Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! Thanks to very limited internet connection this week, this post has been a little harder to prepare for and I’m sure I will have missed finding out about some fabulous bookish news, but I thought I would post what I have anyway. Maybe you can all comment with the news I’ve missed!
I’ve also been busy editing this week, hence there have been less book reviews. But don’t worry, I have some great reviews coming up! And here’s something that will REALLY whet your appetite:

~ Cover Reveals ~
Isaiah’s Daughter – Mesu Andrews
Releasing: 3 October 2017
Isaiah adopts Ishma, giving her a new name–Zibah, delight of the Lord–thereby ensuring her royal pedigree. Ishma came to the prophet’s home, devastated after watching her family destroyed and living as a captive. But as the years pass, Zibah’s lively spirit wins Prince Hezekiah’s favor, a boy determined to rebuild the kingdom his father has nearly destroyed. But loving this man will awake in her all the fears and pain of her past and she must turn to the only One who can give life, calm her fears, and deliver a nation. Pre-order here.
