Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway Hop, hosted by  The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!

Does it feel early to you? I mean, the whole idea of holiday stockings, stuffed or otherwise? I know it’s time to be thinking about what to stuff in said stockings, but it still feels early to me. Or perhaps it’s just that this year feels like it’s gone by very, very fast.

Thanksgiving will be over by the time this hop ends, and the Xmas Carol onslaught will be in full swing – if it isn’t already. THAT already feels way too early, and like it’s going to go on way too long. But it’s already started just the same. Along with signs advertising for Xmas Tree Lighting Installation. (I wonder if those services offer a discount for folks who need their Halloween decorations taken down and their Xmas Lights put up at the same time?)

But this hop is about the stockings, and the stuffing thereof. What would you like to see in yours this holiday season?

Answer in the rafflecopter for your chance at the usual Reading Reality prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Thanks a Latte Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Thanks a Latte Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Thanks a Latte Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

The names of a lot of giveaway hops are pretty cute, but this one is an especially important pun on no matter how you flavor it!

There’s the easy and obvious first interpretation – without which a lot of us, including moi, don’t have enough spoons to figure out the second meaning. That would be the thanks for the latte, or any form of caffeine that gets us through the day. My personal latte of choice is Chai Latte, yours may be something more coffee flavored.

But the more important message of this hop is that it provides an opportunity for me to thank you, my readers, not just a latte but absolutely a whole LOT for visiting Reading Reality and following along on my reading journey.

Thank you so very much for being here, reading my reviews, commenting when the mood strikes you, and for loving the Sunday cat pictures.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled giveaway. Answer the question in the rafflecopter about your favorite flavor of latte for a chance at the usual Reading Reality prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or up to $10 in books!

And THANKS!

Silly Pumpkins Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Silly Pumpkins Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Silly Pumpkins Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

Notice that the pumpkin in the hop image isn’t a silly pumpkin at all? That’s because silly is in the eye of the beholder. Which leaves it to me to show you one very silly pumpkin:

I think he’s silly because he has FEETS. He’s adorable, but pumpkins can’t walk. Still, FEETS. (On a cat, they are feets and not feet, at least according to The Highly Scientific Anatomy of a Cat – and I’m sticking to that interpretation!

Admittedly, your own personal image of a silly pumpkin might be a bit more like this:

What a great big toothless smile that pumpkin has on its face! So cute!

Whatever lurks in your imagination under the phrase ‘silly pumpkin’, the giveaway for this hop is not imaginary at all. Answer the question in the rafflecopter for your chance at one of Reading Reality’s usual prizes, the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books. It might be enough for a couple of pumpkins to carve – or even a book about pumpkin carving!

Howl-O-Ween Giveaway Hop

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

Welcome to the Howl-o-ween Giveaway Hop, hosted by  The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!

It’s that time of year, again. Fall is most definitely fell, and spooky season is on its way! The new neighbors front yard is already fully tricked out as a haunted graveyard!

There have been a whole bunch of September 30 vs. October 1 memes out there. Most of the ones I’ve seen feature the witches from Hocus Pocus, which I’ve never seen. (That’s probably some sort of sacrilege, I KNOW!) But since I have not seen that movie, here’s a similar themed meme that I most definitely have seen, and still love:

I love how the difference is in their attitudes instead of their costumes or appearance. They’re just so BORED with us all until Halloween season, and then WOW!

Although I remember the original Addams Family TV series, and it was a whole lot of fun, Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston as Gomez and Morticia in the 1990s movies (how time flies!) are still my favorites. What about you? What’s your favorite creepy, spooky or Halloween-themed book, TV series or movie? Answer in the rafflecopter for your chance at our usual giveaway prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books.

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

 

Welcome to the Fall Seasons of Books 2023 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 actually the THIRD day of Fall no matter what it looks like where you are. I’m in Atlanta so the leaves have started falling and the cats are FASCINATED!

But 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 fall of 2023:

shards of glass by michelle sagara
murder crossed her mind by stephen spotswood
bookshops and bonedust by travis baldree
chaos terminal by mur lafferty
valdemar founding by mercedes lackey

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree
Chaos Terminal by Mur Lafferty
Murder Crossed Her Mind by Stephen Spotswood
Shards of Glass by Michelle Sagara
Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey

Holiday Kickoff Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Holiday Kickoff Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Holiday Kickoff Giveaway Hop, hosted by  The Mommy Island & The Kids Did It!

