This review is posted as a part of TLC’s book tour for The Heart Between Us. ~ About the Book ~ Megan Jacobs always wished for a different heart.

Top Ten Tuesday – Ten Countries I've Visited Through Books

Happy Tuesday! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic made me laugh: Books that Take Place in Another Country. Since I live in Australia, almost every book I read takes place in another country. 😄 So I’ve decided to tweak the topic a little and share ten different countries I have visited in books.

Weekend Book Buzz – 10/11 June 2017

Greetings from Melbourne, book lovers! It is much colder here, 1,000km south of our home, but we have been blessed with beautiful sunshine for the most part, even if there’s a definite chill in the air. Of course, being on holidays has meant less time for blogging this week, and you will notice there’s been less happening around here, but I have still been having some bookish fun, especially meeting up with Rel from Relz Reviewz at Koorong, Australia’s largest Christian bookseller:
