Author Lia Louis wrote Eight Perfect Hours, a love story that will warm your heart.
In this romantic and heartwarming novel, two strangers meet in chance circumstances during a blizzard and spend one perfect evening together, thinking they’ll never see each other again. But fate seems to have different plans.
Allison Larkin wrote The People We Keep. It is about the heartbreak and redemption of a plucky, irresistible protagonist.
Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home.
“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”

I love the recipes from the Cookie & Kate blog. I actually have made quite a few of their recipes. Am going to take a look at the 15 healthy pumpkin ones – I love pumpkin and a bonus when they’re healthy recipes, too.
Meant to tell you – I love your new blog logo! Who did it?
Hi Brenda
I have not commented on your site before but have followed you daily for years. Have always enjoyed your decorating and down to earth ways. I am really enjoying your New and Notable posts. I also enjoy your stories of cat antics as I have two cats myself. They’re fun and good company. Just thought it was time to let you know how much I enjoy your blog.
