The holiday season is upon us! At Bookreporter.com, this means it's time for us to share the spirit of the season with you with our Holiday Basket of Cheer Contest. While you are searching for the perfect gifts, we want to remind you that books make affordable, personal and wonderful gifts for EVERYONE on your list --- and are a nice way to treat yourself as well!

From November 13th through January 7th we will spotlight a different title or collection of titles, and readers will have the chance to win one of five holiday baskets filled with winter-themed items as well as a copy of the featured book(s).

For the final contest of our Holiday Basket of Cheer feature, we bring you our special End-of-the-Year Celebration. We’re giving away all 12 of our “Bookreporter.com Bets On” titles, Carol Fitzgerald’s very favorite books from 2009. They include 31 HOURS by Masha Hamilton; CRAZY FOR THE STORM: A Memoir of Survival, by Norman Ollestad; THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett; HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET by Jamie Ford; HOW SHALL I TELL THE DOG?: And Other Final Musings, by Miles Kington; THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Into War-Torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders, by Emmanuel Guibert, Didier Lefèvre and Frederic Lemercier; RAINWATER by Sandra Brown; A RELIABLE WIFE by Robert Goolrick; ROOFTOPS OF TEHRAN by Mahbod Seraji; SHELTER ME by Juliette Fay; STILL ALICE by Lisa Genova; and THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE by Heather Gudenkauf. Our Holiday Basket of Cheer is a woven basket stocked with holiday-themed items. Along with copies of each of the titles above, winners will receive Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate mix, gourmet hand-cut vanilla marshmallows, Peppermint bark candy, a decorative holiday spatula, a snowman dish towel, cinnamon sticks, and a snowman mini planter perfect for a small tree or single bulb.
