Weekend Book Buzz – 16/17 March 2019

Posted 17 March 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz. I hope this week has been good to you! We have had a sudden downpour of rain here in the last few days, which has been lovely, but we’re also one of the least drought-affected areas in Australia and in New South Wales in particular, so it always feels a little bittersweet knowing we have such an abundance when others are going without. Any prayers you could offer on behalf of our drought-affected areas would be much appreciated!

What’s been happening in your corner of the world this week? And while you’re here, why not find out what’s been happening in the bookish world too. 🙂
