Bad Magic and Whiskey by Melissa Jacobson

Image
Thank you zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Bad Magic Whiskey is a historical fantasy genre. I really like the front cover; it’s very colorful and works really well with the title. When I read the blurb, I was hooked straight away, and I couldn’t wait to read this book. I found the writing style effortless to get into, and this is an entirely different read from what I normally read as well, so I was truly grateful to read something entirely different. This is the first book in the series, and I was hooked from the minute I read it, and I could not put it down, so I’m very excited for book 2. I really like the characters, and the narrator was Mick. She was a fantastic character, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. I really liked the descriptions in the book and could really visualize it in my mind. The story is straightforward to get into, and I think you will be hooked from the minute you read it, because I was. Looking forward to book 5...

Love Grief & More Sex Than Pinot by Sacha Huges

Image
Thank you @literallypr For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Love, Grief, and More Sex than Pinot is book one in the series and is a comedy genre. I like the front cover; it seems to work well with the title and the book. The story is about Soho. She did have a perfect life, and then things started to go wrong, for instance, losing her mom and many other things that have happened to her. Love, grief, and more sex than Pinot is an easy book to get into from the start. I really liked the character Soho, and I kept reading the book wanting to know what happened to her. I also liked her as a character, and at times I really wanted to give her a hug because of the things that she was going through. This story is very moving and also made me laugh in a few places as well. The story is written at a great pace that you can keep up with, and you will definitely have a mixed bag of emotions reading this book, which is superb when that happens, I feel. I thoroughly enjoye...

The Tradwife's Lie by Bella Ellwood-Clayton

Image
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Tradeswife is a psychological genre, which is my favorite genre, and I read this book in a day and a half. I liked the cover, and the blurb instantly interested me, and I wanted to review this book and read it, and it did not let me down. There are a few narratives in the book. They are Marni, who is married to a doctor, and she’s very fragile, and she becomes pregnant and starts to find things out she didn’t want to. Then there’s Elka, who is controlling or running Westbrook with her husband and who has a family, but things are not what they seem with her either. I thoroughly enjoyed reading both ladies perspectives on how they were feeling, and it was nice to get to know them both. And actually, I really did like both of the characters and was genuinely interested in their story and was drawn to them both because they are entirely unique women. There is a significant amount of tension running thr...

Step into my Flow by Michelle Heighway

Image
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Step into My Flow is a book of poetry and has a gorgeous front cover of flowers, leaves, and a beautiful cottage. It’s definitely somewhere where I would like to live. My favorite poems are “To the Shores,” "The Butterfly Effect,”"Cells , Cells, Imagination," and “Spell.” All of this poetry is gorgeous and flows really well. This is a lovely collection of poetry that you can keep coming back to time after time. All the poems felt like they were written from the heart and very meaningful and really resonated with me. There are four sections of the book: beginnings and reflections, nature and healing, loss and longing, and celebration, connection, and transformation. You will find that there will be some poems that will be your favorite more than others, but to be honest, I have mentioned my favorite above, but they are all just lovely and relatable, and you can feel the emotion in Michelle ...

High Spirits at the Village Inn by Sharon Booth

Image
Thank you @rarasources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. High Spirits at the Village Inn is book four in the series. I haven’t read any of the other books, and I have read High Spirits at the Village Inn as a standalone, and I’ve not gotten lost at all with what’s going on. But I would like to read the other three books. The book's length is 248 pages, which isn’t long at all; it took me a day to read this book. This is a romance fantasy genre, and the story is set in the Cotswolds, which is beautiful, so it was lovely to read this book, and I could visualize it in my head because I visited the Cotswolds before. The story is about Danny, who's been stuck in the village for 18 years and feels like his dreams have been shattered, and then there was Rory, who lives in London and is planning to whisk his wife Kirsty away to the Cotswolds for their wedding anniversary, but will their anniversary turn out like he’s planned? The story is easy to get into,...

Selecting The Wrong Love- E.Masson & Julie G Henry

Image
thank you @hyggebooktours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Selecting the Wrong Love is a romance genre, and his book is the first in the series. I absolutely adore the front cover. It’s mesmerizing, beautiful, and eye-catching. The story is 170 pages long, and I read this in a few hours. I was absolutely engrossed in the story, and I could not put it down. The story is about Amber, and she’s at college and meets James, who becomes her best friend but maybe a bit more, and then there was Levi, who enters Amber's life. I can’t wait for book two because I want to see what happens with Amber, James, and Levi next. The story is fast-paced and is very well written and will keep you entertained from the beginning up to the end. I really like Amber as a character. She knows what she wants, but then her life changes, and I do feel sorry for her, but nobody knows what’s going to happen. I also liked James; I thought he was a good character. There was a part of me...

The Bird Watchers by AJ Lawson

Image
Thank you @hyggebooktours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The BirdWatcher is a literary novel, and it’s about loneliness and searching for connection. The front cover is unique and grabs your attention from the minute you see it. I think the title really works with the story. I find The BirdWatchers a fascinating read, and it hooked me from start to finish after reading it. I felt it was a breathtaking and powerful read and something entirely different from what I normally read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Birdwatchers. It is written beautifully, and AJ Lawson's words are so true. The story is set in a Swiss city, and the story is about Jean, who sees a woman on his daily commute that captures his attention. It made me think about the times when I would sit and just watch people because it’s so fascinating to just watch other people. I wonder what their lives are about, so for me, this really resonated with me. Fantastic read, 5 stars. Blurb T...
