Reading Challenges 2022 December Update

Here is what I read for my reading challenges in December: 

                             

I read A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs. The book could have been about any holiday, but I chose a Christmas story.

I also read A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs for this challenge as it takes place in Scotland. I also started a new book for the November challenge as I did not have time to read In His Steps as planned. I am reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis instead. 

And I also counted A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs for this challenge as well. Christmas in Victorian Era Scotland. 

A Wreath of Snow by Liz Curtis Higgs also counted for this challenge as it is a novella. 

Plus someone in my Avid Readers of Christian Fiction group came up with this challenge:
