Weekend Book Buzz – 5/6 August 2017

Many apologies for the late edition of this week’s Book Buzz. Life has definitely been throwing me some curve balls lately, but there is such a lot of great news to buzz about that I figured it was a case of ‘better late than never’. It’s a new month, with new ebook bargains, some great pre-order deals, some exciting new releases, and a whole lot more besides, so let’s get buzzing!

I have heard many people commenting along the lines of ‘I’ll never read that book,’

Top Ten Tuesday – Favourite ‘Hate to Love’ Romances

Whew! I wasn’t sure I was going to make it to a Top Ten Tuesday post this week. After a week of intensive editing, I’ve got a whole lot of reviews to catch up on (not to mention housework…) But it’s Valentine’s Day, and the topic today from the girls at The Broke and The Bookish is a ‘pick-your-own-romance-trope-and-run-with-it’ kind of day. How could I resist?
