Amazing Friday Finds June 18-2021
Welcome my friends! I’m so happy to have you here this week. Life has been a bit chaotic for my family lately with lots of time-consuming events and projects happening in rapid succession. So if I seem a bit scattered, you are only seeing the surface. It’s way worse in my head! hahaha
I have been reading every spare minute on my phone and my iPad. I believe I read one of my picks for favorite of the year this week. Check it out below!
We’re honoring fathers here in the States Sunday, so I’m adding in some finds for that holiday, but they are good for everyone year-round.
The winner of last week’s comment contest is Crystal. She’s ready to begin her book blogging adventure and is looking for books to review in print format. So if you know an author looking for reviews, contact her through her website. Here is her Goodreads Profile.
Remember, if you have anything you would like to see in next week’s edition, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can find for you.
That’s it from me today. I have a gazillion things to do this weekend so need to run! Hope you have a wonderful week.

Great macrame project Gina! I adored The Mostly Invisible Boy. I can’t wait for more from the series. 😀
I wish Prime day would help me sell some books, but it never does. I hope it will help you with your affiliate stuff. I still never got around to signing up to be an affiliate.
Love the looks of these books. Look like great reads. Would love to read and review in print format.
The recipes look yummy and the craftsare very creative. It’s always special to get a gift on Father’s Day but a homemade gift is priceless
Thank you Gina. I look forward to getting notified for doing print reviews
Thanks Again
Hi Gina! I enjoyed your review of The Kiminee Dream, which looks like a great read! I got the kindle edition to read on my phone. We had several abbreviated versions of our normal family gatherings too. It was wonderful to meet the newest baby in the family!
Wow! Snoop Dogg’s cookbook and a hotsauce kit! It’s too early for all this excitement! Tweeted!!
