Save Money and Save Lives: Maddy’s Gem of the Week and What to Read Next

GEM OF THE WEEK: A Bracelet to Save Lives

I recently received a delicate and inspirational “Unlock Your Dreams” bracelet and was charmed by the jewelry and the messages behind it. I say messages because it is not only inspirational in what the bracelet represents, but also in what the bracelet does – help fight human trafficking. This dainty bracelet on an adjustable link is part of the “Freedom Bracelet Collection” designed by Marina De Buchi. Consider buying one for yourself and more for gifts, because 10% of every sale supports the A21 Campaign. Get your bracelet or another from the collection here.

The A21 Campaign describes themselves as the ‘new abolitionists.” They are a non-profit organization working to rescue human beings throughout the world from bondage, by freeing those being trafficked and disrupting the demand.

Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry. Children are forced to serve in armies; people are sold into the lucrative sex trafficking industry. Others become forced or bonded labor workers. The problem exists worldwide. Sadly, only 1% of these people are ever rescued.

Help increase those odds and own a lovely bracelet in the process. Or purchase a number of other products that promote and support A21 here. Not in a shopping mood? Find out how you can do more or donate directly to The A21 Campaign at www.A21.org.

WHAT TO READ NEXT: Save on The Walsh Brothers Series

If you follow this blog at all, you know that I am a huge fan of Kate Canterbary and her Walsh Brothers Series. Kate’s plotlines are clever and unique, her characters are people you would honestly choose to befriend and she is funny – irreverently funny. Did I mention hot? We’re talking “oh-my, need to fan myself and more” hot. I don’t know about you, but to me, that makes for a great read, or two, or eight.

So how excited was I to find a FOUR-DAY-ONLY sale on her Walsh Brothers trilogy? There are eight books in the full Walsh Family Series, and for four-days the first three books are on sale. Its the perfect opportunity to get started.

If you have not met this family of brilliant architects who happen to be sexy men with one hot-blooded redhead for a sister, you have really been missing out. Each story is wry and smart, a page-turner you won’t want to put down. The author’s attention to detail gives the background of an architectural firm substance around which the characters can behave in their own idiosyncratic ways. You will love these people. You will love these books. You will love this bargain price. Trust me.

I lost more than a week, unable to do anything but keep my nose buried in this eight-book series. Consider yourself warned!

Find the sale exclusively on Amazon US and Canada only through June 1.
