new coming this weekHi everyone! I hope you had a great week!

So this week is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and it is kind of the unofficial start to the holidays. Chanukah is early this year (it’s on a lunar calendar so it changes every year) and I have realized I am totally and completely unprepared. Yikes, better get to shopping!

As a reminder, for those of you who will be Black Friday shopping this weekend, we’d love your support here at Joyfully Jay. If you follow this link to Amazon (or any of our book links, or the link in the sidebar widget), Joyfully Jay will get a small referral fee, even if you don’t buy books.

Despite the holiday, we will still be pretty busy this week. I wanted to give you all a heads up about a post scheduled for Friday. As many of you know, our good friend author Ethan Day passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last week. I realized that not only had Ethan scheduled a guest post with me for this week, but before he passed, he actually sent me the post to run. At this point, I am really not sure what I’m going to do for that spot. I have the post, but honestly, I haven’t emotionally been able to bring myself to to even read it. Things are just too raw still every time I even think about him. At the same time, part of me really likes the idea of being able to read and share some of Ethan’s last words about a series he loved (as did many of us). Or I may just share some thoughts about Ethan and highlight some of his books. I’m really not sure how to best handle this. So I’m still figuring it out, but just wanted you all to know what was going on so no one wondered when they saw the post listed for later this week.

Ok, so like I said, lots going on. Here is what we have planned…
