*You must be able to justify how your book fits the theme. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy.

Hello hello everyone!

Checking in

[Diana S]

Hi Everyone, just checking in and ready to go

[Melindam]

Hello Snowgirls, checking in.:)

[Namita , Ms. Ink and Insights]

Hi 👋🏼

[Kari]

Hello, checking in!

[Elinaly]

hello-hello snowmen! checking in :)

So first week seems the easiest.
I just picked out the book I´m going to listen and the number of default pages (since I´m listening audio) of this book is just painful... its 496 pages!!!

So I feel the need to apologize for that in advance, lol

[Alaina]

I honestly have no idea what I'm going to read just yet lol.

[Kaley]

Hi team!!!

[Shaw]

Hi everyone! Checking in

[Alaina]

Hey everyone!!

Super sorry for being so quiet for the last couple of days. Got my booster and the flu shot in one go and they knocked me on my ass. I was so sick with fever, chills, and throwing up. The perfect trifecta to my weekend lol.

I did read a lot though... when I wasn't sleeping or anything. So, let me get some tea or coffee and then I'll start updating. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

[Melindam]

Alaina, glad you are feeling better. I recently got my 3rd booster and it knocked me out for 2 days.

Yeah, it was not fun. I got the shots Thursday, and I was fine like all day. Then at 2am Friday, everything went from bad to really freaking bad pretty quickly.

[Melindam]

I did not dare take the 2 shots at the same time, had my flu vac 3 weeks earlier.

Yeah, that wasn't originally the plan lol, but I scheduled my shots with the same place, and they were like - why not get both today? So, yeah, don't recommend.

[Namita , Ms. Ink and Insights]

@Alaina, you are kicking Reindeer behind!! Way to go!!

[Alaina]

Namita wrote: "@Alaina, you are kicking Reindeer behind!! Way to go!!"

Ah! Thanks! Okay, I think everything has been added (so far).

[Diana S]

I recently read We Wish You a Murderous Christmas and it has gingerbread and bells in the text, if anyone needs a recommendation. :D

[Reed]

Hey guys how are you?

[Melindam]

Hi Reed. I am fine despite some trips to the dentist. :)

[Namita , Ms. Ink and Insights]

Last day for Trees!! I think I can get another book in.

[Alaina]

Sorry was so busy with work and other MOD stuff on GR. Let me see if my last-minute books will work or now.

[Alaina]

Okay, found one I accidentally missed and added the ones I read yesterday. Sadly, I haven't had time to read anything today. Trees was super easy so I'm hoping we all have good luck with gingerbread!

[Melindam]

Nice! :)

[Alaina]

Woohoo!

[Namita , Ms. Ink and Insights]

Finished a book and it has ginger and bread in it but separately ....LOL

It wouldn't count for us.

[Alaina]

Aw man! I had a book with cookies on the cover, but they looked more like sugar cookies than gingerbread :(

There were tonnes of cookies and the title had mistletoe...gah!!!

oh no!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Team,

I am sorry to inform you that Reed will no longer be playing. She hasn't submitted any books to this point. You guys seem to be holding your own so I will leave things as is.

[Melindam]

Thanks, Donna.

[Lexi]

I found gingerbread in my giant book -Plain Bad Heroines, so I will have one after all this week. I have been working a lot so less reading than I planned so far this month.

[Namita , Ms. Ink and Insights]

I have a couple of books that I will add for bells. I will be done reading them tonight.

[Melindam]

I will finish another one tonight.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Gingerbread Week

Snowmen: 184
Reindeer:128

[Alaina]

Woohoo!

[Melindam]

Great job, Snowmen!

Today is the last day of school in Hungary, so my son will be home from now on, limiting my reading time considerably. :)

[Elinaly]

wow! pretty nice lead! seems like I landed in the right team, lol
(I myself am able to read one book a week... sigh, well better than nothing, right)

[Melindam]

Just realised that while I posted the right page count, it was the wrong book. Tomorrow I will edit my earlier post of today, am on the app right now.

Please post in the Author's corner section. Add the link to the book.

I am deleting your message on this thread.

Sorry about the disruption, team.

Thanks, Donna!

Hey team!

Just wanted to update that I've been reading today, but I'm not sure if I read Bell(s) or listened to that word at the moment. So, I will definitely look tomorrow and add them to our check in. Turning 30 today!

I hope you are all enjoying your books and the holidays!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

[Alaina]

Hey team! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! If not, then I hope the upcoming one is much better. I totally dropped the ball and forgot to do posts for bells before the deadline. Super sorry!! I will check to see if any the books I read over the weekend work for Mistletoe.

[Lexi]

I am using MPG Romance for mistletoe since kissing

[Alaina]

That's a good idea! Maybe even kissing in text?
