Thank you @hyggebooktours and @Palamedes For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Away with the Fairies is a folklore anthology. I received a hard copy of A Way with the Fairies, and it contains a selection of folk songs, fairy tales, and fables from all over the European countries. The illustrations are absolutely outstanding and beautiful. They are unique, and they fit really well with this folklore anthology book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all of these poems and stories; they were stunning and spectacular. I also like that at each story/poem there’s a bit of an introduction about them. Furthermore, I feel this is a book that you can keep coming back to time and time again. All in a Way with the Fairies is a unique and magical read. I read this book in one day, and it just blew me away. I strongly recommend this book if you’re into folk stories and fairy tales. Five stars. Blurb: 1. The supernatural is woven into everyday life. The book invites readers to s...

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Magical Beginnings in Little Beaubrook is a fantasy fiction genre. I absolutely adore the front cover. It’s got some lovely light spring colors on it, and I’d love to visit the house. I really like the title as well. I think it works with the front cover and the story. The style of the writing is easy to get into, and it is beautifully written. Magical Beginnings in Little Beaubrook is a feel-good, cozy read. It has a great plot. There were quite a few different narrators in the book, and I did get confused about who was who, but after that second chapter I got my head around it. I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them all, and it was really nice to see the characters develop, and they all seem to work well in the story. While reading this book, I felt numerous emotions. It made me smile. It took up my heartstrings, and it was a really magical read. The story is at a good pace that you can ...

Thank you @AuthorClarenceBarbee @LoveBooksTours @LBT.Crew For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Lessons and Libations is a collection of short stories and poems. The audiobook is 57 minutes long, and the narrator is Clarence Barbee, who is also the author. I liked listening to his Clarence voice, and he has a voice you can listen to for ages, and you could tell he is passionate about his writing; it comes through his voice. Lessons and Libations is a rapid listen, and he grabs your attention straight away, and I listen to this audio all in one go. It was lovely to read something entirely different from what I normally read. All the stories were beautifully written, and his words resonated with me a lot. These stories and poetry are all engaging and entertaining, and I also enjoyed getting to know the characters, and I like that the stories are different from each other. Inspiring and beautiful words—five stars. Blurb In Lessons & Libations, Clarence Barb...

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The child we lost is literature fiction/family drama. The story is 300 pages long, and while I was reading this book, I felt very emotional reading this book and at times it did make my heart beat faster. It did make me cry in many places through the book. The stories are about Vicky and Marc, who lost their three-year-old boy, Josh, and they have another child called Ruby. Ruby was Josh is twin sisterand then Ruby thinks she’s seen him again. The story is very well written and beautifully written. If I’m being honest, I was hooked on the book immediately, and the story is about grief and loss, so it did pull at my heartstrings quite a bit. It is a gripping read, and you will be hooked from start to finish. I found the characters likable, and I did feel like I connected to the mom quite a bit. The Child We Lost is an entertaining read, and you will be in a mess by the end of reading this book. Exc...

Where the Heart Meets the Sea by Kimbra Drake

Thank you @Kimberly_Engebrigtsen @LoveBooksTours @LBT.Crew For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Where the Heart Meets the Sea is a romance/literary fiction. I received a paperback of Where the Heart Meets the Sea, and the writing is the right size for me because I do often struggle with the font and the size being tiny, and this is perfect and doesn’t make my eyes squint, which is a bonus. I like the front cover; it’s stunning and makes me want to go and visit this place, which is set in Norway. Furthermore, I like when you open the paperback and there’s a map, and it gives you a bit of detail of what the places are called so you can flip back to the map when you're reading in the book, which is excellent. Not only that, but I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions in the book. They were beautiful, and I could really visualize them in my mind. I found the story easy to get into from chapter 1 to the end. I like in this book the topics it hits on: romance, fri...

Back for Good by Jay Jacobs!

Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Back for Good is a contemporary genre and is 384 pages long. I love the front cover; it’s bright and colorful, and I like how her hair mixes in as the main feature of the cover. The story is about Sasha, and she doesn’t ask for a lot and feels unappreciated in her marriage, but then something happens to her that makes her life change, and then there is Zinnia, who is a trainee spirit guide that wants to help Sasha sort her life out. For me, this is the kind of story that I love, especially about spiritual areas. I instantly loved the book and was drawn in by the story and the plot. The writing is beautiful. Back for Good is easy to get into and a heartwarming story. You won’t be able to put it down. The story is at a reasonable pace for you to keep up with, which I liked. I really liked the characters and felt a bond with them and felt like I could relate to them. This is an engaging and unique read from...

Smile So Red and Other Tales of Madness by Mia Dalia

By Emma Fitzgerald -

Thank you@zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Smile So Red and Other Tales of Madness is a horror/short stories genre. I adore the descriptions that flow through each of these stories; they give so much atmosphere, and you can feel the chill down your spine while reading these stories. There are eight different stories, and they are all fabulous to read and just as terrifying as each other, but I think my favorite was the Blues for the Soul. I was just gripped from start to end with this one, probably more than the other books. Smiles So Red and Other Tales of Madness would be perfect for Halloween. I like the setting in each of the stories; they are dark and scary. All the stories are easy to get into and all as good as each other, and I think this is a book that you can keep reading and coming back to. I like horror, and this is a great horror. All all the main characters in each story were memorable and fabulous to get to know. I was drawn to th...
