Welcome to the Sparkle Time Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews!
This hop is always right before the Fourth of July, and that’s always an interesting time at Chez Reading Reality even if it isn’t always sparkly. This year, as in previous years, this hop is happening just after we’ve returned from the American Library Association Annual Conference – which was in Chicago this year just as the heat wave descended. (or ascended depending on perspective. The temperatures rose suddenly as we were leaving.) Three years ago, we came home from conference with the plague. Two years ago, we didn’t yet know whether we’d contracted “con crud” or not. (We didn’t). Last year we escaped unscathed. This year, so far, so good, but one of our cars may have given up the ghost on the way TO the airport. So this time around it’s the car’s diagnosis we’re dreading instead of our own.
But we are looking forward to the July 4th holiday this weekend even if the cats are mostly NOT. Or wouldn’t be if they knew. This particular cat clowder is not fond of fireworks, although Hecate’s give-a-damn seems to be utterly busted on most subjects and this one is no exception. Still, they haven’t yet forgiven us for being away and the fireworks are not going to help!
While no one in this house is particularly looking forward to the random booms every night this weekend, 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 your go-tos for keeping cool during the hot months to come?
