After Dad by Claire Shiells

By Emma Fitzgerald -
I really enjoyed reading After dad and i totally felt like i was going on emotional rollcoster with Millie. The story is very well written .I will definatly read more of Claire Shiells books in the future. After dad is contemporary romance fiction The characters are really likeable. I do wish the ended was totally different for Millie but I understand why the ending is the way it was but i am glad that Millie is happy and she got her second chance. As soon as i open the book the writting style hooked me straight away and made me want to keep reading till the end. i read this in two days . 5 stars lovely but sad story. Millie is 30 and goes back home to northan Ireland to see her poorly mum but she also running away from her London life due to her doing something unforgivable that she cant deal with but than she meets Fin when shes staying at her family hoilday home and he helps her deal with her issues. Thank you @Randonthingstour and @ClaireShiells for letting me tead this book and being oart of this tour. Author Bio Claire Shiells grew up in rural Northern Ireland during the Troubles where she had the best of times and the worst of times. She calls herself Northern Irish except on St Patrick’s Day when she is inexplicably full on Top-Of-The-Morning-To-You Irish. Claire now lives in London and in her last life (before the longest maternity leave ever) was a journalist and magazine editor. After Dad is inspired by a true event and is her first novel.

Thank you @strangelymagic and @neemtreepress for letting me review this book. War of the wind is 220 pages snd is you g adukt fiction. I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him. My heart did go out to dad ehen i found out why. It did make me sad in places but its great read and gripped me. I slso liked hid uncle and twister. I feel young adults will love this story its diffent and its grest suspence.

Thank you (@The_WriteReads @WriteReadsTours @strangelymagic and @TinyTreeBooks for being part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams front cover its great. The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams is for young adults between 9-13 years, which will keep them entertained till the end. The story is dark and well-written. The illustrations are amazing and great fantasy. The story is at a great pace and love adventure running through the book 5 stars. Blurb In a strange little village called Witchetty Hollow, eleven-year-old Florizel is the first to run into the curious visitors who've come to open a brand new Daydream Delicatessen and sack-baby factory.

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...

Thank you @NikkiTgriffiths , @Seeshespeak and @Melivillehouse for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. I love the front cover its very eye catching witch would make me pick up to read the blurb. I like the title to. I found hanging out very instresting read its very true how people lost on technology and how we lost the connections in the real world since covid. I found it difficult and awakard going to social situations not knowing what to say or woundering if people want me there all because we been locjed away. I like how Sheila highlights her importance for us to hang out togther and how socialsing has changed through the years. Hanging out is written well and easy to get into and the topic is well researched. 4 stars. The digital age has consumed us. Every time we unlock our phones, we disengage from our social interactions. As a digital society we have fractured our real-life relationships, splintered our attention and created social voids. We overcompensate f...
