Welcome to the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

For this hop a couple of years ago, we were just back from a conference and we both had the plague – otherwise known as COVID. This time around, we’re on our way home today and don’t know whether the usual “con crud” will turn out to be COVID or not. We’ll certainly find out in the days ahead.

Speaking of those days ahead, one of the days ahead this week is the July 4th holiday. The humans will probably set off fireworks all weekend, and the animals will mostly be pissed off and quite possibly piss on something their owners wish they hadn’t. C’est la vie.

While we’re not particularly looking forward to the random booms half the night we certainly are looking forward to the holiday – even if that means more time reading while staying inside where it’s air conditioned.

What about you? What are you most looking forward to this Independence Day and the hot days of July and August to follow?

Welcome to the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

As much as I love fireworks on the Fourth of July, it is not very sparkly here at chez Reading Reality at the moment. We came home from our conference on Monday and now we both have the plague – otherwise known as COVID-19. It’s our first time actually catching the thing after being immunized and boosted, but it’s starting to look a lot like the ALA Annual Conference this year just might have been a superspreader event in spite of the cautions that were taken. It’s kind of c’est la vie as long as we both remain vie.

But this bloghop is designed to spread a bit of socially distanced light and even cheer, as all of the participants are giving away something that will hopefully make someone’s holiday a bit brighter. Here at Reading Reality, it’s the usual bloghop prize, the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books. This giveaway is open to all!

Welcome to the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

Those are fireworks on that graphic, because the “sparkle” in Sparkle Time, at least for those of us in the U.S., are the Fourth of July fireworks that will probably start entirely too early and not end until people run out. And for the first time since 2019, there will be celebrations and gatherings in many cities, towns and villages, complete with more, let’s call them professional grade fireworks extravaganzas.

Even our little subdivision plans on an in-person celebration, complete with fireworks, on the day. Which is a Sunday this year, so a lot of people get Monday off as the holiday. There’s no decent way to MAKE Independence Day a Monday holiday, but every once in a while we get a three-day weekend anyway. Making this year’s celebration even more extra-special.

But, for those of us who have pets, the fireworks can get to be a bit much because they frighten the furry companions who share our homes. We’re lucky that this particular clowder doesn’t get fazed by much of anything in regards to storms or fireworks, but that hasn’t always been the case, and isn’t the case for everyone. So please have a care for your neighbors’ furry companions as you light up the night.

I’m giving away the usual Reading Reality prize in this hop, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books. Perhaps a chance to get noise-cancelling headphones for next year’s nights of booms and bangs?
