Two Kindle Freebies!

One a cookbook and one a drama!

Since tomorrow is Independence Day here in the states --- how many of you have been invited to BBQs and potlucks and haven’t decided WHAT to bring yet?

I love recipes – and flipping through them always gets me inspired to try something new.

What Can I Bring? Cookbook by Anne Byrn is free in the Amazon Kindle Store.

Genre: Cookbooks

Potlucks and picnics, dinner parties and church socials, fundraisers, toasts to the teacher, reunions, cookouts—it’s the busy age of shared meals, which means with every invitation comes the question: “What can I bring?”

Anne Byrn, an inspired cook, problem solver, and bestselling author of The Cake Mix Doctor cookbook and other books with over 2.6 million copies in print, knows exactly how to answer the question. Cutting through menu block—a condition familiar to everyone who cooks—here are over 200 delicious suggestions for crowd-pleasing food that’s designed to travel.

And while you’ve got something good cooking up ----head on over and download this one:


Best Staged Plans by Claire Cook is also free tonight in the Amazon Kindle Store!

Genre: Contemporary Fiction

As a professional home stager, Sandy Sullivan is an expert at transforming cluttered rooms into attractive houses ready for sale.

If only reinventing her life were as easy as choosing the perfect paint color. She’s eager to put her family’s suburban Boston home on the market, to downsize, and to simplify her own life.

But she must first deal with her foot-dragging husband and her grown son, who has moved back home after college to inhabit the basement “bat cave.”

After reading them the riot act, Sandy takes a job staging a boutique hotel in Atlanta recently acquired by her best friend’s boyfriend. The good news is that she can spend time with her recently married daughter, Shannon, in Atlanta.

The bad news is that Shannon finds herself heading to Boston for job training, leaving Sandy and her southern son-in-law, Chance, as reluctant roommates. If that’s not complicated enough, Sandy begins to suspect that her best friend’s boyfriend may be seeing another woman on the side.

Filled with characters who are fresh and original, yet recognizable enough to live in your neighborhood—plus plenty of great tips and tricks for fixing up houses, and lives—this is a wise and witty story of letting go and moving on. Best Staged Plans is Claire Cook at her most humorous and heartfelt.


Be sure to double check that they are still free when you go to purchase!

And since we are talking about books --- here's MY status update:

I started out with 20 cases of books on my doorstep the day the UPS guy dropped them off. I’ve gone through 11 of them, and am digging into the 12th. I just placed an order for 20 cases more which will be waiting for me when I get back from Oregon.

I’m still packing orders like crazy ----I have a feeling it’s going to be pizza delivery for dinner tonight because this girl has command of the dining room table and I am not stepping away from it to cook anything!

My alarm is set for 4:45am --- need to get up and get a shower and get to the airport by 5:15 am for my 6:20 flight ---

That means a forced bedtime for me at 10pm --- I’ll keep filling orders until curfew time!

Have a good evening, everyone!

I just checked Amazon and neither are free anymore. They sure change things fast there! I did go ahead and buy the cookbook and perfect timing as I don't have a clue what to bring to a cookout tomorrow. Be careful traveling tomorrow and have fun seeing your family!

After the kiro, you are supposed to take it easy, to help your body.

I think you deserve a break for tonight...

Have a nice and safe trip,

I just looked on Amazon and neither book is free at the moment - will try to remember to check back later - hopefully I didn't miss the opportunity.

One isn't available in Australia and the other is no longer free... although it certainly was cheap. Never mind. Another time

I'm with you on that Civil War quilt. The quilting is terific. It should have had a blue ribbon.
How nice that you are able to met up with your son to travel on to the rerunion. Enjoy the cooler temps up there.
