Emily Rachelle Writes

Good morning, my lovely readers! According to the calendars, spring has been upon us for nearly a month now. But ask anyone who's spent any time in Indiana, and they'll agree: spring is an elusive and mysterious creature here. So I don't think it's too late to do a little spring cleaning. I've got a lot of big life changes coming up. In the next few months, I'll be graduating college and hopefully starting a new job. In preparation for these big life changes, I've been combing through my belongings and weeding out stuff I no longer want or need. Most of it has been thrown out or donated to a local secondhand store, but there are a few nicer items I've decided to save for you! The Prizes I have five prize packs for five winners.

Maybe I should give the organic, all-natural movement a second look, because dang, this stuff really works .

Hello, my lovely readers! This month has turned out to be quite literary for me. Today we have an old friend of mine, Rachelle Rea (now Cobb!), here to celebrate the birthday of the last book in her Steadfast Love  series. (If you want, you can re-read my review of the first book of the series,  The Sound of Diamonds . ) About the Series In 16th-century Europe, the Reformation rages between Protestants and Catholics. Gwyneth, half-Dutch, flees from England to Holland to escape the man who murdered her parents. When he follows her there and insists he came to rescue her, will she trust this man called Dirk? When tragedy strikes, will their steadfast love erode? About the Author Times gone by snatch Rachelle Rea Cobb close, so she reads and writes about years long ago--her passions include the Reformation, Revolutions, and romance. Rachelle wrote the Steadfast Love series during college. Five months after she graduated, she signed a three-...
