This is just a reminder post about my 2010 Reading Challenge for the year. If you would like to join just click on the picture to be taken to the sign up page! A great new challenge to introduce you to a great author and series!!!
Hard to believe that I only started my blog back in August of this year after looking at my final review list recap. I can’t believe that I have read and reviewed 113 books since then. That averages to about 22 books a month. Not too shabby considering with the holidays, sickness, and birthdays also arrived at the same time to slow me down.
I have signed up for the 100+ Reading Challenge, but I know that this year I will pass up the 100 mark. I am so excited to be sharing my reviews with you. I know I don’t go into to much detail with my reviews. I generally just post the synopsis, and give you just my thoughts and feelings of the book I review. I figure that you don’t want spoilers, and just want to know how a book makes you feel when you read it. If you want more details, that is what the synopsis is for right??
There are also going to be changes coming to my blog this year. Not only will Spread The Love Sunday continue, but I have had good remarks about WTF?! Friday and will continue to feature that as well. I will be hosting alot more contests this year. Be on the lookout for a weekly giveaway. I want to thank each and everyone of you for making this blog successful and I hope to continue to make all of you happy!
So without further rambling from me, here is my 2009 Review Recap with ratings:

THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
Author: Raeanne Thayne
- Mass Market Paperback: 224 pages
- Publisher: Silhouette; Special edition (November 1, 2008)

SYNOPSIS:
Christmas was tough for widow Jenna Wheeler and her four children. But even though she’d sold part of her family’s land to make ends meet, she was determined to spin the holiday into the stuff of magic—no matter what it took. Now if she could only find a job….
Maybe her new landlord could oblige—gorgeous, child-averse Carson McRaven. He needed a chef, and he knew the lovely Jenna could do a bang-up job—if only she could keep her brood out of his hair. But as he found himself catapulted into the cheerful chaos of her family…not to mention Jenna’s arms… he learned more about the spirit of Christmas than he’d ever dreamed.

I received these books as a gift from Harlequin. I was not asked to review this book, and I was not paid in any way.
Sorry all. I have a few review posts for you, but it seems Santa left me a special gift of a bad head cold in my stocking. I will be back soon with some book reviews.
What books has everyone been buying with their Christmas money? What books were under your tree? Feel free to share with me!
See that new blog header up there on top?? Isn’t it amazing??!!
Thank you so much Cecile from All I Want And More for doing such a fantastic job of it! She knew exactly what I had pictured in my mind! Now if I can just convince her to get me that book shelf image in the background of it with those colors to make a background for my blog..*cough, hint* I will be all set to go!
She is so awesome and if you haven’t checked out her blog before, go stop by and see it! She has the greatest blog!
