Welcome to Friday Finds, 10-25-2024. I hope you've had a wonderful week. I'm continually looking at numbers and stats to see where my best engagement is coming from on the blog and the newsletter. I'm compiling a list of features I can devote my time and resources to. Like everyone these days, I need to get the most bang for my buck! Hopefully, I can make some adjustments by the new year. All other announcements will be at the close of this email. This week's website edition features:
Weekly Friday Finds | 10-25-2024 | Trivia Time Here's this week's trivia question: What condiment was used for its medicinal qualities in the 1800s? The answer to last week’s question: Stephen King said, “Books are a uniquely portable magic.” King has said that he carries books with him wherever he goes and listens to them in the car. He has also said that books are as important to him as anything else he might pack. Weekly Friday Finds |10-25-2024 | Indie Authors/BBNYA I'm spotlighting one BBNYA semifinalist every day until Dec 4, 2024! (All 59 of them!) I decided to give them a separate section in the Friday Finds for now. These Independent Authors deserve kudos for outstanding books in all genres. Click here to see this week's winners! Here is another Indie Author pick for Spooky Season! It’s Halloween, and Cassie and Tessa find themselves knee-deep in a murder mystery when two skeletons are discovered. Weekly Friday Finds | 10-25-2024 | Books What are you reading this week? Here is one that caught my eye this week. Featuring an exclusive, never-before-heard piece of music, the last written together by the legendary Van Halen brothers! (This is why I am opting for the audiobook!) In this intimate and open account—nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read—Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music, and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and bandmate. Weekly Friday Finds |10-25-2024 | Recipes Several people commented that they tried the Reuben Casserole from last week's Friday Finds and loved it! While most folks make their cake pops from crumbled cake, check out this simple hack to make these the easiest cake pops...evaah!
