Sharing Beyond Books #436 Comment Giveaway December 11, 2021

Hello again, Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books.
Merry & Bright - Season's Greeting Card | Birthday & Greeting Cards by Davia

NOTE THAT due to December and New Year holidays I am only doing one SBB on 12/11 with the answer due by January 8, 2022! Enjoy your Holidays!

Thanks to everyone who commented on the last question.
Last post SBB#435 Faith Hope and Cherry Tea asks: How many readers have books on their Christmas wish list? Specific titles or general categories??
Eight commenters said "yes" they have books on their lists. Two of these had specific books, one had a genre named. Five commenters do not put books on their lists. Five people prefer Gift Cards so they can buy their own books. Night1836 has a good idea: she asks friends to buy her one of their favorite books.

For US participants: I need to update and refill the books available to US winners. I have used "Love" and "Christmas" titles as well as ARC titles. Since the supply is lower, I have author collections I could choose from, mostly romance - historical, suspense and some contemporary. What genres/books/authors would you like me to include?

The Winner from SBB#435 comments is #3 NIGHT1836 who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post. -- [9-18-2021 I have added a new box and crossed off books no longer available through August 2021.]

Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.
WEEK #436
(One Question.)
Becky asks: State 5 random facts about yourself.
  1.  My birthday is two days after Christmas.
  2.  I played the flute when I was a teenager (and a little guitar in college).
  3.  Hubby and I just celebrated our 36th anniversary -my only marriage.
  4. I like puzzles - word, jigsaw, hidden objects, etc.
  5. I had a cat, Gandalf, from age 18 to age 36. He was a beautiful Russian Blue and weighed 18 pounds. I am glad I have pictures and a portrait because he was a special cat and friend for me.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month, I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify them. .
