I'll assume the little books are these:
If you want to post images or Links of the books it's really simple.
If you're typing in the comment box above the upper right corner is the options to add book/author if you click this you can search for the book you want. In the search box that pops up at the bottom of that box you can choose title or cover.
Do you mean how to bold things for your post? Right next to the add book/author option is the (some html is ok) This will tell how to bold, underline, strike, and other things. If you can't figure out how to use that I can email you the codes.
Large (and even then, it's hard only picking 6)Holiday: An Enchanted Season by Maggie Shayne, Erin McCarthy, Nalini Singh, and Jean Johnson

I realize it may have been a little ambitious of me to think I could do six books this month. We'll see how that goes. lol
I know what you mean, I don't think I'm going to make the 8 books. I've already read 2 books that aren't PNR or UF.
That's perfectly fine to count them for it!! Mine are just the wrong genre.
Know the felling Christie!! Glad you're liking it so far.

..."I got an e-ARC copy to review. I hear that the author will be holding some contests with the e-ARC as prizes very soon.
It is good because a lot of questions are answered...but Book 2 was my favorite.The one point that sticks with me is when Ana was upset after Christian left with Leila. She came home from the bar across the street with Ethan...that whole scene was intense!
Book 2 has more bookmarked pages for me, so I love Book 2 the best.
Yeah I finished this challenge!Happy holidays to you all!

Being sick has it's benefits. With nothing to do but lie on the couch yesterday I was able to finish

and finish it shortly after midnight. I feel so accomplished. :)

December challenge - Presents challenge
Duration - December
December brings with it the Christmas season, we all love to receive presents on Christmas day so your challenge this month is to put together a list of books you would package up and give someone as an introduction to PNR/UF reading gift.
How to prepare your present.
1. Pick the size of package you would give:
Small - two books
Medium - four books
Large - six books
Extra large - eight books
2. Choose your books. Keep within the guidelines below, remember the present should be PNR/UF focused!
a) Pick at least one PNR and one UF
b) Include more than one author in your box.
c) Have several paranormal creatures in your box, don't just have vampires makes sure there are shifters, faeries, witches, demons etc in there somewhere too!
d) One books which is somehow connected to the holiday season.

The books do not have to be at the start of a series (unless you want!), the idea is a mixed box which would get the reader hooked :)
