I can’t believe it is the end of the year already but let’s welcome in the Christmas season with books relating to Christmas. We have two options this month. You can choose either option. Both options have a maximum of 6 points allocated.

Option 1 categories include:
1. Books with Christmas elements on the cover, eg. Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, presents, snow, Santa etc.
2. A scene about celebrating Christmas
3. A scene about a Christmas Party
4. A book with the word Christmas in the title.
If you read 1 book from each of the four categories you can gain 2 Bonus Points.

Option 2 category include:
1. Spelling the word XMAS with different book titles. Each book needs to start with an X, M, A, S. If you can do this category you get 2 Bonus Points.

If you complete Option 1 and Option 2 you get a BONUS 10 POINTS!

Good Lord, this one might cause me stress! Lol. I did just finish one at 12:50am that fits a category! Woohoo!

Option 1: 5/4 Bonus 2
Option 2: 5/4 Bonus 2

Bonus bonus +10 √√√

Option 1
1. Books with Christmas elements on the cover, eg. Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, presents, snow, Santa etc. Frigid12-12 I love J Armentrout, so I knew this one would be pretty good. It could have been fleshed out a little more, but overall, it was good. Stuck in a blizzard with a longtime bff/crush while bad guys sabotage everything. NA romantic suspense.
2. A scene about celebrating Christmas Pretend You're Mine 12-2 25 Days (A Standalone Novel) 12-11 because, well... the cover. It was ok. Nothing to write home about.
3. A scene about a Christmas Party Unplugged 12-10 a Christmas Wedding! I can't think of a bigger party than that! Anyhow, yeah, its a 'stand alone' but not really because there is backstory all over the place.
4. A book with the word Christmas in the title. Ghosts of Christmas Past 12-9 this was a surprisingly good paranormal story. The climax built perfectly up until the end and then it went flat, but overall it was a good short read.
If you read 1 book from each of the four categories you can gain 2 Bonus Points.

Option 2 category include:
1. Spelling the word XMAS with different book titles. Each book needs to start with an X, M, A, S. If you can do this category you get 2 Bonus Points
X- Xoe: or Vampires, and Werewolves, and Demons, Oh My! 12-17 this felt more YA than NA, but its done. I'm going to read another o e because I feel like I'm cheating a little. Xavier 12-20 reread ;)
M-The Mighty Storm 12-5 I finally got around to reading this one and I really liked it.
A-All I Want for Christmas is You 12-13 super sweet HEA Christmas story.
S-Seth 12-13 this series is sort of the same story/formula over and over, but I enjoy them. Not sure why, but I do. :)

I know lol I had two ideas and couldn't decide which one I liked better so decided on both :) hope you like this one!

I have all the Men of Steel books. I finally get to read them thanks to this challenge and I'm enjoying them. These guys are over the top. Funny and very alpha male! Naughty too ;)

Awesome. I have them too and haven't read them. Are you loving them?

I have read all of the Men of Steele books, including Xavier, and I liked them. Their mom is awesome. They sort of remind me the Corps Security by Harper Sloanor the Until series byAurora Rose Reynolds

I have the Harper Sloan books to read too. But I loved the Until Series. Will have to move it up the ever growing list.

You are welcome! Half of the fun of the challenges is finding something I haven't actually read to meet the criteria. :) I'm running out of NA that I haven't read. But I do enjoy looking for the gem in the haystack, so to speak.

My problem is getting time to sit and read the ones I really want to and then finding new ones I out first :)

I know. I love the challenges but I either can't find books that I think would interest me, I've already read them or I just run out of time. I'm hoping to complete more challenges next year. I started late this year
