What's on your Christmas Reading List? (+Giveaway)

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Beverley Kendall was not able to provide a scene for the event today. In lieu, I'll be putting together a small post featuring some of my favorite holiday reads and Beverley will be giving away some of HER fave holiday reads! Enjoy!

It's that time of year again! Mad dashes to Bath and Body works & Old Navy for last minute Xmas gifts, lots of studying late into the winter nights for finals, working retail while EVERYONE is last minute shopping as well-- this is what my last few winters have been like. Life can get crazy/overwhelming all year long- but especially when the snow hits the ground and your room starts to resemble the wrapping room at Santa's toy shop!

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to plan a day for myself when I have no school or work and stay in all day, cuddled under covers with comfort foods and one of my all-time favorite holiday reads close at hand. Revisiting these classics help get me in the spirit and maybe they have/or can for you too!

1.) A Wallflower Christmas by Lisa Kleypas

Readers get to catch up with their favorite Wallflowers and meet a new addition who'll be swept away by an unwitting devil-may-care American. As a huge fan of this series, I got SOOO much ungodly glee out of this novel and every winter, this book gets broken out and re-fawned over!

2.) The Holiday Present by Johanna Lindsey

This book features TWO stories- The first (just like my last pick) is in an Epilogue-ish vain, giving fans of the previous books from the series the chance to catch up with some of the characters that found their HEA, while also introducing the reader to a love story that was brought up routinely through out the other books. The second story was one I had the pleasure of enjoying during my first christmas as an offcial romance junkie. My addiction to romance books was out of control and when I strolled through the aisle of my local library, 4 books already tucked under my arm, I spotted a name I was becoming quite fond of. It was an Xmas themed book at that- so I knew I had to read it and after that year the story became a permanent fixture in my holiday reading queue.

3.) And we can't forget Grace Burrowes' Windham series and the two Christmas-titled knock-outs! 
Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish and Lady Louisa's Christmas Knight.

I've had a lot of fun remembering the stories that embody Christmas to me! So how about you guys? Tell me which books scream HOLIDAY to you and you can't help but revisit this time of year!
