Heather Gudenkauf’s debut book, The Weight of Silence, goes on sale in bookstores beginning July 28, but you can request a free advance reader’s copy now, while supplies last.
About The Weight of Silence:
It happens quietly one August morning. As dawn’s shimmering light drenches the humid Iowa air, two families awaken to find their little girls have gone missing in the night.
Seven-year-old Calli Clark is sweet, gentle, a dreamer who suffers from selective mutism brought on by a tragedy that pulled her deep into silence as a toddler. Petra Gregory is Calli’s best friend, her soul mate and her voice. But neither Petra or Calli has been heard from since their disappearance was discovered.
Now these families are tied by the question of what happened to their children. And the answer is trapped in the silence of unspoken family secrets.
The Mainstream Bible Outreach Society is giving away free copies of the Bible’s New Testament to anyone who requests one (within the United States). I recommend the entire book, but the New Testament is better than Neither Testament!

Thanks, Barbara – great roadtrip entertainment! Download the audio version of the “Marley & Me” book that inspired the best-selling movie, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston.
About “Marley & Me” from Garmin & Audible:
John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wriggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.
Marley quickly grew into a barreling, 97-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women’s undergarments. Obedience school did no good, Marley was expelled.
And yet his heart was pure. Just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. A dog like no other, Marley remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit’s end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.
For our teen readers (including one amazing teenage girl whose dream bedroom is a library 
), the Hachette Book Group’s “Hip Scouts” is an advance reader program that allows teenagers to receive and review free Young Adult books before they’ve been released.
Not me – I swear it’s not me! My first job was as a “Mervyn’s Gift-Wrapping Associate”, so I swear it’s NOT ME! But, alas, this time around, it doesn’t pay to be a good gift wrapper 
. Bowdabra® is running a contest through October 31st to find the WORST gift wrapper in America. Prizes will be awarded to several lucky winners, but as a consolation prize for even having the ability to enter, Bowdabra® is also giving away a free gift wrapping eBook to everyone who enters.
For those of you who boast awesome wrapping skills, you can access two free Fall Decorating eBooks (retail value: $14.99 each) without having to enter the contest. Obviously, the eBooks are offered as a marketing tool for the Bowdabra, but many of the projects can be completed without one. (I really liked the candy-filled jelly jar place setting idea, and to be honest, the Bowdabra® does look like a time-saving alternative to crafting your own bows, and to be even MORE honest…none of my bows are as elaborate as some of those shown on the Bowdabra website!)
Not to get off-topic, but thanks to Sarah, seamstress and hobbyist EXTRAORDINAIRE, for passing along this information! The next time you’re in a creative mood…go check out the Crafts section on her website. She has some excellent ideas (with step by step instructions) for crafts, gifts, decorations, and jewelry! Some of her ideas are nothing short of genius (who ever would have thought of using old coffee mug handles, decorated with large beads or buttons to make…drapery tie-backs?!)
Okay, onto the fun with the Worst Gift Wrapper in America (which, I guarantee…is not Sarah either! After spending an hour on her website…maybe I DO qualify for this contest!)
