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

Last year this hop was before Labor Day, but this year it’s after the holiday. Looking back at last year’s hop post, it seemed like the strange times we were living in were never going to end. From today’s perspective, it just seems like things are getting stranger and stranger instead of better and better. We’ll see what next year brings.

Meanwhile, it’s 2021, Labor Day was yesterday and summer is unofficially over, even if it doesn’t end in the climatological sense until the equinox on September 22. The weather here is starting to cool down, but some of that is a result of the tail end of the most recent hurricane.

Still, it’s lovely to see autumn coming in. Soon the leaves will be turning, and falling, and needing to be raked up. Why was I looking forward to the change of seasons?

Whether you’re still mowing the lawn, starting to rake the leaves or already worrying about shoveling the driveway, I have a giveaway for you, as do all the other stops on this hop. I’m giving away the usual Reading Reality prize, the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or $10 in books. This giveaway is open everywhere the Book Depository ships.

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

This is definitely going to be a September to remember, isn’t it? 2020 has been a year that no one will ever forget. Although the individual months do blend into each other more than a bit.

Labor Day is next Monday, during the run of this hop. For those of us in the U.S., Labor Day has always marked the unofficial start of fall. I’m also just old enough to remember that there were, once upon a time, rules about not wearing white after Labor Day. With all of us staying home more often, I’m not exactly sure how much any of us are wearing white. Or being dressed up enough to even care about what color we are or are not wearing.

September also used to be the month when we went back to school – of course that was back in the days before schools were routinely air conditioned. Cincinnati is more than hot enough in the summer that being inside one of those buildings was generally torture in June and still hotter than Hades in September. I can’t imagine what school in July and August would have been like!

But whether you are staying indoors and keeping warm, or staying indoors and keeping cool until the weather turns into a time to stay in and keep war, I have a giveaway for you. Just fill out the rafflecopter for a chance at your choice of a $10 Amazon Gift Card or the equivalent amount of books from the Book Depository. This giveaway is open to everywhere the Book Depository ships!

Welcome to the September to Remember Giveaway Hop, hosted by The Kids Did It and The Mommy Island.

September begins the unofficial start of the Halloween season, which, bless its little orange and black heart, keeps most people and places from starting to put up Xmas decorations.  (It’s too early, people, the trees still have all their leaves!!!!!)

I’m looking forward to Fall, when it finally reaches us. The high temperature in Atlanta today is predicted to reach the mid 90s, so it definitely isn’t Fall here yet. I took a look at the other cities we’ve lived in, just to see. Gainesville and Tallahassee will both have similar temps to Atlanta, Cincinnati will be in the low 90s this week, Chicago in the mid 80s to mid-70s, Seattle in the high 60s to mid 70s (and rainy). Anchorage is already down to the low 60s and dropping like a rock for the rest of the month. It’s not something I miss.

There are plenty of Fall Festivals around here for the next few weeks – we’ll probably go to one or two.

To help with your Fall Festivities, whatever they might be, I’m giving away the winner’s choice of either a $10 Amazon Gift Card or a $10 Book from the Book Depository.

So welcome to Fall. May all your apples be crisp, and all your leaves be crunchy!
