May 1, 2024


Wasn't it just January last week? I can't believe we're already in the fifth month of 2024!


May will be a crazy-busy month around here! Our daughter is due with our third granddaughter at ANY moment now. My hubby and I have already stepped in to help with the grand girls this week as preparations ramp up. I'm also trying to clear thirty years worth of stuff from our kitchen cabinets as we're getting a new kitchen soon. This has been a lonnnggg time coming; I'm beyond excited. Photos to come!

Okay, the news I wanted to let you in on last month can now be shared!


I'm thrilled to announce that I'm one of the authors in the next round of books for The Coffee Loft series!


I fell in love when I spotted the first books published earlier this year and put them on my TBR list right away. Of course, I had to jump at the opportunity to write a book for the Fall Collection when it opened up! Fourteen new titles in the series, including mine, A Cafe Au Lait Kind of Love, will publish every Tuesday and Thursday, beginning in September.

Who's ready for another Clean My Shelves Giveaway?! If you're a new subscriber, let me clue you in on the fun. Clean My Shelves giveaways started out as a way to pass along some of the paperbacks that I've bought, read and enjoyed. But I can hardly pass up a good paperback sale or a Little Free Library so I keep bringing more books into the house than I give away!


Anyway, I’ll pick TWO lucky winners from those who send me their choice by replying to this e-mail. Please take note: all of these are lovingly USED books. And so sorry, non-US friends, I can only ship within the country. If by chance I choose someone outside the U.S., I’ll offer a $5 Amazon gift card instead.

The choices are:


Fast Track by Fern Michaels


Fancy Dancer by Fern Michaels


Secrets of the Tulip Sisters by Susan Mallery


The Sweetheart List by Jill Shelves


The Beach House by Jenny Hale


Under the Southern Sky by Kristy Woodson Harvey


The contest closes this Sunday night 5/5/24, at 7 p.m. CST. Winners will be notified via e-mail on Monday and have 48 hours to respond. PLEASE check your e-mail on Monday! Winners will also be announced in the next

newsletter.

I'm still reading Lady Tan's Circle of Women, and I'm really enjoying it. Next up for me is Rachael Bloome's new book, The Unexpected Inn, which released today. I've included it as a recommendation below because her books are always so charming.
