Free to Amazon Prime Members + Rendezvous!

November 22, 2024 By Becky Wade

Did you know that Amazon Prime members have access to a selection of free ebooks, magazines, and audiobooks? I've been an Amazon Prime member for years. However, the "Prime Reading" part of my membership wasn't on my radar until Amazon reached out to me and offered to pay me to place Memory Lane in Prime Reading for a limited time. I said yes because I felt it was a worthwhile experiment. All … [Read more...]

Wedding Joy

November 21, 2024 By Karen Witemeyer

Last Saturday my youngest son married his high school sweetheart. The Lord blessed us with beautiful weather for the outdoor venue. November in Texas can provide anything from summer heat to rain storms to snow and ice, but the day was absolutely perfect! As a hope-filled romantic, I loved every minute of the day, despite the exhaustion and stress. Nothing makes a parent happier than seeing … [Read more...]

Rendezvous Surprises

November 20, 2024 By D'Ann Mateer

When my sister Debra retired from teaching in May, we wanted to plan a trip for just the two of us simply because we could. I brought up the Just Reads Rendezvous. Debra is a reader, too, and I’ve long wanted to introduce her in person to some of the wonderful authors whose books she has read. So we signed up, both of us attending as readers. When we discovered we could add on the Christy Awards … [Read more...]

A trip with the grands to the pumpkin patch

November 19, 2024 By Tamera Alexander

The 3FarmGals (the name of the text thread that includes my daughter, my daughter-in-law, and me—story on that name below) took my two sweet grands to the pumpkin patch recently, and my daughter Kelsey made a quick video... That I may have already watched 247 times. 👀 If I haven't said it lately, I ADORE being Gram Tam to Leo and Ari. It's one of the biggest joys of my … [Read more...]

The squirrel in my garage

November 18, 2024 By Angela Hunt

A squirrel has been living in my garage . . . apparently, for a long time. I first noticed when I was cleaning out the garage. I had placed a large sheet of cardboard over a back window, hoping to keep the sun from fading some books I have stored in the garage. That's when I noticed that the cardboard had been chewed away . . . and there were little bits of cardboard scattered all over the … [Read more...]

Something Delicious

November 15, 2024 By Robin Lee Hatcher

On Monday, I finished writing my 94th book. To Capture a Mountain Man is the third book in The British Are Coming series, and it will release in February 2025. (To confuse things, my 93rd book doesn’t release until summer 2025.) To celebrate typing “The End,” I went to see “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” on Tuesday. I laughed. I happy-cried. It is a delight from start to finish and should … [Read more...]

Six Books I’m Excited to Read

November 14, 2024 By Cara Putman

The rest of this month I have to be nose down, fingers on keyboard, every moment that I'm not teaching, grading or engaged in a most do activity with my family. Those include high school swim meets and Thanksgiving. While I'm being focused and diligent, I'm building quite the to-be-read pile for after I turn this book in. These books look sooooo good that it's taking a lot of discipline to not … [Read more...]

Top Ten Gifts

November 13, 2024 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday. I am so happy to be back with you today. With the aftermath of the flood still consuming a lot of time and energy, I completely forgot about today’s post as of yesterday morning. Yikes! Then a sweet friend gave me the best idea. She said to make a list of things readers can give authors they are thankful for. I loved it! And, since she named several gifts that cost … [Read more...]
