Are You a Bookworm?

Even when I was at a young age, as a teenager all the way up till now I have always loved to read. I think my mother instilled that in me. I always saw her reading V.C Andrews & Danielle Steele. I have read both of those authors as well.

Back in Ohio I had my own personal library, I got all my books either from Half Priced Books or the thrift store. Now since moving to VA and currently living in a camper my books are gone BUT I have started my own digital library & to boot most of my books are FREE!!! Yes you read that right FREE!!!

I have found several sites thanks to scrolling through Facebook that email you cheap & even FREE books you can download. My library is extensive again and I enjoy reading them when I can.

I wanted to pass on my 2 favorite sites

Book Bub

The Fussy Librarian

Each site sends you an email every day with Free to cheap books to read, sometimes you know the authors well and maybe some you’ve never heard of. I have found some amazing books here and just wanted to spread the love for books along.

Enjoy 😁

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
