Apple a Day Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Apple A Day Giveaway Hop> Blog Hops> Giveaways

Welcome to the 2024 edition of the Apple A Day Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

An “Apple a Day” as this blog hop is called, brings to mind the old proverb that goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. But that’s probably not the right reference because a) (A is for Apple, after all) that isn’t strictly true, although regular servings of fruits and vegetables do help with maintaining a balanced diet – and b) there’s a reference that works even better this month.

The other ‘proverbial’ apple saying is the poem (and meme) about “An apple for the teacher” and that’s the one that’s more apropos this time of year, as schools start in early August. Here in Gwinnett County they start on Monday, August 5. Which seems a bit early, especially around here, as it still feels very much like SUMMER!

Which it may be according to science, but it isn’t really because it’s BACK TO SCHOOL time!

Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

This hop is all about the drinks of summer. You know what I mean, the cold glass with the condensation dripping down the side, just full of the icy, thirst-quenching goodness of whatever means SUMMER! to you.

Living in the South, sweet tea is a LOT of people’s drink of choice. I do love iced tea, but prefer it unsweet. Or at least the doctor prefers that I drink it that way!

If I’m in the mood for something with a bit of a kick, hard cider is still my drink of choice. I never did like beer all that much – and now that cider is more readily available that’s what I’ll pick if it’s an option. Hard seltzer’s not bad either, but I really enjoy the crisp sweet-tartness of a good cider – apple or otherwise.

What about you? What’s your favorite summer libation, sweet or spiked or both or neither? Answer in the rafflecopter for a chance at the usual prize, the winner’s choice a $10 Amazon Gift Card or up to $10 in Books.

Christmas in July Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Christmas in July Giveaway Hop> Giveaways

Welcome to the Christmas in July Giveaway Hop, hosted by Review Wire Media!

There’s a saying about cats, that they want to be in when they’re out, out when they’re in, and vice versa, AND simultaneously. Humans are like that about the weather.

When it’s cold we want it to be hot. When it’s hot we want it to be cool. And sorta/kinda both, which is how Christmas in July came about. The weather is warm, the nostalgia about the holiday is cool – and the Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments for the year arrive around July 25.

Christmas in July is far, far, FAR from a serious event, but ANY excuse to give and receive presents is a good one. So, what sort of tchotchkes would you like to receive in your Xmas in July stocking? Answer in the rafflecopter for your chance at a $10 Amazon Gift Card or a $10 Book to put inside that stocking!

Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop

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?

Summer 2024 Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the SUMMER 2024 Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, hosted by It Starts At Midnight and Versatileer!

Once upon a time, this was the Month of Books Giveaway Hop, now it’s the Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, with the hops starting on the days the seasons change. Today is the first official day of Summer even if it feels more like the height of the season – at least in temperature – where you are right now. The ATL is having a normal summer so far, which means hot and muggy a lot of the time, but the Midwest is getting hammered with the kind of high temps that we don’t even get around here until July.

Whatever the weather, the question this season is the same question it’s always been for one of these particular hops. What book or books are you most looking forward to this season?

I’m never looking forward to just one thing when it comes to books. Here are a few that are at the top of my list for this summer of 2024:

guard the east flank by ml buchman
price of redemption by shawn carpenter
requiem for a mouse by miranda james
dallergut dream department store by miye lee
dead cat tail assassins by p djeli clark
daughters war by christopher buehlman
sky on fire by jenn lyons
mummy of mayfair by jeri westerson
blood jade by julia vee and ken bebellle
vengeful king rises by sophie barnes

Blood Jade by Julia Vee and Ken Bebelle
The Dallergut Dream Department Store by Lee Mi-ye
The Daughters’ War by Christopher Buehlman
The Dead Cat Tail Assassins by P. Djèlí Clark
Guard the East Flank by M.L. Buchman
The Mummy of Mayfair by Jeri Westerson
The Price of Redemption by Shawn Carpenter
Requiem for a Mouse by Miranda James
The Sky on Fire by Jenn Lyons
A Vengeful King Rises by Sophie Barnes

What about you? What books are you most looking forward to this season? Answer in the rafflecopter for your choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books so you can get one or two of the books on your list!

Early Summer Giveaway Event

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Early Summer Giveaway Event> Giveaways

Welcome to the Early Summer Giveaway Event hosted by Versatileer!

This is Reading Reality’s first time participating in one of Versatileer’s Amazon/PayPal Giveaway Events, but they look like a blast! It’s a different kind of giveaway, in that the hosting participants put into the big cash prize and get LOTS of entries in the big rafflecopter for it, while the rest of us get one free link, maybe host our own giveaways as I’m doing, and get in on the fun and the traffic and provide an opportunity for our own followers.

Also, and thank goodness, Versatileer is flexible about hopping on, just as they are for the Season of Books Giveaways that they host, making it easier for us bloggers and giving more opportunities for everyone to get in on the action. (Meaning that this event started over the weekend but I’m posting it here today and glad of it.)

To sweeten the pot a little, first there’s a giveaway here at Reading Reality:

Second, and even more important, come one, come all to the Early Summer Giveaway Event! Be sure to visit the co-hosts and ALL the participants in this hop to get the most chances at the BIG PRIZE!

Moms Rock Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Moms Rock Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Moms Rock Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

I looked back at my post for this hop for the past couple of years and it’s all still true! I really can’t imagine my mom even in the vicinity of that guitar. My mom was a teenager, and in high school, during World War II, so rock and roll wasn’t yet here to stay. She was amazing in a whole lot of ways, but anything that would have involved that ax just wasn’t among those ways.

But I know plenty of moms who would definitely be able to rock that guitar. But even moms that don’t rock absolutely do rule!

Whether or moms are still with us or not, or whether the people who occupy that place in our lives are our moms by birth or adoption or by love alone, they still have mom things that they do that no one else does ‘right’. I still miss my mom’s vegetable beef barley soup, and my grandmother’s chocolate chip cookies. I have the recipes for both, and I’ve even made them a time or two. IT’S JUST NOT THE SAME!

What about you? If you’re a mom, what’s your best ‘mom thing’? Or if you didn’t go that route or haven’t yet, what’s the thing you remember that your mom just did THE best?

Come What May Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Come What May Giveaway Hop> Giveaways

Welcome to the Come What May Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

This particular blog hop could be about absolutely anything, couldn’t it? It’s right there in the name, “Come What May!”

So it could be, “May the 4th Be With You”. It could be Cinco de Mayo. It certainly could be all about Mothers’ Day – although there’s a hop later in the month that’s a bit more defined in that regard.

And it could be my personal favorite, “The Lusty Month of May”, the song from the play (and movie) Camelot.

What do you first think of when May pops into your head? Answer in the rafflecopter for your chance at Reading Reality’s usual hop prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books!

Rain Drops on Roses Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Rain Drops on Roses Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Rain Drops on Roses Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

I have an earworm from this hop, one I plan on sharing. That phrase “Rain Drops on Roses” is from The Sound of Music, specifically it’s the opening line for the song, “My Favorite Things.”

I’ve shared. Sorry, not sorry. The duration of an earworm is inversely proportional to the number of people it’s shared with. So the more of you who catch it, the shorter I’ll have to put up with it. At least that’s my hope – because damn they’re persistent!

Still, there’s a potential reward for you for having this particular rather charming song stuck in your head. As per usual, I’m giving away the usual Reading Reality hop prize of the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books. All you have to do is tell us what one of YOUR favorite things might be!
