Secrets of the Monument by Arlene Pearson

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @rarraresources and @pearson_arlene for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. This is the first book I have read by Arlene Pearson is a delightful read that thoroughly enjoyed. The story is set in two different timelines in 1946 with Ameilia and Ed whose relationship has been torn apart due to circumstances in their life. In 2015 is about Verity and Jeremy who are together living in the countryside then his nephew's turn-ups and things don't go accordingly to plan. I felt many emotions while doing this due to there being loss, love, and unhappiness at times. The characters are fantastic, but my favourite was Verity and Jemery. The story is written well with a great plot. Out to buy now. 5 stars Secrets of the Monument – In this intriguing dual-time story, two very different love stories prevail - 2015 Verity and Jeremy are idyllically happy in their new home, a country cottage at the foot of an old Greek temple on a green hill.

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.

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.

We overcompensate f...
