Moving Right Along Weekly Link Round-Up

No exposition from me this week. I'm just going to send blessings and a few links your way while I go back to cooking and baking. Hit of this Christmas season? The Creme de Menthe Cheesecake cookies I made. Someone else who lives here in Casa Kittling sure wishes I'd bake a few more batches of those! All the best to you and yours wherever you may be!

Recommended eBook Bargains

I found these for Kindle, but if you have a Nook, double check Barnes and Noble prices. Usually if one company has special prices on certain eBook titles, they all do. However, I do not know how long these special prices will last.
