Hello my friend,

The 10 October 2025 Friday Finds is live and packed with cozy goodness! This week we’re spotlighting indie author R.J. Gould, sharing free & Kindle Unlimited reads, stirring up a hearty pasta fagioli, and kicking off The Woolery’s 12 Fiber Gifts of Christmas with a fun crochet kit sale and giveaway.

Here’s what’s inside

About last week’s missing email

I tested not sending an email last week to see who would visit on their own or subscribe for post notifications. If you didn’t get an email, it’s likely you’re on my newsletter list but not subscribed to blog post alerts. The new program I am considering will give you the option to get every post notice or just the Friday Finds. Is that something you would be interested in? I never want to wear out my welcome!

👉 Subscribe to blog post notifications so you never miss Friday Finds, indie author spotlights, giveaways, recipes, or crafts.

As always, sharing the post or leaving a quick comment really helps. If you’d like to support the blog, you can buy me a Ko-fi — thank you!

See you next Friday,

— Gina

P.S. Entries for this month’s Fun Time Giveaway close Oct 30 at 9:00 p.m. CST. Winner announced Nov 7, 2025.
