I’ll do anything you want by Iolanda Batalle

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @3TimesRebel and @IolandaBatalle for letting me read and review this book. I'll do anything you want is an amazing read to the point I could not put it down and finished it in three hours. This book is nothing like I have read before its outstanding. The writing and the descriptions are beautiful and there is one sentence I loved which was "It was my mother's faith her love, that brought me back to life". I found the book very easy to get into and I found Nora a fascinating character. I felt for her at times with what she was going through. You follow Nora's journey into the past and with her relationship with her husband, with sex and finding herself. Brilliant book and I will look out for more books by Iolanda Batalle in the future. Her writing is elegant and mesmerizing. 5 Stars a fantastic read. Blurb After 25 years of marriage and a life that seemed perfect, an accidental love affair will unexpectedly push Nora into a universe of abuse and luxury prostitution. From there, she will have to face her deepest feartars in a journey that will put her world upside down. Sex without constraints will be the trigger for Nora to get back in the driver's seat of her own life. A story that talks about a woman's journey, from submission to freedom, from I'll do anything you want to I'll do anything I want. Explicitly influenced by Anaïs Nin's Henry and June and by the novels of Henry Miller, Iolanda Batallé also mirrors Nora with Lewis Carrol's Alice - the two share a dream world that makes them grow or shrink as they journey into their depths. We can also find a wink to the White Rabbit in one of the book's characters appearing again and again to ask her the same question 'Are you sure you will be on time?' Bio Iolanda Batalle (Barcelona - Catalonia) is a writer, journalist, translator, publisher & Arts Degree in English literature. Her first book La memoria de les formigues was published in 2009 and became acclaimed by both the public and critics. After the compilation of short stories El limit exacte dels nostres cossos, in Nov'13 came Fare tot el que tu vulguis ("I'll do anything you want").

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

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 @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.
