'Tis the Season...

Kicking off today on Bookreporter.com is the festive feature Author Holiday Blogs: Stories About Giving & Receiving. More than 50 authors will be sharing stories of gift giving and getting, books that have enhanced their lives and holiday traditions they love. First up is Beverly Barton, who describes two very treasured copies of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

Stop by daily between now and December 25th if you need a dose of holiday cheer or a respite from the hectic pace of the season. We hope you end up discovering an author's work you want to read --- and some ideas for your gifts lists.
