Share the Love Giveaway Hop

share the love hop

Welcome to the second(?) annual(hopefully) Share the Love Giveaway Hop, hosted (and conceived by) Herding Cats & Burning Soup. We’re Sharing the Love this week and surprise bombing bloggers and authors we adore with a little love! Hop by all of the blogs for chances to win great prizes at each stop and find out which authors and bloggers we think are so darn special!

In honor of the upcoming Valentine’s Day (card & flower & chocolate fest) holiday, we are all sharing our love of some of our favorite book blogs, in the hopes that readers will find more books (and book bloggers) to love.

Since I’ve been catching up on my science fiction romance reading this month, and absolutely loving it, I’m going to share some of my favorite SFR blogs with you.

GalaxyExpressLogoSmaller1. The Galaxy Express: Heather Massey is the captain of this fantastic jaunt into the space lanes. She publishes any and all SFR news, as well as cover reviews, interviews with SFR authors and SFR giveaways. Her analysis of SFR and how it gets promoted is always fascinating, and her list of new SFR releases adds much too much to my TBR pile.

SFR station button2. The SFR Station is a new face on the SFR barroom floor, but it has something that will make readers stand up and cheer. If your love isn’t just for SFR, but for a particular stripe of the genre, SFR Station categories their reviews and features by series, author and most interesting, pairing type and sub-genre. So if you only want cyberpunk, or only want abduction, this is the place to find exactly what you’re looking for.

SFRQ website button3. Sci-Fi Romance Quarterly is more than a blog. The SFRQ is a quarterly online magazine of SFR reviews, features and original content. (Full disclosure, I am one of the reviewers). If you are interested in exploring the full range of what SFR has to offer, the Sci-Fi Romance Quarterly is a great place to start.

sgscifilogo_rev4. Smart Girls Love SciFi because, well, smart girls do! (They also love a bit of paranormal romance!) In addition to terrific reviews of both SFR and Paranormal Rom, the Smart Girls also get into general geekery about TV and movies, everything from The Jetsons (where’s my flying car?) to Guardians of the Galaxy.

BookPushersLogofinal300x2205. The Book Pushers: Last but not least. We do great reviews, especially our joint and group reviews, which are generally awesome. We push books. (And full disclosure, I’m also one of those book pushers)

It’s warmed up a bit in Seattle, but on Wednesday no one cared about the temperature. 700,000 people lined the streets downtown for the Seahawks’ welcome home parade. The library faces the parade route, so we had a marvelous (and warm) view of the whole thing. What a blast!

Between the Share the Love Giveaway Hop and the Fire and Ice Blog Hop there are two chances to win a $10 Amazon or B&N gift card. Both hops are open until February 15.

Seattle Seahawks logoBut not today. The Super Bowl is this afternoon, and the Seattle Seahawks made it! The NFC Championship game two weeks ago was kind of an ugly win, but it was still a win. I think most of Seattle is going to be watching the game this afternoon.

So. This hop is a little different. But in a really neat way. Thanks to Herding Cats & Burning Soup for coming up with the idea and hosting the hop.

Yes, there will be a giveaway. But before we get to that, let me explain how this one works.

It’s Share the Love, right? So the love that’s being shared is the love of book blogs. Each participating blog is going to direct your attention to several other blogs that they love. It’s a love bomb!

I’m featuring some of my favorites. I hope you’ll check them out and follow (and it helps you get points in my giveaway).

1. The Caffeinated Book Reviewer: Kimba hosts The Sunday Post. Every Sunday, a place to link up what’s happening on a whole bunch of blogs. An awesome idea! Kimba also does terrific book reviews.

2. Mixed Book Bag: Jo does excellent book reviews, and she’s also one of my co-conspirators at the Sci-Fi Romance Quarterly.

3. Boeklogboek: Not just great reviews by Aurian, but she’s also a faithful commenter on blogs that she follows.

4. Yummy Men & Kick Ass Chicks: Reviews and silly stuff to make you laugh.

5. The Book Pushers: We do great reviews. We push books. (Full disclosure, I’m also one of those book pushers)

As you read this, I am in Philadelphia, trying not to freeze. The American Library Association Midwinter Conference is in Philly. Why, oh why couldn’t they have picked someplace warm this year?

Oh, that’s right, they saved the hot spot for the SUMMER conference. The June conference this year is in Las Vegas! (Yes, I know, it’s a DRY heat)
