🌻Friday Finds | 04-18-2025 | 💙📚

Whew, what a week! I had some fantastic spotlights and thoughtful reviews roll in, and yes—there were prizes (because who doesn’t love a little giveaway magic?). From time-traveling Highlanders and heart-wrenching memoirs to a seriously helpful AI toolkit for authors, this week’s finds were all over the map—in the best possible way. Plus, I’ve got a breakfast casserole lineup that’ll make your weekend mornings shine, and a few sweet surprises tucked in at the bottom (you know I love to keep things interesting). I also have an announcement about emails and blog posts.

Let’s jump into this week’s Friday Finds and see what all the buzz is about!
