Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! We had a couple of super windy days here this week, which means my kids have struggled to focus ALL WEEK. Difficult enough as a mum, but as a homeschooling mum? Yeah, I was ready for the weekend. ☺
With the beginning of June, we’re also officially in winter here in Australia, although the weather seems to have been off by a week, because it suddenly got REALLY cold about a week ago. I fully realise that my version of really cold is probably a little different to other people’s versions of REALLY cold, considering we don’t even get snow where I live, but I still think it’s the perfect excuse to snuggle up somewhere warm with a good book. What do you think? How was your week?
