Tonight is Christmas Day and the first night of Hanukkah.
Get ready, we’re going into the new year with candles and jelly donuts and latkes and it’s going to be a party!
Traditionally, I do giveaways for each night of Hanukkah, but this year, I want to do something different: care packages!
Yup, we’re sending you a care package just in time for the beginning of 2025.
First: my Hanukkah wishes for you tonight and for the next eight: may you bring light with you into the future, and may you share your light with everyone who needs a glimmer in the darkness. May there be peace in our lifetime.
Now, let’s talk about what’s in the care packages. This has been a lot of fun, especially since my children don’t go to sleepaway camp, and my care package skills have not been used to their full potential.
I reached out to folks I know in publishing, and have assorted books, of course! There will be several books in each package, including some major titles from this year. And maybe an ARC or two (shhh!).
Plus, I want to send you some cozy feelings in the form of fuzzy socks, hand cream, my favorite easy-to-find lip balm (so you can get more if you love it, too) and a small scented candle in a very pretty tin.
The socks come in a package that looks like a cupcake and I am DELIGHTED about this. They are very warm and fuzzy and COME IN A CUPCAKE SHAPE.
You’ll also get an assortment of stickers, too, and whatever else I can fit in the box that is fun, festive and full of Fuzzy Feelings.
Plus, Elyse has put together a care package, too!
For this care package I’m giving away a 40 oz insulated tumbler from The Pawffee Shop Cat Cafe where the Letters from Lady Whiskerdown are composed. I’m also including a big ol box of books, some of which are December new releases.
Thank you so much for being part of yet another lovely year here at SBTB. We are still here, and it’s because of you hanging out with us each day.
SO, ready to enter to win?
To enter, please comment and tell us what book (or anything!) that you found at SBTB that you most enjoyed? It doesn’t have to be a 2024 book, of course. Any book that you haven’t read is a new book! But what did you discover this year at SBTB that you really liked?
Standard disclaimers apply: We are not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to be warm and cozy and be-socked with books and candles and other fun things. May cause increased feelings of security, warmth, and delight.
Comments will close 2 January 2025 at or near 11:59am ET, and winner will be announced shortly afterward.
Thank you to Erin Galloway at Berkley, and to Kristen Dwyer of LeoPR for their generosity!
Good luck, Happy Hanukkah, and thank you for being part of Smart Bitches! May you have a lovely holiday, and for everyone, a peaceful new year.
