I’m trying to fight my sleepy eyes over here because I fear that if I close my laptop, I will lose my planned list for this post. What I did here is I went to my oldest books on my Kindle. In this case, the books I got in 2015, so it feels like a lifetime ago, but here I’m catching two birds with one stone, since if you were reading at the start of 2026, you might remember that one of my reading goals is to make a priority of books that have been sitting on there for more than a decade. This post is some extra encouragement.

A small southern town, an old family secret, a man who has to change his life or risk losing his daughter and a woman who wants to help them all without losing her mind – little does she know she’s about to lose her heart. Dixie is in deep and it’s the best thing that ever happened to her.

Hi, there! Would YOU like to take a peek in my diary?
Wait, we haven’t been introduced. My name is Fern, and by some wonderful stroke of good luck, I live in the beautiful, tropical Florida Keys.
My life is wacky, often wild, and always entertaining. From my love-hate relationship with the book, The Secret, to my encounters with cursing parrots and skittering crabs, the summations of my offbeat life will make you laugh right along with me.
It is a particularly exciting year because I finally meet the man of my dreams! Or is he?

Small-town biz wiz Jill Hale has been in love with her childhood best friend Brian McConnell for as long as she can remember.

She’s convinced that starting a restaurant together will be the perfect win-win situation, allowing her and Brian to work together and play together.
After a series of missteps sliced and diced Brian’s career in the Big Apple, he came home to regroup and find himself.

And when she approaches him with her plan for going into business together, he’s certain it’s the one way he can have it all-his dream job and his dream girl.
Jill and Brian are falling for each other all over again when Brian’s ex sashays into town, intent on sabotaging their reunion. Add in a mysterious investor who’s determined to get Jill on board with his project, and the bond between the couple is tested to the limit. Will their second chance at love implode, or will they find their own recipe for a happy ending?
