Weekend Book Buzz – 19/20 Oct 2019

Posted 20 October 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 1 Comment

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! I have some exciting news for you today. If you follow me on social media, you may already know that, earlier this week, I unveiled a project I’ve been working on for a little while now: A Biblical Fiction Finder. You can check it out here or by selecting it from the menu at the top of this page.

The biblical fiction finder will make it much easier for those who are looking for biblical fiction about a particular biblical person or time. Or if you’re just looking for your next biblical read in general. I hope you find it useful!
