Merry Christmas, my wonderful friends! I hope you have an amazing day with your loved ones! I hope today is filled with yummy food, music, giving, receiving, relaxing, laughing, and love. I hope you got everything you wished for! I will be spending my day with my family, opening presents and making memories.

Thank you so much for celebrating this amazing season with me on the blog this month! Thank you to the publishers who provided Christmas books and giveaways. Thank you to my guest posters who talked all about Christmas in their countries! Thanks for all your comments, recommendations, and discussions. It has been so much fun! I hope you have a very merry bookish little Christmas. :) Things will be a bit sparse on the blog as I recover from this crazy month, but I’ll still be around!

How was your day? What did you get? What did you do? Tell me, tell me!

If you live in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy eating and celebrating with your loved ones. I’m so thankful for all of you, for where I am in my life, and for this amazing holiday!

How are you celebrating?

Happy Halloween to my beloved reading friends! I hope you have so much fun celebrating in whatever way you choose to do. Me? I’m going to eat candy, catch up on my DVR shows, and read Another Little Piece. I hear it’s super creepy! That’s about as much as I can do to celebrate. I’m a bit of a chicken.

Oh, just so you know… today is the last day to enter my Spooktacular giveaway for a book of choice ($12 USD and under)! It ends at midnight, and you know you want to win! The link is in my sidebar.

So, what are you planning to do to celebrate? Reading any scary books? What’s your favorite Halloween candy?

If you live in the USA, happy birthday! I hope you’re spending your day reading, eating strawberries, watching fireworks, and enjoying time with your family! I’ll be back soon with more bookish shenanigans!
