Colorado Travels (and a giveaway)

July 8, 2024 By Deborah Raney

Ken made this trip last summer while I stayed home to write, but he wanted me to share the places he'd enjoyed so much. Colorado is gorgeous this year and I've taken hundreds of photos, but I want to just share some highlights with you today. [And please stay tuned to the end where I'll … [Read more...]

What’s your reading style?

July 5, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Recently, I posted a question in a Facebook Group as well as on my Facebook Page. I thought it would be fun to get your answers too. The question:How do you like to consume the books you read? Print? Audiobook? eBook reader? By far, most of my reading is done via audiobooks (at least 90%), and most of those are via the app on my phone. I love audiobooks! After about 20 years of membership, … [Read more...]

A Mustang Tradition

July 4, 2024 By Karen Witemeyer

. Happy 4th of July!!! The holiday for family barbeques and thanking God for the country we live in. Last week, we traveled to the Oklahoma City area to deliver my youngest son to the Air Traffic Control Training Center they have there. Peter will be training to be an in-route ATC for the next three months. It felt a bit like we were dropping him off at college, even though he's already … [Read more...]

Another Boston Trip in the Books

July 3, 2024 By D'Ann Mateer

You might notice this post has gone up later in the day than usual for me. That’s because we are heading home from another great trip to Boston and it was a late night last night! But more about that later.  Last year, one arm of my husband’s company began offering historical tours to their supporters. These tours focus on things through the lens of our religious freedom, which is the … [Read more...]

Happy 88th Birthday, GWTW!

July 1, 2024 By Angela Hunt

As of yesterday, June 30, Gone with the Wind (the book) is 88 years old! I found a copy in the house that my family rented when I was in fifth grade. I started reading it and just couldn't stop! I so admired Scarlett--and I always joke that I learned how to flirt from reading about her. How she said to look at a man across the room and smile as though you know a secret, then coyly look away . . . … [Read more...]

Booksignings, Bookish Confessions, and Book Giveaways

June 27, 2024 By Cara Putman

The last few weeks have been so fun. In addition to our trip to London for study abroad, I've had a couple booksignings. It's been so much fun to connect with readers I've known via social media for awhile -- there's something about meeting in person that's so fun! On Saturday I was at one of my favorite independent bookstores down in Nashville, Indiana. Nashville is a charming little town … [Read more...]
