Winter Wishes Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Winter Wishes Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews!

Winter is definitely HERE and PRESENT and ACCOUNTED FOR this year. Probably more than a lot of places want. We had a real winter last weekend with actual accumulated snowfall and everything. I thought it would be, not a once in a lifetime event of course, but let’s call it a once in a school career event for the children in the neighborhood. (Cincinnati is colder than Atlanta but it doesn’t get much snow either. I only experienced ONE snow day between kindergarten and high school graduation and I was expecting the same here.)

But NO, we might get more snow next week! Once was fun, especially since it fell on a Friday and was gone by Sunday. No one wants snow on a Wednesday. But climate is what you expect and weather is what you get, so we’ll see what we get around here next week.

What about where you are? Are your winter wishes for more snow? Are you getting more regardless? And are you already counting down the days until spring is sprung?

New Year, New You Giveaway Hop

Happy New Year and welcome to the New Year, New You Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox and Mom Does Reviews!

Like the song says, “Another one bites the dust…” and so it goes with 2024. Hello 2025!

This year at Chez Reading Reality has certainly had its ups and downs. Or at least one really big down as we lost our dear demon Lucifer in early July. Every so often I still think I see the old man out of the corner of my eye. Don’t worry, I’m not seeing ghosts, I’m seeing Hecate, who is not herself a black cat but as a tortie is mostly black especially on top. And not that she doesn’t get some extra scritches when I see her like that.

Looking ahead to 2025, as I certainly will in tomorrow’s Most Anticipated Books post, April 4, 2025 will mark Reading Reality’s FOURTEENTH Blogoversary. This has turned out to be the longest, best and most fulfilling job that I’ve ever had – and I have no intention of stopping.

But each year represents a chance to make some changes, and that’s true this year as well. Last year I started posting on Instagram. I’ve just picked up Bluesky and Threads and am pondering how much or how little I’ll continue on X. Authors are dropping X at a prodigious rate, but publishers are still hanging on and hanging out. So we’ll see how that all goes in the months ahead.

Happy New Year to you and yours!

Winter 2024-2025 Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Winter 2024-2025 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. Saturday, December 21, was the first official day of winter for the 2024-2025 season, and this hop did officially start then. But the hop organizers are VERY understanding, so those blogs that participate get a few days grace to post their giveaway post – a grace I am always grateful for when the first day of the season is on a weekend.

The holidays are upon us, the year is winding to a close, the weather outside may or may not be frightful, and the days have thankfully started to get longer again. There will hopefully be plenty of time to read over the chilly if not downright cold months to come. (I just finished a book set in Chicago in February. It reminded me, fondly but frostily, of just how damn cold and nasty Chicago can be in the winter. The ONLY virtue to February in Chicago is that it’s SHORT.)

Looking at  the books in the graphic for this season’s hop, I was surprised to discover that not a one of them are on my personal TBR pile for the season – not that I’m not always looking forward to more than a few books EVERY season. Here are a few that have risen to the top of my list for this winter of 2024-2025:

The Baby Dragon Cafe by A.T. Qureshi
Beast of the North Woods by Annelise Ryan
Dead in the Frame by Stephen Spotswood
The Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
An Excellent Thing in a Woman by Allison Montclair
Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybourn
The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison
Shattering Dawn by Jayne Ann Krentz
Swordheart by T. Kingfisher
Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne

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!

Dashing December Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Dashing December Giveaway Hop, hosted by Mama the Fox!

December certainly does ‘DASH’ by, doesn’t it? Then there’s “Dashing through the snow…” And let’s not forget Dasher, one of Santa’s reindeer.

Plus there’s all that dashing around to get everything done before the holidays. More than enough dashing in that to make anyone long for a cocoa and lie down once the holidays start winding down. Then again, the countdown for Xmas 2025 starts on Boxing Day, December 26.

Back to that cocoa and lie down, possibly with a good book. Something to dream about in the midst of all the holiday bustle. Answer the question in the rafflecopter 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. That should be enough for a book and a hot cuppa something delicious.

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 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.

The MUCH more important message of this hop is that it provides an opportunity for me to thank you, my readers, not just a little bit 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. Luna, Tuna, Hecate and George are always thrilled to hear from their fans!

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

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

The pumpkin in the hop image isn’t silly at all. The poor thing doesn’t even have a face! To make up for its lack, here’s a whole row of silly pumpkin faces:

(My favorite is the third from the left. Not only does it look like it’s surprised to be in the line-up – it has HAIR!

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!
