Let's Trim the Tree!

Welcome to the last blog hop of 2014! I'm surprised that the year has flown by so quickly! But now is the time to celebrate Christmas, and what usually happens during Christmas for book lovers, we get books! And that's what this hop is all about. It's to spread some Holiday cheer and discuss our favorite Christmas ornaments! Do you have any that hold sentimental value? If so, share it with us during this hop on each blog! Happy Hopping!

Welcome to the Fall Into Books Blog Hop!!

Books!  That's the sole reason we're here!  We all have that special place we love to read at or a special book that we go back to time and time again.  What's your favorite place to read, and what is that special book you want to fall into again and again? 

Join our authors on the follow blogs and discuss this with them. And you know what, you may even win a prize or two! 

Twenty-three authors want to make your weekend better by sharing their favorite books with you! Happy Hopping!!

 

Fall Into Books - Upcoming Blog Hop Opportunity

Hello, our lovely followers! As you know, we've downgraded to less hops per year (four in total), but you'll be happy to know, we have our third one coming up September 26-29!

We're asking that if you are an author who follows this page, maybe you will consider joining the hop. What can it do for you? It's GREAT exposure! We have custom tweets and Facebook posts that are sent out via our hoppers and our Candlelight Reads Facebook page. (We may get a Twitter account, but that hasn't happened yet.)

We ask that everyone gives away something on their blog, and it can be a copy of your work or swag which is VERY popular with readers! Or a gift card giveaway! All work out beautifully, and it helps spread the word for your novel.

Each blog on the tour will link to your blog, so when our readers are through with one, they'll hop to another.Where they will read your post and enter your giveaway!

We aren't asking for your money to participate. It's all free. All you have to do is supply a prize to the hoppers. That's it.

So, if you're interested, join our fall hop. The page to sign up is here: http://candlelightreads.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_1779.html

The week of the hop, you will receive an email with all of the instructions.

Also, if you need some questions answered, please message us through our Facebook page or you can contact Emerald Barnes via her contact page.

We look forward to hopping with you!

Take a Bite Out of Summer Blog Hop

With summer comes some of the best things to eat!  Fresh vegetables and fruit from gardens or the market, watermelons, strawberries. Of course, there are the sweet treats that are so yummy in the summer heat: ice cream, frozen yogurt, or snow cones.

Maybe there is a special treat you like to have each summer. That's what this hop is all about! And don't forget to stop by each blog below and see what little treats we're giving away! I'm sure summer will be even sweeter with these hot prizes!

Have fun hopping!

Welcome to a Spring in Your Step Blog Hop!

With Spring comes shedding those thick winter coats and daring to venture outside.  How do you celebrate spring?

Find out what our hoppers like most about Spring time!  Follow these awesome blogs below and entire to win some really cool prizes!
