August: I’m going to pick you up!
August 1, 2018

August Giveaway is a Samsonite tote and seven other special surprises

Hey there! Can you believe August is here? And I couldn’t resist the pun of “picking you up” and the giveaway being a tote bag. You know, you pick stuff up and carry it in the tote. Okay, I’m a nerd. We all know it now. LOL And yet, we’re still friends.

I love reading your comments in the blog. I do try to answer every single one because your words are important to me. And thank you so much for those who drop me a note via email and let me know what’s going on in your world. I like hearing the laughs and the tears that make up life. And as Eloisa  James told me, “Romance teaches us about life.”

Please help me spread the word about LETTERS from Linda and invite your friends to sign up, right here at my website.

The August newsletter is about to be sent out. I can’t wait to read all of your comments for August.

I’m very excited about this month’s giveaway. I love surprises. Do you? If you’re a newsletter subscriber, then you know where to find the instructions about how to win this brand new Samsonite tote bag and seven other surprise items. It will be like Christmas comes to you. Only in August. Well, September because that’s when the winner is announced. But you know that already because you’re a faithful subscriber.

And see the puppy in the picture? He was a gift from Susan Jackson. I’ve been calling him Puppy. She refers to him as Puppy. But I think it’s time he gets a name–maybe that will be the game for the giveaway for September.

I’m so enjoying The Summer Girls by Mary Alice Monroe. I’m on the third and final book of the trilogy. And as we are moving to the end of summer, so is the book. I can’t wait to find out what Dora, Carson, and Harper have in store for their darling grandmother.

Thank you for your continued support.

And stay tuned for more news about Christmas in Jubilee.

Happy Reading,

Linda Joyce

    I’m so sorry it’s a long one it’s from Jane Austen’s Persuasion and it’s my favorite, it’s the letter from Wentworth to Anne.
    “I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in
    F. W.
    I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your father’s house this evening or never.
