Time for a little summer fun . . . and, of course, here at Bethany House that usually involves books! Join us for a scavenger hunt through Jody Hedlund’s blog tour. She has been stopping by blogs far and wide, commenting about her inspiration for writing novels, giving sneak peeks at Captured by Love, and sharing about the care and keeping of unruly chickens.

If you haven’t been keeping up with the tour, now’s your chance to take a look. And here’s another reason to join the fun: want a chance to win Captured by Love? Here’s how:
