The Sunday Post AKA What’s on my (Mostly Virtual) Nightstand 4-2-17

Posted on April 2, 2017August 13, 2017 by Marlene Harris | Author : Marlene Harris | The Sunday Post> Virtual Nightstand> Winner announcement

Welcome to the Blogo-Birthday week edition of the Sunday Post. Tuesday, April 4 is the 6th anniversary of the founding of Reading Reality, which was originally titled “Escape Reality, Read Fiction”. Over the past 6 years, I’ve escaped a lot of reality, along with reading a bit of reality and occasionally writing other stuff. And on April 5, I’ll be celebrating (or possibly commiserating), my own 60th birthday. Where does the time go?

Due to the joint celebrations, I’m participating in several blog hops and giveaways this week. Come on over and share the fun!

Coming Next Week:

I don’t think I’d realized just how much I missed listening to audiobooks until I started up again. I love having someone read me a story! I don’t have a very long commute, but they are also excellent for making the tedious parts of my workout fly by, even if I’m merely plodding along.

April Book of Choice Giveaway Hop

Posted on April 1, 2017March 31, 2017 by Marlene Harris | Author : Marlene Harris | Blog Hops> Book of Choice Giveaway Hop> Giveaways

Happy April Fools’ Day! I promise this is not an April Fools’ joke.

Welcome to the April Book of Choice Giveaway Hop, hosted by FLYLēF.

The rules for this Giveaway Hop are wonderfully simple. Once a month, participants in the hop give away either a book of the winner’s choice to, of course, the winner, or the means to buy same. Meaning a gift card.

I always like giving away books and gift cards. And this coming week is my Blogo-Birthday, and I especially like giving away presents at celebrations, sort of like a hobbit birthday. This is my 6th Blogo-Birthday. On April 4, Reading Reality will be 6 years old! And on my birthday, April 5, I’ll be quite a few years older than that. I’ll be giving lots of stuff away this week.

But for this hop, it’s all about the books that you are looking forward to this month. What are you absolutely itching to read this month? For me it’s a tie between Song of the Lion by Anne Hillerman and Cold Welcome by Elizabeth Moon. Both are the latest entries in series that I thought were finished, but am oh-so-glad to see continuing. What about you?
