Books I’m Planning on Reading for the HoHoHoRAT Read-A-Thon
I’m not a fast reader so I will try to read at least these 4 Holiday books! Wish me luck!
Christmas Books I Highly Recommend
Also, if you haven’t read these books yet, now is the time to read them!
The Winter King is not really about Christmas, but I read it this spring and it brought me back to Christmas!
The Winter King | Devil in Winter | ‘Twas the Night After Christmas

Are you ready to read Christmas/Holiday reads? What books are you planning to read? Any good recs?
Hi, to complete a bing I need to read 9 boos/stories, right?
Hi Aly, you just need to read a minimum of 3 to make 1 Bingo. If you read all 9, you get 8 Bingos (horizontal, vertical, diagonal). Thanks for pointing this out, I updated the post to include this
Now I regret not planning for this even more. Bingo is in my blood! If I had known there was going to be bingo, I would have saved all my Christmas books for this week. What fun! Enjoy!

You can still reread them, Sam! 🙂

What great books you have in plan for this challenge. I adored Devil in Winter and Winter King. I read His Christmas Pleasure years ago and liked it quite a bit. But it was years ago, but hope you love it.

I’m a little bothered by His Christmas Pleasure because the hero is a d*ck.. LOL
This is such a fun challenge! I’ll be back once I’ve made a BINGO! 🙂
Good luck, Marie!
I’ll give it a go. 🙂 I’m a bit tech illiterate so my BINGO card back to you might be a mess, but I’ll do my best. Thanks for the fun game for HoHoHoRAT
