On the blog this week, we’re talking about the pause the refreshes. Because the blog will go on hiatus for most of July, I’m also doing a give-away this week: A $100 e-gift card for the Vera Bradley on-line store. Tell about your perfect recharging day here.

And speaking of perfection, A Gentleman of Unreliable Honor has its final cover, and it’s soooo pretty. I love Lord Julian’s covers, because I get to find all the little objects that resonate with that specific story, and then watch as Cracked Light Studio and Wax Creative Design do their cover creation magic. Take a peek here.

If you have travel coming up over the long weekend (or if you don’t), you might want to grab a couple of cheap (but classy!!!) dukes from the web store. A Duke Walked Into a House Party is discounted for the month of July to $.99. Web store ordering page is here.
