By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @kingsleypublis1 @schristodoulou2 @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this tour and for reviewing this book. The Village house is romance that is set in Cyprus. I love the front cover it bright and beautiful. Just from reading the book and the front cover it made we want to jet of somewhere hot and beauiful . Soulla Christodoulou writing is very descriptive and engaging. The Village house is 250 pages long and it short book you csn tead in a day. I liked the characters they worked well in the story. Lovely read great book to read on hoilday 5 stars Blurb “Romantic, descriptive, and evocative… The Village House captures the authentic spirit of a Cypriot village.” - Nadia Marks, best-selling author of Among the Lemon Trees. Katianna receives a solicitor’s letter summoning her to Omodos, a mountain village in Cyprus. What is at first an inconvenient trip quickly becomes more attractive as she spends more time there. Flooded with many childhood memories, she falls in love with her roots and relishes the relaxed pace and warmth of her cousin and the Cypriot people she meets. And then there’s the simmering attention of the builder tasked with renovating the village house Katianna has inherited from her maternal grandmother. Grappling with yo-yoing emotions, she returns home. But in London all is not well for her award-winning dating agency; her world is threatened, turned upside down, forcing her to question everything she believes in and has worked so hard for. She travels back and forth and has to face the fact she has to sell the only connection left to her family. But can Katianna have everything? Will she find a way to hold onto her business? Or will the pull of her heartstrings and the village house entice her to start over in a place closer to home than she ever imagined?

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 @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...
