First Line Friday – The Ways We Fall Apart (Christina Coryell) – 12 October 2018

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! The book I’m featuring for you today is next up on my TBR, and I have to say, I’m a little nervous about it. I absolutely adore Christina Coryell’s Camdyn Taylor series, and now she’s returning to those characters with a brand new series: The Parker Tales. Only problem is, a title like The Ways We Fall Apart kind of hints that it’s going to be an emotional ride for these characters I love!

Weekend Book Buzz – 29/30 September 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! I don’t know about you, but this week took me by storm. I’ve reached the weekend flopped on my back and panting, just relieved to have made it through relatively unscathed, if rather brain-scrambled. But praise God for his blessings amidst it all!
