It’s been raining for months and months (three days), and I am seriously going nuts. I want to mess around in the garden, but the heavy downpours have been keeping me inside. I can handle a little rain while gardening, but monsoons are a bit too much for me. Here’s the thing. I have a lot of work to do, and playing in the yard is not on that list. I should be happy the rain is making me stay inside and work, but once I get an idea in my head, it will kick and scream until I do it. That’s one of the problems with working from home. The benefit is you get to be home. The downside is I always get distracted. I actually get distracted by the squirrel that runs across the back fence daily. The pups and I get all excited when we spot him and run to the window to see where he is going. It’s always to the neighbors tree. Always. But we watch and see anyways.

FREE for a limited time

One year after her husband’s death, Julie is still lost in her grief. Desperate for a fresh start, she sets out on Spain’s legendary Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage that promises challenge, beauty, and perhaps a chance to feel alive again.

On the trail, Julie battles grueling climbs, injury, and her own doubts. But she also discovers unexpected allies: pilgrims from around the world who walk beside her, share their stories, and remind her she isn’t as alone as she thought.

What Julie doesn’t know is that her late husband left behind one final surprise, a secret gift waiting for her at the end of the road.

Heartfelt, hopeful, and filled with the magic of the ancient path, The Last Camino is a story of second chances, the friendships that lift us, and of never knowing where life’s journey will lead or end.

A floating corpse. A county on the verge of chaos. One man’s race against corruption.

When Fen Maguire handed over his badge nine months ago, Newman County was clean and safe — a legacy he thought would endure. But the drug dealer’s corpse drifting down the Brazos tells a different story.

With the victim’s house torched and evidence implicating the new sheriff’s father, Fen’s artistic retirement is cut short. His discovery of a hidden drug cache and coded notebook reveals a web of corruption that runs deeper than anyone suspected.

As the new sheriff stonewalls the investigation, Fen must dust off his detective skills. Armed with his artist’s eye for detail and his investigator’s instinct for deception, he races to unmask a killer before Newman County becomes unrecognizable.

In a town where old loyalties clash with new corruption, one question haunts Fen: How far will he go to protect the community he once swore to serve?

The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Malachi the Queer: The Boys Who Survived a Gay-Cure Camp (The Clay Gay Universe Book 1)
by Damian Jay Clay
4.6 Stars (86 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

They wanted to break him. He refused to bow.

Fourteen-year-old Malachi is brilliant, self-assured, and quietly furious. He’s gay. He’s an atheist. And he’s the son of a Baptist pastor.

When his parents send him to a Christian “conversion” camp, Malachi arrives armed with arguments and defiance, ready to endure, maybe even escape. But what begins as manipulation and shame soon turns into something far more dangerous, a place where control is absolute, obedience is enforced, and violence wears a holy face.

As the rules tighten and the punishments deepen, Malachi fights to hold onto the only things they can’t take from him: his love for another boy, and the voice inside him that refuses to be silenced.

The Crucifixion and Resurrection of Malachi the Queer is a bold, unflinching LGBTQ+ coming-of-age novel about faith, survival, first love, and the courage to stay true to yourself when the world tries to erase you.

Perfect for readers of Boy Erased, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, and They Both Die at the End.

Here For The Cake (Serendipity & Shenanigans)
by Jennifer Millikin
4.4 Stars (9,050 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

A spicy, sassy, and swoony fake dating romantic comedy from Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin.

A week on an island sounds like the stuff of beach dreams, but for Paisley Royce, it’s a nightmare. Her little sister is marrying her ex-college sweetheart, and Paisley is serving as maid of honor. To add insult to injury, nobody will let Paisley forget she’s single.

Bachelorette weekend changes everything when she runs into her old college frenemy, Klein Madigan.

Klein is still intelligent and funny, and somehow time has only made him more attractive.

Paisley is Klein’s ‘one that got away’, not that he’d ever admit it to her. A colossal misstep (and one terrible kiss) in college sealed their fate.

Or so they thought.

Klein’s an aspiring author allergic to social media. Paisley owns a digital marketing agency.

A brilliant plan is hatched: A trip across the country for a week of faking out her family in exchange for her firm marketing his work.

One hastily scrawled and signed contract on a bar napkin later, Paisley and Klein embark on a journey of tension, only one bed, and fake dating shenanigans.

Paisley’s goal is to survive the week.

Klein’s plan is to enjoy the sun, sand, and wedding cake.

But then there’s a scorching kiss to make up for that bad one in college.

And another kiss in a lighthouse during a thunderstorm. A gentle palm on Paisley’s lower back, and a reassuring hand squeeze under the table.

Everyone is convinced Klein and Paisley are the real deal, but as the week wears on, they begin to wonder if the only people they’re kidding are themselves.

Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche: The New Adventures of Enola Holmes 1
by Nancy Springer
4.6 Stars (1,121 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

“A young girl who is empowered, capable, and smart… the Enola Holmes book series convey an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it, and it does so in an exciting and adventurous way.”–Millie Bobby Brown

Enola Holmes is back! Nancy Springer’s nationally bestselling series and breakout Netflix sensation returns to beguile readers young and old in Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche.

Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of her more famous brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft. But she has all the wits, skills, and sleuthing inclinations of them both. At fifteen, she’s an independent young woman–after all, her name spelled backwards reads ‘alone’–and living on her own in London. When a young professional woman, Miss Letitia Glover, shows up on Sherlock’s doorstep, desperate to learn more about the fate of her twin sister, it is Enola who steps up. It seems her sister, the former Felicity Glover, married the Earl of Dunhench and per a curt note from the Earl, has died. But Letitia Glover is convinced this isn’t the truth, that she’d know–she’d feel–if her twin had died.

The Earl’s note is suspiciously vague and the death certificate is even more dubious, signed it seems by a John H. Watson, M.D. (who denies any knowledge of such). The only way forward is for Enola to go undercover–or so Enola decides at the vehement objection of her brother. And she soon finds out that this is not the first of the Earl’s wives to die suddenly and vaguely–and that the secret to the fate of the missing Felicity is tied to a mysterious black barouche that arrived at the Earl’s home in the middle of the night. To uncover the secrets held tightly within the Earl’s hall, Enola is going to require help–from Sherlock, from the twin sister of the missing woman, and from an old friend, the young Viscount Tewkesbury, Marquess of Basilwether!

Enola Holmes returns in her first adventure since the hit Netflix movie brought her back on the national bestseller lists, introducing a new generation to this beloved character and series.
