Weekend Book Buzz – 24/25 August 2019

Posted 25 August 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! This time next week, it will officially be spring here in Australia. Yipeeeeee! (I’m not a winter girl, in case you haven’t picked that up.) We’ve already been getting a taste of some warmer days here, so I’m looking forward to that continuing, but most of all, I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to windy weather. August is always such a windy month here, and I’m tired of getting static electricity charges every time I get in or out of the car! Do you have a windy month where you live?
