Posted 12 August 2018 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction, New Releases / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! It’s been a busy book week for me, as you’ll see from the reviews posted below, so I hope you’re looking for a good book to read. We’re also getting definite hints that spring is on the way, with some lovely sunny days this week. There’s nothing quite like the warmth of the sun!

Have you read a great book this week? I’d love to hear about it!

~ Events ~

Last week I mentioned two release parties that were taking place on 14 August 2018. This week, I’m amending that. Only one of these parties will now be held on 14 August 2018, and that’s the party for Robin Carroll’s Darkwater Secrets. It starts at 7pm CST, and you can go to the event page by clicking on the graphic below.

Celebrate ‘Back to School’ with a book bash! Plenty of giveaways! This Facebook party will take place on 16 August 2018 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm CDT. Click on the graphic to go to the event page.

If you put 14 August 2018 in your diary last week for Ronie Kendig and Lynette Eason’s release party, then this is your official notification to change the date! To avoid conflicting with Robin Carroll’s release party, this party will now take place on 21 August 2018 from 7pm EST. There’s no link yet, but stay tuned!
