I’m So Excited!

January 10, 2025 By Becky Wade

My novel, Uneasy Street, releases NEXT MONTH! I'm currently listening to the audiobook. Here's a video I recorded when I was just a few chapters in... I've now listened to half of the audiobook and my feelings haven't changed. I'm thrilled with the work the narrators did with my novel! Listening to the audiobook is one of the big rewards of my writing year. It reminds me why I really do … [Read more...]

Create a Book Reading Plan & Giveaway

January 9, 2025 By Cara Putman

It's the start of a new year and that's an exciting time. It means it's time for a new reading challenge. I use Goodreads to track the books I read (in 2024, that was 100 books), but I know others use different tools. However, whatever tool you use, I love being able to go back and check which books I read when. It's been a great way for me to capture all the books I've read. Yet like many of you, … [Read more...]

 The Beauty of Words

January 8, 2025 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday. I'm excited to spend a little bit of today with you. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a joyous New Year. I know it’s that time of year when many of us make New Year’s resolutions, goals, vision boards, and so much to strive for to make this year the year you get (fill in the blank). I’m very much the same. I have my list. But … [Read more...]

A REALLY sweet reader meet

January 7, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

Back in October, my dear friend Alli who teaches high school here in Nashville texted to tell me she'd loaned A Million Little Choices to a friend (a mom), whose teenage son then saw her reading it. The son sent Alli a text saying, "So I hear you know Tamera Alexander." (LOL) To which Alli (who is absolutely hysterical) simply replied, "GO ON." He then explained that Tamera Alexander was his … [Read more...]

Welcome, Baby New Year

January 6, 2025 By Angela Hunt

I always enjoy the turn of the year, even though January first is pretty much like December thirty-first. Nothing really changes except our mindset. But it's nice to turn a page on the calendar and make some new starts--a new devotional book, a new Bible reading plan, a new novel to read and/or write, and a new way of eating. I don't really believe in resolutions for the new year--probably … [Read more...]

Looking Back, Looking Forward

January 3, 2025 By Robin Lee Hatcher

As an old year comes to an end, I always like to reflect on it on my personal blog, and I decided that post was worth sharing with my Inspired by Life and Fiction family on this first post of mine in the new year. So here is my slightly modified version of that post: I don’t know about you, but I find it shocking that we just hit the one-quarter mark in the 21st century. And think of this: my … [Read more...]

Bookish Goodies Under the Tree

January 2, 2025 By Karen Witemeyer

Did any of you get books or book-themed items under the tree this year? I ended up with a great assortment of fun, bookish gifts. My son and newest daughter-in-law gave me a gorgeous nativity snow globe whose base is a stack of books. Love it! My daughter gave me a new board game called Illiterati - a cooperative game where our team of librarians work together to save the world from … [Read more...]

Most Anticipated Reads in 2025

January 1, 2025 By D'Ann Mateer

Happy 2025!  The beginning of a new year is always exciting to me. There are so many things to plan for and dream about. One of those things is reading!  Shocker, right?  Here are some books I’m looking forward to reading in 2025. They are not all 2025 releases. Some came out at the end of 2024. Others are older than that. And many coming out in 2025 are not even on my … [Read more...]
