KindleUnlimited or Scribd – Which is Better for Christian Fiction Fans?
It’s no secret that I love to read. When I first started reading/reviewing Christian fiction over 10 years ago, my options for obtaining books were the library, the bookstore, receiving review copies from the author and/or publisher (both print and eBooks), and eBooks from Amazon.

Since that time, books are more widely obtainable, and I’ve since discovered two monthly subscriptions that make even more books available to me. There are pros and cons to both platforms, and while there is one that I LOVE more than the other, I still find both to be valuable enough to…

Jewelry Stories from Finders Keepers
I am thrilled to be here with you twice in one week for another edition of Jewelry Stories! Today, we have a very special guest – Sarah Monzon, the author of Finders Keepers! I found this gem of a book by chance through my Kindle Unlimited subscription, and I loved it! Not only is it a split time novel (my fave!), but the romance and chemistry between Trent and Sarah is electric. I can highly recommend it! There were a couple of jewelry references in Finders Keepers, and one in particular that I really wanted more details on. Sarah not only answered some of my questions about it, but sent…
