My list of books (or list of suggested books)

1. The Christmas Books by William M. Thackery
2. Twas the Night before Christmas by Clement C: Moore
3. Christmas Tales and Christmas Verse by Eugene Field
4. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
5. A Christmas Greeting: A Series of Stories by Hans Christian Andersen
6. Old Christmas by Washington Irving
7. Christmas Eve by Robert Browning

These are all quite old Christmas books so I think I will take a look at the list of new Christmas books as well. We will see.

My list of films (I will only mention a few as I have a huge list on the to watch list)

1. Jack Frost
2. The Littlest light on the Christmas tree
3. Christmas shoes
4. A Christmas Carol: several different versions
5. Polar Express
6. It is a Wonderful Life ( I need to watch this every year)

I am so looking forward to this challenge.

Thankfully Reading Weekend, November 25-27, 2011

I am ready for yet another book challenge. This time it is Thankfully Reading Weekend.

The weekend includes the 1st Sunday in Advent and I have already planned a few other things such as decorating the house for Christmas, baking a ton of cookies and watching the village Christmas tree lighting


I am quite new to these book challenges, but I love to read so any excuse to read is great.

Read-a-Thon

Getting ready for the read-a-thon.

Should be fun!
