Happy October 2022!

October already? It’s like I’m “falling” into this month trying to put my brakes on, ha! It feels like just yesterday I was telling you about my projects in September. In case you missed it, you can check it out here. ► Updates, News and More at Books by Rose September 2022

This month has already been a busy one, too. Read on to find out more…

Support Business Saturday Shout Outs

If you follow my “Books by Rose” Facebook page, you’ve seen I’ve started something new. I didn’t know it was going to get so big by just sharing one post, but it took off.

What I’m doing is a “Support Business Saturday Day” shout out to business pages to friends and people I’ve connected with over the years. I can’t tell you how fun this has been and it’s been wonderful meeting other business owners, as well. I’ve decided I will now do this until December 24, 2022, the last Saturday in December.

If you have a business page and would like to be added, please write me a note or give me a shout out on Facebook. On Saturdays, you will see this image, or something like it with these words. I’ll change the image in November and will make a new one for December.

I tag 5 business pages each Saturday. (This is the October image I’m using now.)

Jazzy News by Sonja McGiboney

When I read my email this morning, I saw a really cool project my author friend is doing and I just had to share with you all.

Author Sonja McGiboney, with “Jazzy’s Books,” is letting young writers become a part of Jazzy’s Journal.

Celebrating a Special Day

My husband and I are going to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary at the end of this month. Since we dated 6 years to the day we were married, that makes us come up to 50 years together!! I wouldn’t change a thing these past years. We have been blessed with two wonderful sons and two grandchildren.

My next “work in progress” is coming along and close to getting finished. I can’t tell you too much yet, but it’s an Early Reader. I can tell you these two things so far…

  1. I’m waiting for the person this book is dedicated to, to get back to me with a few jokes, which will be on page 13. (The jokes will be only on this one page.)
  2. This book will be more suited for spring and summer, so you probably won’t hear me talking about it until after the holidays.

Halloween

I have to be honest, Halloween is not a big day at our house like it was when our sons were growing up. Yes, we still put candy out for the kids who trick-or-treat and decorate a little bit. (I’ve always wanted to call it, “Happy Pumpkin Day.)

The past two years, we have set out individually wrapped candies in a bowl by our Little Free Library. I try and find fall and Halloween themed books to add to our bowl, too. We’ve been very lucky how respectful our families have been with this new concept. (Thank you neighbors!)

Halloween Greetings

Last, But Not Least…
