Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 09-30-2022

HAPPY FRIDAY AND I’M BACK!! It was a crazy storm (and completely devastated some areas nearby which freaks me out). We had some fence damage (we were able to put it back together) and definitely plenty of roof damage, but luckily that’s already on the list to fix and in progress.

Best of all, nothing worse than that, on my street (mostly everyone had roof damage and a few downed trees). No flooding which was making me super-nervous!!!!!

P.S. YAY OCTOBER & HALLOWEEN SEASON!! I’m so excited that the Holiday season has just kicked into gear!!

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE FOUND FOR THE WEEKEND  !!

• Slapshot: A Seattle Sockeyes Novel (The Scoring Series Book 8) by Jami Davenport <— LIVE!! BOTH DAMAGED!! “…After my mother’s tragic death, I’ve lashed out and driven away everyone who ever cared about me. The pain is so great, I feel I don’t deserve friendship or love. Along comes Bryce. We’re kindred spirits. He’s as damaged as I am. Out of our grief, something special begins to sprout, but our tendency to destroy anything good in our lives threatens the best thing that’s ever happened to us. Only Bryce refuses to give up while I’m finding old habits die hard. Barricading my heart is easier than taking the risk of being hurt again…”
