 What better way to get in the holiday mood than read My True Love Gave To Me? This holiday anthology has something for everyone with adorable New Year's kisses, a Hannukah catastrophe and lots of Christmas cheer. Overall this novel was just so much fun and this is a perfect novel to read while bundled up in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa as you wait for the holidays to roll around. MTLGTM is one of the best anthologies I've read to date, but just like all other anthologies this has short stories of varying qualities. The following stories were my favorites from this anthology: 
 -Midnights - Rainbow Rowell - Rowell is one of my all-time favorite authors and she always manages to make me all fluffy inside. Midnights is no different and is an absolutely wonderful short-story about two friends, Noel and Mags. I loved the relationship between these two characters and I could really sense the history between them. I'd love to see more of these two characters in one of Rowell's future novels! 
 -It's A Yuletide Miracle, Charlie Brown by Stephanie Perkins - Of course, Perkins writes such an adorable romance with such subt, yet important details. This story was nearly perfect and is one of my all-time favorites in the anthology. 
 -Your Temporary Santa by David Levithan - YAY, a Hanukkah / Christmas story! This story has a gay Jewish main character and is just all kinds of awesome. This story really has all the humor and passion that's in all of Levithan's full-length novels. 
 -Welcome To Christmas, CA by Kiersten White - I'm not a fan of White's novels, but this one was surprisingly good. The heroine was wonderfully snarky and I became so hungry just reading about the various foods the characters make. 
 -The Girl Who Woke The Dreamer by Laini Taylor - This story was so lyrical and beautiful in such a way that is unique to Taylor's books. Everything about this one was exquisite.
