Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Today I'm excited to participate in the Sip Sip Hooray Giveaway Hop hosted by MamatheFox. I hope you’re having a good summer. I’m having a good week. Yesterday was my birthday, and I had dinner with my daughter and son-in-law. Later this week, I’m going to the Art Fair with my daughter. It’s an annual tradition. Then I’m going to visit with my aunt and cousins who are traveling in Michigan. So it’s a busy, fun week. I’m grateful. 

Book of Your Choice or Amazon Gift Card 

I am offering a book of your choice that is $20 or less on Amazon or The Book Depository. 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 you mention this contest on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media sites and/or follow me on Twitter, 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.
