Weekly Friday Finds | 07-05-2024| Books ~Author News ~ Recipes ~ Crafts ~ New Trivia Contest Question

Welcome to the Friday Finds for 07-05-2024.

The week’s biggest news is that I survived the family gathering I hosted last Saturday! The German relatives left on Monday, and the Wisconsin relatives left on Tuesday. So, the summer hoopla is over! Now it’s time to take care of everything I let slide during the extensive party prep. If my husband and I weren’t such packrats, major cleaning and organizing wouldn’t be quite so overwhelming. But everyone had a good time, so I think it was worth it.

I’m heading out for a week starting tomorrow, so I may be out of touch occasionally. But I’ll try my best to stay on top of emails and the blog.

Peace & Love,

Gina

These are the reviews I shared this week.

Zilch! Nada! Nothing! I guess that shows just how busy and overwhelmed I’ve been.

Here’s a peek at some of my top-ranked posts this year.

This one is especially for my UK readers as it ships from there. Naturally, if you live elsewhere, it’s still available, but it will cost a bit more and take a little longer to ship.

This week’s trivia question is:

To mix things up a bit this week, here’s a music trivia question for you.

  1. Glad you survived the family gatherings!
    The answer to the trivia is Led Zeppelin.
    I signed up for the Smashwords sale and forgot about it, lol. I haven’t shared about having free downloads and already had two, yet when I shared it in past years I barely got any downloads. I guess I shouldn’t share it!

    You are one busy lady! Better for us to reap all your wonderful ‘finds’.

    Gina, Thanks so much for sharing Falling for a Humbug Cowboy and the Smashwords sale with your readers. I’m sitting here listening to Christmas music to keep me in the mood as I write a Christmas story in the heat of summer. Maybe I’ll write a second Christmas novel during the Christmas season. Seem like it’d be easier. 🙂

    Thanks again!
