Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz. And February! I hope those of you experiencing the polar vortex have managed to stay warm and safe. It’s a bit surreal to try and imagine what those kinds of temperatures are like, especially while we’ve just about melted to the ground down here in Australia!
But, as usual, a little bit of extreme weather can’t stop the book love, and there’s plenty of bookish news to report this week. 🙂

So glad I found your new site. I was wondering about your Weekend Books Buzz posts, as I had not had a notification of one for weeks, so decided to pop over to your old site. Directed here. Will have to resubscribe.
Very nice and very fancy.
Glad you found me too!
