So, anyone want to have a personal Christmas Reading Challenge? List the books you are challenging yourself to read in November and December and maybe January that are Christmas themed books.

Who knows, we might find some books from other list that we want to add to ours later...

Here's my list:
1. The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall
2. An Amish Christmas by Cynthia Keller
3. Promise Me by Richard Paul Evans
4. Naomi's Gift: an Amish Christmas Story byAmy Clipston
5. A Lancaster County Christmas by Suzanne Woods Fisher

6.And if I get this one ordered: Christmas Mail-Order Brides: Four Mail-Order Brides Travel the Transcontinental Railroad in Search of Love
7.
A Log Cabin Christmas: 9 Nine Romances of American Pioneer Christmases

Ooh, good idea! I have the following Christmas books on my TBR and I hope to read them over November - January. I have exams after Christmas but I also have 2 weeks of holiday the exams so I can always read some of the books belatedly in January.

1. An Amish Christmas: December in Lancaster County by Beth Wiseman, Barbara Cameron and Kathleen Fuller (Borrowed from a friend, sadly not the extended edition! I may get the new version some other time).
2. An Amish Christmas by Patricia Davids (Love Inspired story, looks very cute!)
3. Naomi's Gift: an Amish Christmas Story by Amy Clipston (NetGalley ebook)
4. The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall (To review for Waterbrook)
5. A Log Cabin Christmas: 9 Nine Romances of American Pioneer Christmases by Various Authors (A NetGalley ebook)
6. The Three Day Rule by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees (This has been on my TBR for years, need to read it!)

I went looking through my Christmas books and I have 19 20 on the list! Wouldn't it be awesome to have nothing else to do but read? I'm going to list them all...

1. A Log Cabin Christmas by Margaret Brownley (NetGalley -- read)
2. Naomi's Gift by Amy Clipston (NetGalley -- read)
3. A Marriage Carol by Chris Fabry (NetGalley)

I liked how Rachel had her notes about the books. I took a closer look at my list, added notes, and I think I'll go with the ones from NetGalley, the loans, and the gift from Cindy -- so that would be #1-6!

Anyone else reading christmas stuff?

Not yet! But I think I'm going to start The Christmas Singing soon. I'm heading home for Reading Week on the 7th so I'll pick up my Christmas books from home then, since I didn't bring them to university with me.

I have a lot of books on my list! From the library I requested:

1. The Sound of Sleigh Bells by Cindy Woodsmall (audio recording because I do long drives and this will be perfect for my 7 1/2 hour (each way) drive home for Thanksgiving (or Christmas))
2. The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall (audio recording because I do long drives and this will be perfect for my 7 1/2 hour (each way) drive home for Thanksgiving (or Christmas))
3. Christmas in Sugarcreek: A Christmas Seasons of Sugarcreek Novel by Shelley Shepard Gray

I also plan to read:

4. Christmas Mail-Order Brides: Four Mail-Order Brides Travel the Transcontinental Railroad in Search of Love by Susan Page Davis (ordered from Amazon)
5. Dating Mr. December by Phillipa Ashley (own for Kindle)
6. Unwrapping Christmas by Lori Copeland (own for Kindle)
7. All I Want for Christmas is You by Lisa Mondello (own for Kindle, LENDABLE!!!!)
8. A Home For Christmas by Deborah Grace Staley (own for Kindle)
9. Snowflake Bride by Jillian Hart (author is sending me a copy!)

And my wish list is:

10. Christmas in Lucky Harbor: Simply Irresistible/The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis
11. The Christmas Cookie Killer by Livia J. Washburn
12. White Christmas Pie by Wanda E. Brunstetter
13. Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul (requested library buy a copy, may or may not happen)

Of course there are MANY MORE I want to read, but I am on a tight budget so I will probably stick with what I already own, and what I can get from the library. But still, plenty of books to keep me busy!

reading Finding Father Christmas by robin Jones Gunn so started my Christmas books alittle early

Finished The Christmas Singing really liked it. I stayed up last night with my Kindle light, since I checked this one out at the library, to finish it. Finished it in about 3 hours. Really quick read and a cute story.

I've just finished reading Naomi's Gift: an Amish Christmas Story by Amy Clipston and rather enjoyed it, a very cute little story. Now on to our group read, The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall.

I've read one from my list -- A Lancaster County Christmas by Suzanne Woods Fisher!

Only about 19 to go.

One of my friends from church just passed on a big bag of Christmas books to me and my mum. I'm not sure if I'm going to read all of them but some of them look really good:

I read A Carol for Christmas Rachel it was a sweet story but I found out it was part of a series. This is the first one and I ended up reading the whole series. These are the only books I read from this author.

Rachel,
Wow! What a gift,I would be in my glory!
Enjoy!
God bless,
Helen(grammea)

How awesome Rachel!

Well I added A Log Cabin Christmas: 9 Nine Romances of American Pioneer Christmases. i've finished it and really loved the stories. I think I really like the short stories! I read this on from Net Galley, but I saw the book at Wlamart and I really like how the pages look old fashion in how they are cut, it really goes along with the whole rugged Log Cabin Christmas theme!

Hi all! Ok, here's my christmas book list.
A Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall
A Plain and Fancy Christmas by Cynthia Kellar
Naomi's Gift by Amy Clipston
Lancaster County Christmas by Suzanne Woods Fisher
Christmas in Sugarcreek by Shelley Shepard Gray
A Prairie Christmas Collection- several authors
The Red Gloves Collection by Karen Kingsbury
The Christmas List by Pete Nelson
The Memory Quilt by T.D. Jakes
Christmas Homecoming Colorado- several authors
Sheperds Abiding by Jan Karon
The Christmas Sweater by Glen Beck
Christmas at Harrington's by Melody Carlson
A Home for Christmas by Deborah Grace Staley
A Wee Christmas Homicide by Kaitlyn Dunnett
All I want for Christmas is you by Lisa Mondello
One Imperfect Christmas by Myra Johnson
Gotta love the freebies I got for my kindle!
There are still a few more that I'd like to get, but if I don't get busy reading these, I'll never get any of them read this holiday season! It's amazing how I say that yet I always buy more. We have a Half Price Bookstore near us, and it's a great place to pick up christian fiction and christmas fiction books. However I know I'll never get all of them read, so I'm going to be picky and choosy- probably end up reading the Amish fiction based first. They're definitely my favorite!
Blessings everyone,
Sue
