If you have any bookish news you would like to see in future editions of the Weekend Book Buzz, I’d love to hear from you!
I’m afraid I missed out on ‘A Daring Escape’ by Tricia Goyer. I meant to request it on NetGalley just after Christmas, but it disappeared and was archived shortly afterward. Will have to wait for it to go on sale or see if my library will get it.
