Buttercups in the basement by Jane Harvey

By Emma Fitzgerald -


 Thank you @rararesources and @DreenaC for letting me review this book and being part of this tour. What a lovely book to read I loved it that much I read it in a day. Jane Harvey writing is really engaging and  I could not put the book down. I loved how the story was written in the past about Betty  who 28 and then the present about Betty who is 82 and it all linked in really nicely. I definitely wanted more from the end and I loved the character Betty and her mum made me smile at times with how Blunt she is. Buttercups in the basement is about Betty who is nearly 28 and has just Married William and they have just brought a house which is very big and then convert into apartments where she needs Sandra. Buttercups in the basement is the second book in the series but you can read this as stand alone. I definitely want to read the 1st book and the 3rd book when it comes out. I really enjoyed this story and I really felt for Betty. I give Buttercups in the basement 5 stars and I would love to live there myself.

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

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. At first, it seems the daydream confection and cheap sack children are the best things that could have happened to the poor folk of the Hollow - after all, who has the money to rent their child from Storkhouse Services these days? But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening
