always just commonly

As one of the co-founders (Stewards) of the Christian Fiction Readers' Retreat, I'm so excited to announce that the  Readers'  registration opens today , starting at 11:00 AM EST on the " 2019 Registration " Tab on the top. (Despite what the image above says. It will be live at 11:00 AM EST.) Also, Venue & Lodging information is also up. Room blocks for CFRR 2019 is quickly filling up.  Remember to reserve a room to be certain you're all set! Just as a simple reminder, last year both Author and Reader registration sold out before end of registration period, with author registration full within 36 hours of opening. If you plan on attending, I would not delay. - If it IS sold out when you attempt to sign up, contact Annie or Carrie to be placed on the author or reader waiting list. Thank you, and looking forward to 2019 CFRR! Thank you for reading my posts. For full blog information and links to giveaways, head over to the blog: ht...
