Christmas in July Wrap-Up & Giveaway Winners

Round-up

In case you've somehow missed it, July was a pretty manic month on my blog. I posted ninety times, seventy of them Christmas in July related posts and I've now reached that feeling of satisfaction and relief you get once you've finally finished your Christmas shopping and all the presents are wrapped and ready to go (normally on Christmas Eve for me...).

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the authors, bloggers and readers who took part in my festive Q&As. The response to this idea of mine was way bigger than I thought it would be and I ended up posting 66 interviews which I loved reading and sharing with all of you. I also managed to reduce my festive review copy pile massively by reviewing 23 Christmassy books, mostly ones I loved. All the posts are listed below in case there's any you'd like to check out and if you entered any of the giveaways (thanks again to Suze and Ann Troup for donating prizes), then check the bottom of this post to see if you struck lucky.

Christmas in July has been loads of fun but never again (until next year...)! I'm now planning on diving into my summer paperback piles and I can't wait to share lots more reviews with you this August! xo
