The power of fiction, the beauty of words, and the God who made us to wield them for His glory.

Weekend Book Buzz – 6/7 April 2019

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, and a big hello to all my friends who attended the Christian Fiction Reader’s Retreat yesterday. My Facebook feed has been full of photos all weekend, and the only thing that would have been better would be being there myself. But I have been promising myself CFRR2020 for a few years now, so I’m hoping next year will be my year!

Weekend Book Buzz – 30/31 March 2019

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz. It’s taken most of March, but I think it’s safe to say autumn has arrived here in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. One of the things about living in Australia, though, is that the minute the weather turns a little bit cooler, the kids think it’s “freezing” and out come the gloves and the beanies and the scarves etc…

Weekend Book Buzz – 16/17 February 2019

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz. It’s been a much busier week on my blog this week. You’ll notice I got those reviews done that I mentioned last week—seven, all up, thanks to my Fast Five Review Roundup! There are just so many…

Weekend Book Buzz – 15/16 December 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! It’s been a busy week here, including a significant birthday for yours truly! Hence you may have noticed slightly less activity around here this week. It’s that time of year when we’re all busy preparing for family visits, present shopping, and a million other little things, isn’t it? And I’m busy working on something that I hope will be ready for you by 1 January 2019. How’s that for a teaser?! What’s keeping you busy as Christmas draws closer? Or are you already organised? 😲 (Please share your secret!)

Weekend Book Buzz – 8/9 December 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! You know it’s nearly the end of the year when the ballet concert is all over for another year. And guess what? Our ballet concert was yesterday. It’s always such a rewarding day, seeing all the year’s hard work come together in yet another fantastic concert, but then there’s that sense of, “Oh. Ballet’s over for the year. Christmas is getting really close!” Is there something that happens each year that says “Christmas is really close” to you?

Weekend Book Buzz – 1/2 December 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! And welcome to . . . December. Ack! How did it get here so quickly? Although, I can officially say I’ve started Christmas shopping. That’s a good sign, isn’t it? Of course, if I could just give everyone I know books for Christmas, that would be easy! 😉 Do you give books for Christmas? If you do, you’ll find plenty of ideas here!

Weekend Book Buzz – 24/25 November 2018

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! It’s been quite a weekend here, with the men-folk of the house away for the weekend to attend a 90th birthday celebration, while the girls stayed at home to attend the dress rehearsal for the end-of-year ballet concert. Three ballet girls, seven costumes, five hours rehearsing… I think we all know who’s going to sleep well tonight! Perhaps your weekend was a little more relaxing!

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 kids are itching to go outside and play rather than do their school work, and there’s a part of me that doesn’t blame them! But we have a few weeks of school left yet, and plenty more bookish news to come for the year, so let’s get