It’s that time again! Or is it? Does it seem like the holiday season starts earlier to you? Is Labor Day too soon? When is it time to put up Christmas decorations? The day after Halloween? The day after Thanksgiving?

Is it too early – please, I sincerely hope it is – for the All Xmas Carol All The Time music channels to start playing everywhere?

When should the holiday season kick off? It seems like a question capable of being endlessly debated, with Thanksgiving and its poor, dried out turkey getting swallowed up in the middle. Maybe someone needs to pull the wishbone to get the best answer!

That IS the question for this hop’s rafflecopter, about when it feels like the holiday season – or what kicks that season off – in your mind. Let us know for a chance at Reading Reality’s usual hop prize, the winner’s choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books.

Hello Autumn Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Hello Autumn Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Hello Autumn Giveaway Hop, hosted by Review Wire Media!

Hello Autumn and Hello Blog Hop! I just found out about this hop late on Sunday, and here we are on Wednesday all ready to welcome in the new season with a giveaway.

As Autumn is football season, it could be said that there’s a ten-yard-penalty for rushing the season, as it won’t officially be autumn until later in the month. Howsomever, any excuse for a blog hop is a good one!

Spring may have sprung several months ago, but Fall is just about to fell – as are all the leaves on the trees if they haven’t started already. Making this the perfect time to start preparing for the season of leaf raking and the cooler temperatures ahead.

Of if you’d rather spend those chillier fall days indoors with a good book – or a bit of cheer from Amazon – enter the rafflecopter for a chance at a bit of one or the other, courtesy of Reading Reality.

Glam and Glits Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Glam and Glits Giveaway Hop> Glam and Glitz Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Glam and Glits Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

I have to talk about the ‘glam’ of this hop rather than the ‘glits’ because I still don’t know what a glit is. Glitter? Glitz? Something along one of those lines, I imagine.

But glamor at least is a word I’m sure of. Isn’t it funny how the definition of what that means changes over the years? Or at least the official definition. I’m pretty sure that ‘glamorousness’ is still in the eye of the beholder – adjacent to but not exactly twinsies with beauty being in the eye of its beholder.

Your mileage may vary, whether it’s glamorous or not.

Enter in the rafflecopter for your chance at one of Reading Reality’s usual prizes, the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in Books. It might not buy a whole lot of glamor but it should be good for a glit or two!

Old School Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Blog Hops> Giveaways> Old School Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Old School Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

I’m not sure whether to ask “What is Old School?” or instead “Why does the stuff we remember so fondly become ‘Old School’ so damn fast?” And I think it’s the second question, dammit.

The music I listened to in high school is now ‘Classic Rock’, at least when it isn’t ‘Yacht Rock’, a designation whose name doesn’t make as much sense as I wish it did. The games that introduced me to computer gaming are so old school they need even more adaptation to play now than they did then – and don’t get me started on ‘boot disks’ because OMG that was such trial back in the day.

A huge part of what made Ready Player One – the book at least – so much fun for so many people, including moi – was that it made Old School seem new again – or at least took me back to when it was new and so was I.

What’s your favorite example of ‘Old School’ or what does that term mean to you? You know the drill about the rafflecopter and what you’ll get if you win, so have at it!

Back to School Giveaway Hop

Posted on by Marlene Harris | Author : | Back to School Giveaway Hop> Blog Hops> Giveaways

Welcome to the Back to School Giveaway Hop, hosted by Review Wire Media!

This was kind of a last minute hop, which seems utterly apropos as back to school preparations seem to spring up on pretty much everyone at the last minute. And that’s true no matter how far in advance people know when the kids are going back to school. The ‘lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer’ feel like they’re going to last forever – until they’re abruptly over.

That it’s still more than hot enough at least in the Lower 48, to seem as if the dog days of the season are NEVER going to end makes that whole transition to Back to School seem just that much more sudden and even anti-seasonal.

But if you’re looking for a little something to help ease those hot and sultry dog days, or if you need a bit of a breather as you rush around with the after-the-last-minute school stuff that always crops up, here’s your chance for just a bit of a pick-me-up, courtesy of Reading Reality.
