Travels with my Grief by Susan Bloch

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @monsue8 @urbaneless @exprimezwrite @KellyALacey @lovebookstours for letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. Travels with Grief is incrediable book and I love the descriptions of the colours the smells of tbings she come across in India. Travels with Grief is non fiction and I could really feel Susan emotions and pain in the book. I read the book in couple of hours and it pulled on my heart strings. Beauifully written i could not put it down snd it was lovely to see Susan come through her grief near the end. I thought it was so brave of her to go to India on her own . Susan losses her Husband to cancer and is struggling with her grief she moves to India for three years and India helps her with her Grief. Reading this book make me want to go to india and see all what Susan describes. Anyone that is going through grief may found this helps. Beauliful book 5 stars. Blurb This ultimately uplifting memoir is the extraordinary recollection of a middle-aged woman, who following the tragic loss of her husband, decides to start a completely new life. Giving up her successful career in the UK, Susan moves to live and work in India where she challenges her grief, beliefs, and courage as she faces the uncertainties and anxieties of a new life in a new country. More than the carnival of color, curiosities and customs that the author opens herself to, it is the trust in new friendships, the shared experience of violent trauma, the leaps of faith, and, finally, the literal and metaphorical walk-through fire that draws us in and allows us to see how our own fears, injuries, and isolation might be remedied.

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 @Dreamheadz . @KellyALacey and @lovebookstours for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Fish King and the Two Wise Ghosts is a children's book that is 58 pages long. This is a cute children's book about the Fish King who feels lonely and wants to find a family he eventually finds Lisa but he has to introduce them to the Ghosts. The illustrations are good and children will like them and they work well with the writing. There is good rhyming throughout the book which children will like.

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 ...
