Books, books, and more books!

I wanted to take a moment and share an idea that that I have been thinking about!

So last year there was a huge craze about a 25 days of books as a way to count down for Christmas. This year, I will be doing this with my kids. I will have each of my 5 kids pick their 5 favorite books. I am going to wrap them up, without a mark to show whose book it is, and we will open one each night from December 1st through the 25th. I think it will turn out to be a bonding moment as well as a fun surprise!

I am also doing another book giveaway. I am going to do a $50 giveaway in hopes that will encourage someone to start a 25 days of reading tradition in their own home. There are some awesome specials this month:

For those of you who do shopping on Black Friday but like to do so from the comfort of your own home:
