The price seems to go up every year! Maybe every month. Monday, after feeling guilty about all the treats I indulged in over the weekend, I decided I would start jumping rope. I considered doing it daily, but I don’t want to scare myself off with such a commitment. Monday was also the day we put the trash cans out, so I felt the need to get my money’s worth and fill up the yard waste bin. I went overboard, as I often do, and filled not only my bin, but my neighbor’s bin as well. On Tuesday I felt it in my back, legs, and my left pinky toe. Today I feel it just about everywhere else. My whole body hurts, and I can barely move. Yes, I may have gone a little overboard on Monday, but the punishment does not fit the crime. I can honestly say that exercise makes me feel awful, and it gets harder and harder to recover each year. I am going to jump rope again today, and I won’t eat that bag of cookies, but I never want to hear from anyone that exercise makes you feel good. BLEGH!

But in just under twelve months everything has gone wrong. Nursing a broken heart, single mother Paige returns to her childhood home in a picture-perfect Scottish village to try and get her life together.

The Cherokee (Native American History)
by Hourly History
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
For many generations, the Aniyunwiya (meaning the “real people” or “principal people”) lived in harmony with the land they inhabited. They worshipped their ancestors and believed that every living thing — people, animals, trees, and plants — had a spirit and an important place in the world. Then, strangers arrived from lands far to the east. They brought with them new weapons and technologies, new diseases, a new religion, and a very different approach to the land and the animals and people who lived there. They even called the Aniyunwiya by a new name: the Cherokee.
This is the story of the Cherokee people, their history, culture, and beliefs, and what happened to them before and after they first encountered European explorers.

Sometimes building a future requires changing the past.
An unexpected and enchanting blend of light science fiction and contemporary romance, A Million Tomorrows follows Dr. Perry Roberts and Beverly Bowen as they race against the unrelenting persistence of time.
“So, it’s not exactly time travel… ” Lucian said. And it wasn’t… exactly.
But Lucian Phanes’ revolutionary research might just be Dr. Perry Roberts’ only hope to repair his haunting past and build an actual future.
There is something special about Beverly Bowen that Dr. Roberts can’t verbalize, or even understand. Yet, he feels an almost supernatural pull toward her, and the feeling is mutual. The budding romance raises eyebrows even among Perry’s closest friends. How can he envision a future with Beverly when her life hangs by a thread?
Yet, as Lucian’s top-secret research begins to blur the lines between past, present, and future, hope — as scarce and fragile as it might be — begins to bubble under the surface.
If only there is enough time before the government and Beverly herself shatter that fragile hope.
