The most brilliant thing I have been doing lately is searching for videos and groups about sweet little dogs. I have decided to tell the algorithm gods that sweet puppy videos and pictures is all that I am interested in. Oh wait.. and plants as well. I love seeing other peoples gardens. Mine is a bit of a hot mess right now and I have no time to work in it. I am able to steal a few minutes here and there to do research on my phone for ideas and inspiration though. Unfortunately with all the puppy pictures on my computer there is always the threat of hubby getting the urge to get another pup. NOPE!!!

Francesca’s Voice
by Nova Fornell, Gail Bienstock
4.1 Stars (49 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

One Broken Family. A second chance to make things right.

Francesca’s Voice is a richly layered story of a young woman’s fight for autonomy, protection of her sister, and self-actualization. She embodies resilience and hope amid complex family dynamics in her quest for healing and reconciliation.

On the cusp of adulthood, Francesca Hansen secretly prepares to move out of her father’s destructive home, escaping Phillip’s controlling and verbally abusive behavior to reclaim her voice and confidence.

Parallel to her family struggles, she embarks on an entrepreneurial path to secure financial stability and custody of her younger sister, Jenny, partnering up with a man who adds personal complexity to their relationship through his unresolved past tensions with her dad.

Amidst the turmoil, Francesca grapples with her passion for ballet — a vital outlet for self-expression and coping that her mom shared with her before she passed away.

Supported by friends, her next-door neighbor and developing love interest, Adrian, the story intricately weaves themes of resilience, family conflict, legal battles, love, and forgiveness, culminating in a hopeful resolution of fractured relationships and new beginnings.

4.4 Stars (10 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

Hunger and Hollow drops you beside Sebastian Moreau — the silver-eyed enforcer of The Nocturne — as he tracks a pirate ship for blood, tech, and secrets.

Tonight’s haul should be routine: fang, drain, burn the evidence. Instead he smells two things he’s never been able to ignore: Ancient trench-magic pulsing beneath the waves, and Dr. Isla Hart, a stubborn scientist with research he needs.

Pirates will bleed, a kraken-sized mystery will stir, and one vampire will break protocol to keep a woman he should have killed.

Expect:
Banter sharp enough to cut rigging.
Velvet-lined violence (low-spice, high-blood).
The moment Sebastian decides Isla is a problem, snack, and future obsession.

Love gothic vibes, abyssal monsters, and enemies who flirt with their fangs out? Grab this quick, deadly appetizer.

Power corrupts. Faith divides. Blood remembers.
England, 1553 – A Kingdom on the Brink of Chaos

As King Edward VI lies dying, the question of succession threatens to plunge England into civil war. Amid the storm of political intrigue and religious tension, Richard Fitzwarren — former nobleman, disgraced soldier, and mercenary for hire — is summoned from exile. His mission: to protect Princess Elizabeth and serve the interests of those who would see her crowned.

But Richard has his own reasons for returning. Revenge runs deeper than duty, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Loyalty Has a Price — and Spies Always Pay
With every step, Richard is drawn deeper into a shadow world of secrets and betrayal. From the back alleys of London to the corridors of power, danger waits in every corner. Trusted allies may be traitors. Friends wear masks. And when the fate of a future queen hangs in the balance, one wrong move could mean death.

As the crown teeters and the knives come out, Richard must choose: serve the cause — or save himself.

Tacos and True Love (Taylor Thursdays at Cornelia’s)
by Chris Candie
4.7 Stars (8 Reviews)

FREE for a limited time

Evie Donovan is in Austin for one thing only: to write a brutal restaurant exposé and get the hell out of town before anyone makes her sing karaoke. ??

Evie Donovan has rules.

• No karaoke?

• No eating food served from a truck

• No falling for a guy who makes tacos taste like they’re love letters?????

But then, she walks into Cornelia’s Bar on Taylor Thursday — and everything changes.

One bite of bulgogi taco, one Blue Hour cocktail, and one unexpected karaoke performance later, and she’s breaking all three.??

Evie’s in Austin to write a restaurant exposé — not to crush on a man who serves kimchi fries with a side of vulnerability. But the more she tries to keep things “professional,” the more her notes start sounding suspiciously like a love story.

When this charming fusion food truck chef turns her love life from Sold Out to Slow Burn, they promise each other a temporary flirtation, not true love forever.

But some recipes are doomed to fail — and taste better for it!
