(Click on button image to see Official sign up post)
Make a Holiday Sentence from Titles Mini Challenge

Mission: During the HOHOHO Readathon, pick six titles you have read in 2017 or are reading and make a holiday or winter themed sentence from them. The sentence can be a real sentiment or rather crazy (like mine). Use at least one book you are reading during the Readathon among the titles. If you take a picture or image with your six books and email it to me I will make up a collage for others to enjoy the fun.

Rules: Only HoHoHo Readathon participants are eligible to enter.
Use at least one book title that you are reading during the Readathon among the titles.

For example: I am hoping to read these titles during HoHoHo Readathon:
1. The Snow Owl by Jon Hartling
2. Hey, Santa: SciFi Alien Holiday Romance (An Alien for the Holidays) by Jessica E. Subject
3. Chasing Christmas Past: An Airship Racing Chronicles Short Story Prequel (The Airship Racing Chronicles) by Melanie Karsak
4. A Ninja Dinosaur Christmas!!!: Super Awesome Edition by Sonya Saturday
5. Christmas, Corpses, and Clockwork Kittens by L. A. Nisula
6. Always Gray In Winter by Mark J. Engels

Here is my sentence:

Alien Ninja Kittens Chasing a Snow Owl in Winter and Racing Christmas Santa.

The Snow Owl by [Hartling, Jon]Hey, Santa: SciFi Alien Holiday Romance (An Alien for the Holidays) by [Subject, Jessica E.]Chasing Christmas Past: An Airship Racing Chronicles Short Story Prequel (The Airship Racing Chronicles) by [Karsak, Melanie]A Ninja Dinosaur Christmas!!!: Super Awesome Edition by [Saturday, Sonya]Christmas, Corpses, and Clockwork Kittens by [Nisula, L.

    First of all I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your mind prior to writing. I've had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!

    Sorry I need to make a correction to my entry. I didn't go back and read the rules until after I pushed enter. :(

    I changed my books from six to five which changed my sentence.

    Originally I also used Murder Goes Mumming by Alisa Craig

    Here are my books:

    1. Murder Goes Mumming by Alisa Craig
    2. Christmas on Ladybug Farm by Donna Ball
    3. Running Out of Space by S. J. Higbee
    4. Arabella and the Battle of Venus by David D. Levine
    5. As the Crow Flies by Damien Boyd
    6. Cold as Ice by Julie Mulhern

    Sentence: Arabella goes out on the ice as the cold Christmas crow flies.

    Thanks! Next time I'll double check the rules!

    I LOVE this idea!!! I had to break out the Word document and Goodreads to make this work but here are my books. Top 3 are my (total) read-a-thon books:
    Holiday Wishes
    Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe
    An Ex for Christmas
    Accidentally on Purpose
    Kissing Max Holden
    One Snowy Night

    My sentence: One Snowy Night, Max wishes for Christmas mistletoe for kissing Holden… accidentally on purpose.

    I really don't think my sentence stands up to any of the other girls b/c I think I totally cheated by just tossing in 2 extra Jill Shalvis books to get to my 6 book quota ;) Thank you soooo much for the challenge!!!!!!!!!!
