Christmas in July Read-a-Thon

I've been participating in COYER this summer and have been enjoying it despite being way behind on submitting my reviews.  This weekend I'm going to attempt the Christmas in July read-a-thon!  I have several books that take place during Christmas that I've just been itching to read and this just may be the perfect excuse!

Here's my goals:

Nora Bonesteel's Christmas Past by Sharyn McCrumb - I won't actually publish the review until October but I can still read it now!

Sleigh Bells in the Snow by Sarah Morgan - I have the 2nd but haven't read this one yet.

A Kiss for Midwinter by Courtney Milan - because it's getting ridiculous that I haven't read any of her books yet.

Extra Credit:

A Christmas Wedding Quilt by Emilie Richards et al - I love Emilie Richards and I've had this book sitting around for far too long.

The Long Way Home by Mariah Stewart - I'm not sure this is actually set around Christmas but there's snow on the cover and I really want to read it!

    Woot! You've got some good ones up there :) I won't be posting my reviews from this weekend until October or so either, just because my review calendar is full and might as well save these for the holiday season. Oh and I had to laugh because I'm right there with you on Courtney Milan - I own a couple of her books but haven't read her. Good luck!

      Glad I'm not the only one! Everyone raves about her. I literally own 4 books and yet I've yet to read one!

      I thought of you when I put it on the list! I want to read #2 in the series this week but you told me I needed to read #1 first!

      I didn't do as well as I would've liked. Mostly because I kept having to go do other things and partly because my Kindle betrayed me and ran out of power! All were good though!

      That's the one drawback to e-readers. Although you can, if you've got a wall-to-mini-USB charger, plug it in to the wall and keep reading.
