Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop


Happy Thursday Everyone! Today I'm excited to participate in the Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop hosted by MamatheFox  and MomDoesReviews. Are you having a good summer? Yesterday and today are fantastic days for me. It was my 70th birthday yesterday, and I'm finally getting my social security. I'm so excited! I honestly don't feel 70 at all. I think being an older mom kept me younger. 

And I had a really fun dinner with my daughter and son-in-law to celebrate. Today, my daughter and I are having our annual Art Fair outing in Ann Arbor. I have other fun things to look forward to, too. I hope you're having a good summer.  

Book of Your Choice or Amazon Gift Card

I am offering a book of your choice that is $20 or less on Amazon. I’m looking forward to seeing what books everyone is looking forward to reading.  

If you don’t have a book you want, you can win a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

Giveaway Details

To enter, all you need to do is be a follower of my blog (via the follower gadget, email, or bloglovin’ on the right sidebar) and leave a comment by July 31st telling me whether you want a book, and if so, which one, or the Amazon gift card and your email address. Be sure to include your email address. If I do not have your email (I can no longer get it from your Google Profile), you must leave it in the comments to enter the contest. Please be sure I have your email address. 

If you mention this contest on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media sites and/or follow me on Twitter or Bluesky, mention this in the comments and I'll give you an extra entry for each. You must be 13 years old or older to enter. The book giveaway is U.S. only and the Amazon gift card giveaway is International.

Monday, July 20th, I have an interview with Emma Otherguy and a giveaway of her MG Adventure in the City of Stories
