Agreed! This whole year actually!

I don't think I've ever joined this one, it's definitely been a while since I've joined any challenges. I totally flopped on last month's Frightfall so I'm looking forward to see where I can go with this one.

Impressive! I love The Christmas List.
No Christmas reading for me yet. I have Barbara Briggs Ward's new one so that will be first on my list.

Awesome! I'm reading it right now.

Oooh I totally forgot I have a ton of Richard Paul Evans books that I've collected over the years from yard sales and library sales. They're nice and short and I can clear some physical books as well!

Took a mini vacation this weekend and still recovering. lol. I listened to a couple more short holiday audiobooks. Not sure what's up next honestly. Maybe . I really want to read during the readathon but it's a bit longer than I'm looking for, I think. BUT! I will have free time the first week of January so maybe I'll save it for the end of the 'thon. Im sure I'll be listening to more short holiday audiobooks.
