Mrs Bambi Knows by Chris Mason

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @rararesources and @ChrisMason for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. Mrs Bambi knows is great read and hooked in me in from the first chapter. There is good humor that flows through the book. The story based in Oregon and is about Richard who is local advice columnist but his cover name is Mrs Bambi and he watches and listens to people this is where he gets ideas to write letters to Mrs Bambi and answer them. A lot of prople hate ber and even hid close friends dint know Richard is Mrs Bambi but theres only one friend that knows. I really enjoyed reading this book its very entertaining. I really like the characters in the book and Richard is my favourite . I dont read many Male narratives so it was nice to read something from maler perspective and Richard being single dad. It was lovely to see the support he gets to help him with his daughter. Heartwarming and easy read 5 stars. Will read more by Chris Mason in the future. Mrs Bambi Knows In a small town in Oregon, everyone wants to kill the local advice columnist, Mrs Bambi. If only they knew who she was. Mrs Bambi’s advice is so snarky that people have long since stopped asking for it. Instead she eavesdrops on conversations and writes the letters herself. The readers would lynch her, but no one knows who she is. In fact, Mrs. Bambi is not a woman. The column is written by Richard, a quiet widower with a young daughter. The uneventful part of Richard's life is nearly over: he begins dating Pam, a well-known realtor and a sports addict. When people begin to learn the identity of Mrs. Bambi, Richard is threatened and humiliated in public. Despite the pleas of his editor, his friends, and Pam, he refuses to stop writing the column. The only thing that can prevent disaster is for the town to finally learn the whole truth about Richard, which is much larger than the simple mystery of Mrs. Bambi. Set in 1995, Chris Mason’s skillful storytelling brings a tale of humour and romance – and not a little peril - charmingly to life in the mind of the reader. Author Bio – Born in Ohio, Chris has moved around too much for anyone's good, living in several places that might be considered tourist attractions. He mines those experiences for the settings of his books. He lives in Florida with his wife, two dogs, two cats, and a smart-aleck macaw who has pets of her own.

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.

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...
