    I think to add to the winter theme you should make a page that has fricking awesome hot drinks on it? Nothing beats reading a good book with a Mint Hot Chocolate ;)
    Great giveaway by the way!

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    You could obviously do something winter related, like recommend winter books every week or you could maybe do something food-related. Like, share a winter recipe. All of our eating habits change in the winter. Out with the lemonade, in with the hot chocolate and such.

    Awesome giveaway you guys--I really wanna read This Is Not A Test, so I hope I win! lol

    Though I don't think your blog needs improving (it's super wintry already!), you could add a Warm Books For Winter feature or something, showcasing books that "turn up the heat" for those cold winter nights! ;-)

    I think for your new page you should do book recommendations for certain genres (e.g. If you like paranormal romance, you'll like these books). It would be an easy way for people to find new books to read ;) And to keep it wintry, you could do books that are must-haves for winter (Sorry, I'm not very creative!).

    Maybe a feature about cozy books - you know books you'd like to curl up with before a fireplace in the cold long winter nights ;)

    Penguins would be nice touch, too :) Maybe a penguin before the fireplace reading a cozy book would be great button for the feature lol and cute, too :)

    I think a could feature would have something to do with being icy. For instance, a book with an icy villain or that gives you an icy feeling could be the focus.
