Weekend Book Buzz – 15/16 June 2019

Posted 16 June 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! It’s been quite the week at our house this week—let’s just say I’m glad it’s over! Unfortunately, I’m still dealing with some lingering website problems, only one of the issues that attacked me this week. Grrr! The biggest lingering issue is that I lost most of the content on my new release pages. 🙁 I’ve managed to get the June page back up, but you’re going to have to bear with me while I work to get the others back up. *sigh*

I’m hoping you had a much better week than I did!
