Weekend Book Buzz – 17/18 November 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! The end of the year seems to be closing in very quickly, doesn’t it? It does to me, anyway! It doesn’t help that the days where we are just north of Sydney, Australia, are becoming warm and sunny and it’s beginning to feel like summer holidays.

The Tory's Daughter (Angela K. Couch) – Review

~ About the Book ~ Burying his wife is the hardest thing Joseph Garnet has ever done—until he’s called to leave his young son and baby daughter to fight Iroquois raiders.

A Holiday by Gaslight (Mimi Matthews) – Review
