Re: 'Tis the Season Questions
I have a question about the books. Can it be any books or do they need to be about certain themes, e.g. Christmas or food/spices?

The books just need to involve food and/or herbs and spices in some notable way, rather than being 'about' them. Ideally it should play an important part at some point (either to the plot or the characters) but that could take a number of forms. A book with a crucial plot point/scene happening over a meal or meals would count, whereas a book that has a passing remark about a character eating a sandwich that didn't have any impact on the plot wouldn't. So, the Harry Potter books would qualify because of how important the feasts are, the Lord of the Rings would count because food is important to Hobbits, etc. Providing you can point to a significant element of the book that involves food or herbs/spices, it would count.
