February 24, 2022 By Cara Putman

There are so many good books coming out this year. There are already so many wonderful choices for your reading pleasure.

It feels like fall has barely arrived but as we near November, I've been thinking about my favorite Christmas movies and books. The Hallmark channel is already filled with new and old Christmas movies...I've been seeing the images fill my social media feeds. Honestly, it's rather startling to think that in two months Christmas will already be behind us. This year has flown by and ready or not, … [Read more...]
