It already has begun...

It's that time of year again (although it may be a little early for some) and I am announcing The Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge. I actually hosted a Christmas Reading Challenge last year through my book blog, but I changed the name this year and decided to host it over here. I hope you will join me!

Now, on to the details and sign up: Click here to sign up~ Please note this is not my challenge so do not sign up on my blog. thanks

* challenge will run from Friday, November 26, 2010 (Black Friday) through January 6, 2010 (Twelfth Night or Epiphany).
* cross overs with other challenges is totally permitted AND encouraged!
* These must be Christmas novels, books about Christmas lore or a book of Christmas short stories (sorry, no children's books, but YA novels are okay).
* visit this POST for a list of new Christmas books for 2010. Also, Richard Paul Evans has a new book out this year, Promise Me. His Christmas books are among my favorites during the Christmas season.
* Levels:

--Candy Cane: read 1 book
--Mistletoe: read 2-4 books
--Christmas Tree: read 5 or 6 books (this is the fanatic level...LOL!)

* Please sign up in the linky below. On the day the challenge starts, I will post a linky for reviews.
