How to Add a Holiday Tradition to Your Book Club PLUS GIVEAWAY!

If you love books as much as I do, you probably want to share that love with others. I'm not lucky enough to belong to a book club, but I decided to start a new tradition with my daughters-in-law that could just as easily be tweaked for your holiday book club meeting.

I'm really fortunate both DILs love to read and trading book titles over the years has been amazing. This year, though, I decided to pick two of my favorite books from this year and put them under the tree for Stephanie and Laurian. I'm really excited to see what they think about what I'd like to make a new holiday tradition.

If you're in a book club, why not do something similar? Draw names, choose a book you love that you didn't read this year in book club, write a little note about why you loved it, and gift it! Everyone gets to go home with a new book and since they're your book club buddies, chances are you have a feel for what they might like out of the many favorites you love.

If you're worried about giving a book the person has already read, don't. Honestly, if someone gifted me a book they loved and I'd already read it, I'd read it again, keeping in mind why the person liked it. I've had some amazing reads after giving a book I previously didn't care for second chance due to the enthusiastic encouragement of a fellow reader. (Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, I'm looking at you!)

Besides, rereading has become a more common thing for me in the past ten years or so and to me it's like visiting an old friend. I always find something new in it. So bring on the recommendations!

I'm going to give away one of my favorite books that I read this year. It may be a current book, it may be some years old, but I read it this year and it affected me. You will get a brand new book.

You get an entry to the giveaway by:

1) Commenting below and telling me your favorite book/series, 

and

2) Not required, but you get an extra chance by posting this on Instagram and/or Facebook. Let me know you did that with the links in your comment.

And that's it! You have three chances to win! The giveaway closes Saturday the 17th of December, and I will announce the winner on the 18th.
