2021 Friday Finds June 4
Hello & Welcome!
Have you ever had one of those times where something you planned just didn’t go well? That was me last weekend. The long-anticipated trip to visit our Wisconsin babies fell through at the last minute when both boys were sent home from daycare with a tummy bug.
We were sad but enjoyed a weekend of just hanging out on the farm with no obligations. I read and reviewed some of my backlog of books and Tom worked on the garden and pool. It was nice, but I would sure rather have been cuddling some grandbabies. We are going to try again this weekend. Hopefully, by the time you read this, I will be headed North!
Do you have fun plans for this first weekend in June?
Did you know you could earn a featured spot in my BookShop or on the sidebar of my website by simply leaving a comment on this post? The winner from last week is the lovely Missy Tarantino. I’ve reviewed several of her books and they are always delightful.
Now let’s move onto the Finds. I hope you enjoy them.

2021 Friday Finds June 4 – Books
The Red Button by Keith Eldred
The prequel to A CHRISTMAS CAROL— A sweet Regency Christmas romance
Here, at last, is the untold story of Scrooge’s doomed engagement
Belle Endicott and Ebenezer Scrooge are young, bookish, hardworking Londoners, drawn together by button-making. His brand-new factory threatens her family’s tiny shop, yet they fall in love and start planning their future. When personal and business calamities strike, they confront them vigorously side by side, but ultimately something has to give. We know what it is. They do not.
Keith also has a very dear to his heart project, which we’d like you to read about HERE!
