Weekend Book Buzz – 10/11 August 2019 – Fiction Aficionado
Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz, reader friends! I’ve had a glorious weekend indulging my non-bookish passion this weekend: singing! I was part of a festival choir that performed at Christ Church Cathedral in Newcastle—and the bonus perk was listening to and catching up with a dear friend from my university days who now lives in the UK. My heart is full!
What’s your non-bookish passion? I’d love to know!
