Weekend Book Buzz – 2/3 March 2019

Posted 3 March 2019 by Katie in Book Buzz, Christian Fiction / 2 Comments

Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz. And welcome to March! As hot and uncomfortable as it can get in Australia, I’m always a little sad to say goodbye to summer, because I’m really not a winter person. (And yes, I realise it doesn’t really get cold in Australia by many people’s standards!) But as someone wise once said, to everything there is a season. 😉

But no matter the season, there are great books to be had, and you’ll find a whole lot of fantastic new releases in this week’s edition of the Book Buzz. And a whole lot more besides.
