Top Ten Tuesday – Books On My Winter (In Other Words, Summer) TBR

Hello, reader friends. We’re just two days away from Summer here in Australia, so while the girls at The Broke and the Bookish have nominated ‘Books on my Winter TBR’ for today’s Top Ten topic, I will, of course, be giving you the books that I’ll be reading over the glorious (and, let’s face it, sometimes stinking hot!) days of the Australian summer. Not that it makes much difference to the books that will actually be on my list, but . . . you know. Just so you’re all picturing sunshine instead of snow. 🙂

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:
