Weekend Book Buzz – 17/18 August 2019

Posted 18 August 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 0 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! I don’t know about your week, but mine’s been a bit crazy, hence there hasn’t been quite as much activity on my blog as usual. And considering my youngest turns seven this week (what?!), I’m not sure things will be much less crazy this week, either! But there will be more cake. 🙂

~ On the Blog ~

Top Ten Tuesday – Fictional Friendships
First Line Friday – State of Lies by Siri Mitchell

~ Blog Tours ~

Blog tours are great for getting a cross-section of reviews on a book, and they often have giveaways associated with them too! Click on the hyperlinks or the tour banners to find our more information about each tour. Please note that these links will only be live once the blog tour begins.

Yellow Lantern Blog Tour

Author Angie Dicken has put together a blog tour that will run throughout June-August that will share some of the interesting details about the heroine in her upcoming release The Yellow Lantern. There will be a new blog post up each week on subjects such as factory life, apothecaries, and grave-robbing, and there will be prizes too. Click on the graphic below for more information and to check out the schedule.
