Ho Ho Ho Read-A-Thon Word Scramble Challenge

Welcome! Come in, come in. Make yourself at home. Have a drink, get cozy on the couch, push the cat out of your way.

I am excited to start the Ho Ho Ho read-a-thon. I have an ambitious list of books to read and I really want to get through them all. But all that reading can get tiring and a change of pace is needed. So I have a word scramble for you today. Below, I've taken the titles of nine Christmas romances and scrambled them up. Now, Christmas is about being nice, but I have an evil streak so I have removed all capitalization, punctuation, and spacing. Thus, Ho Ho Ho Read-a-Thon becomes hohohoreadathon. Except that for the challenge I moved the letters around. You have to figure out the titles. For each title you unlock, go to the corresponding rafflecopter entry and enter your guess. The prize for your efforts? A Kindle book of your choice from Amazon, up to $10US. Good luck and have fun!

The Titles: 

1. rmsnaycisialwaofolstituhr
2. mldayrenhoiha
3. ejilmnrsttgcleihliatas
4. ntaehytgnsiotlhu
5. erwiathtasmlsaichs
6. tchrssismyebaaimth
7. rhatsesmetracfohtih
8. teossteahins
9. memaitglctieos

Because I'm not totally evil *shifts eyes* and I don't want coal in my stocking, here are some hints:

• Most of the titles were released this fall while a few came out in the past 3 years.
• 5 of the titles contain the word 'Christmas'
• They are all romances.
• 3 of the books have 3 word titles, 4 of the books have 4 word titles, 1 has 2 words in the title, and 1 has 7 seven words in the title.

ETA: Additional Clues - as promised, here's some extra help. When I looked at the rafflecopter entries, there were several titles with no answers or that had only one.

#2 The title has 3 words and can be found on my reading list (see link earlier in post. What? I can't make it too easy.) 
#3 has a 4 word title and is on my reading list. 
#4 has a 4 word title, is an anthology, and on my reading list.
#5 has a 4 word title, one word is all caps, and is also on my reading list.

Apparently, the 4 word titles are really messing with people. Surprisingly, the 7 word title has been answered by many people. But then, it's no secret that that author is one of my favorites. :) Oh look, another clue! :D
