It's that time of year again! And this year, I've decided to start a little earlier than last. Starting November 15, 2010 (it's a Monday!) the Holiday Reading Challenge will commence. That's right! I'm starting earlier this year in order for you guys to have more chances at winning at the end of every week. I'm still considering what the winners will get. I'm thinking it doesn't all have to be about books (well, it does!), but I'm also thinking Christmas book marks, tote bags, mugs with hot chocolate, tea, etc. What do you think? Of course, I'll have to throw in books as well.
Challenge Requirements:
1- Challenge will start Monday, November 15 and will end Friday, December 31.
2- You can read anywhere from 1 to 5 books for the challenge and, of course, if you're like me, you are more than welcome to surpass that number.
3- And now, here's the clincher... they must be holiday related books. That's right, the holiday doesn't really matter, but it would be more "jolly" if your choices were Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.
4- The size of the book does not matter, nor does the genre. It is also okay for the book to overlap with other challenges. The only thing I ask is that they are not children's books. YA is okay. And so are re-reads. I for one tend to read the same books every Christmas - they are tradition.
5- To sign up - leave a link back to your challenge post. There will also be a post for review links as well as one for challenge wrap-ups.
6- And.... there will be goodies. That's right, we'll call them presents. At the end of every week that the challenge is running I will choose one winner from the review links. Meaning the more books you read, review and link up, the more chances you have at winning a "present".
If you'd like to sign up for the 2010 Holiday Reading Challenge, please link up your challenge post with the list of books you plan to read (this list is not set in stone and can be changed as you please):

2010 Holiday Reading Challenge!

How exciting :D
Seriously though...I cannot believe it's almost that time of year again! Wow, this year is just FLYING by!
♥Isalys
Gosh I'd need a list of book for this..
Awesome challenge!
This challenge looks really fun! It'd be my first challenge, though- exciting!
Can you use books other than YA like biography's or Chicken Soup for the Soul books?
Thanks! :)
@Morgan - Yes! You are a-ok to do anthology's, memoirs, biography's, etc. as long as they are holiday related.
I totally agree with Danny!
Great idea!
I've started my holiday reads already :)
Great idea. I will make my post sometime this week and come back to add my link. :)
Nely, Can you delete my link and I'll relink to my actual post? Thanks.

@Karen: it's been deleted.
Can you tell us a list of books related to the challenage?
@basama aal: I promise to have one up tomorrow
I love the button. I have several Christmas books I want to read this year. This is the perfect reading challenge for them. :)
Excellent! I like to read quite a few holiday related books over the next two months. Mine will be mostly mysteries and paranormal...
I'll be in as soon as I can come up with a list of potential books. Or on Nov. 15, whichever comes first. =)
I've been looking for this challenge to begin! Thanks for hosting it. I love Christmas and the holidays and it was no trouble at all coming up with a list. The members of our book club are reading a Christmas selection this month. We'll each read a different book and have a book talk about them December 1st.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
One of my favorite challenges! I'm in - I'll post a list of books in the next few days.
Yay, I love Holiday Reading Challenges. My post is up with books and all. As you can tell, I've been anticipating this!
My Holiday Book List
Can you delete my link? I'll re-link to the actual blog post.
I also have another question. Can you use middle grade, or does that fall under childrens? Thank you!
@Morgan - Done :)
Thanks :)
I love your generous heart! Thank you! I'm looking forward to this challenge, and I'm gonna try to make my reads holiday themed. :D
Oh great! I'll get a post up soon. Love the challenge button :)
hoping to join in on the challenge. I'm 9 months preggers and having my little boy via c section on Nov 16th if not before. Things will be crazy with having a new baby around, so want to try and read at least one holiday book.
@Boo Bear's Place - a new baby!! how exciting. I hope you can play along but you are definitely excused if you can't =D
I love the button. Thanks for the challenge.
@Morgan - yes, feel free to read all the middle grade books you'd like for the challenge. My main concern is that people aren't reviewing picture books, because those are much quicker and easier to read/review then the rest of us who reading 100+ pages of each book.
I saw your challenge mentioned on Mary's (Bookfan) site and knew it was one for me. Can I ask one thing though - can we read a mix of holiday materials or do we have to pick just the one (say Christmas)?
@Petty Witter -You can read anything your little hear desires as long as a holiday is involved. Which holiday is up to you. I chose Christmas but that is just my personal choice. It can be Valentine's, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc. :)
I have seen some really good Christmas books out there and I'm in for the Challenge!
Sounds like fun so I am signing up! Thanks!
Yay, thanks for organizing such a great reading challenge! I LOVE Christmas and reading challenges, so I'm very excited to combine the 2! :-)
I don't know what to read yet. I'll have to come back to this!!
Yay!
I was just putting together a holiday reading list!
I don't know what I am going to read, but I hope to go to the library and see if I can find a few in stock.
Got my list; you can find it here.
Sounds fun! Count me in : )
Working on compiling my list this is a great challenge
I cannot believe it's time to do this challenge again!! Eek! Where has the year gone?! LOL.
Love you!
OH Goodie Goodie Gum Drops I'm so glad I stumbled on your blog off to set up a post. Thanks this looks like so much fun!
Wow, what a great idea. I'm in... off to write the post now!

Ultimately, this ruined the entire story for me and it almost made me turn people away from
the film. Watch a few music videos from 80s pop mavens on You - Tube to
get inspiration for your outfit. The video then provides
a background to how the stain came to be, from the growing of the tomato plant, to his mom making him
homemade spaghetti sauce, and everything in between.
