It’s that time of year again….you know the one where there are parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting and caroling out in the snow ? Ok so maybe no snow yet but I am definitely getting into the holiday spirit which means my reading list changes a bit. I don’t know what it is about this time of the year but my usual reads of sci-fi and fantasy are put to the side in favor of sweet (think Hallmark movie sweet) romance, the kind that I could see myself reading in front of a fire, sipping hot chocolate and playing footsie with my sweetie…you know if I had a fireplace to sit in front of that is 😉 SO I say all this to say that Kimba @ the Caffeinated Book Reviewer is hosting the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon again this year November 9th-15th and I’m super excited to participate again!

My Goal
The readathon is a few days longer this year than last year so I plan to read 5 books from my backlist TBR. Last year I picked up a ton of Christmas-themed freebies on my Kindle and if you’ve noticed on my Sunday Posts the last month or so I’ve picked up a few more. SO I have several books to choose from. Here are the books I plan to choose from and if possible read them all:
