Do you ever stop reading a book?

January 28, 2021 By Cara Putman

Usually, when I start a book I finish it. If I don't, it's because it gets buried in a corner. In the last week there were two books I was listening to that I had to stop and return to the library.

Digital Stocking Stuffers

December 17, 2020 By Karen Witemeyer

COVID has changed the way we do a lot of things this year, including giving gifts. Instead of baking goodies and mailing out packages, I find that I'm giving a lot of digital gifts this year. If you're in the same boat, how about giving a digital book? All you need is an email address to gift an e-book to a friend or family member. And there just happen to be some great sales going on right … [Read more...]
