Thank you @zooloosBT and @jess_read_write For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Pretty Little Lies is a psychological thriller, which is my favorite genre, so I couldn’t wait to get into this book, and it did not disappoint me at all. I really like the front cover, and it works well with the book. The story is about Amelia, who relocates to Cambridge for love, but things don’t turn out how she wanted them to. I liked Amelia a lot. I felt for her going through all this, but I wasn’t sure about Noah, her fiancé. There was just something about him that I couldn’t put my finger on. The pacing was superb, and you could keep up with it. There is a considerable amount of suspense and tension running through the book, and I was constantly questioning myself. What I thought was going to happen. I was fundamentally wrong. I really like that the story is told in three parts by Noah and Amelia. I felt like I got to know them a lot more. The twist was great. Didn’t see it ...

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. I had the pleasure of listening to A Little Christmas Magic on audio. The audio is two hours and 26 minutes long due to this being a short story. There are eight short stories, and each one is unique and different in its own way. A Little Christmas Magic has a beautiful front cover and is perfect for Christmastime. I was listening to a little Christmas magic on the way to work every day and on the way home, and I absolutely adored it. It got me in the festive mood. My favorite short stories were Poppy’s Christmas Wish, Driving Home for Christmas, The Wrong Post, and Taking Care of Bella. I really like the narrator, Colette Davies Kerwin. She was really animated in the stories and easy to like. The stories are written exceedingly well. The author Suzanna Rogerson has written a beautiful story that’s full of magic and heartwarming for Christmas. If you love Christmas books, this is for you. 5 stars...

Thank you @RoxanBurleyAuthor @AcornAndInk @LoveBooksTours For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Clockmaker is a fantasy genre, and it’s 55 pages long. This is an absolutely gorgeous story, which I was drawn to from the second I picked up the book. I really wished that the book was longer because it was so good. The story is about Eleanor, who takes over her aunt's flower shop, and it’s set in Devon in a place called Totnes. Which is one of my favorite places. Strange things start to happen in her shop, and when she goes upstairs behind a locked door, there is a clockmaker who shouldn’t be there. The story is written exceedingly well, and there’s so much in it for a short story. I love the magical element in the story. I really liked Eleanor. I thought she was lovely, and I also liked the clockmaker. He fascinated me immensely. The story is easy to get into and is at a superb pace that you can keep up with. Beautiful read. I would definitely read more from ...

Don't Forget The Crazy by Lucy Kaufman

By Emma Fitzgerald -

Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Don’t forget the crazy is a short story and is 57 pages long. The story is about Milli, who likes order in her life until one day something strange happens on her list. This is a great short story that grabbed my attention from the first sentence. There is a significant amount of tension that flows through the book, and I really liked Millie as a character. I love the twist. I didn’t see that coming at all. I completely understand why Millie did lists, and there are people that I know that do them, so I could relate to her straight away. Furthermore, I don’t forget the crazy is a very entertaining and different read from what I normally read, and I’m so glad that I got to read it. I like the title; it’s quite catchy, and the front cover goes really well with it, and the plot. I would like to read more from Lucie Kaufman in the future. Five stars. Blurb Her lists are life or death. “If it’s on the l...

Thank you rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. A Christmas Caroline is a comedy genre. A Christmas Caroline is about Caroline, who is grumpy and mean and does not like Christmas. Then Christmas Eve changes everything for her. This is a lovely short story that is very festive for this time of year. It took me a couple of pages to get into it, but then I loved it. It’s a very enjoyable and entertaining read that will make you giggle from start to finish. A lovely modern take on the Christmas Carol, excellent . I did like Caroline from the start and even more at the end. A heartwarming and Christmasy read. 5 stars. Blurb Caroline’s got frugality down to a fine art. She can make a tin of soup stretch for days, considers “reduced to clear” her love language, and thinks Christmas is just a daft excuse for people to throw their money away on tinsel trimmed tat. But Christmas Eve night takes a turn when her best mate, Marlene, drops in for a chat. Lov...
