Sad Girl Novel by Pip Finkemeyer

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @emily_egg for letting me review this book and be part of the tour. My Review Sad Girl is a comedy that will make you laugh out loud. The story is about Kim who whats to be a writer and comes to Berlin to write it. The story does go from past and present tense which I liked. I liked Kim and she seems a very nice person and did make me smile at times. Sad Girl is not what I would normally read but I did enjoy it and found it fascinating to read and loved some quotes flying through the book. Kim meets a friend called Bel who I did enjoy reading about and how their friendship develops through the book. This is Pip Finkemeyer's first great novel and I liked her writing style alot, I will be looking out for her next book. 4 stars. Out now to buy. Book Description A young woman tries to figure out if she's the best (a creative genius) or if she's maybe just the worst (completely delusional) in this hilarious debut for fans of Monica Heisey, Elif Batuman and Emma Jane Unsworth. About the Author Pip Finkemeyer's fiction has been listed for the Desperate Literature Short Fiction Prize, the Richell Prize for Emerging Writers, the Disquiet Literary Prize and nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She co-founded the Berlin-based zine Nothing To See Here, and completed a Masters in Publishing and Editing at RMIT. She lives in Naarm/Melbourne and Sad Girl Novel is her first novel.

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
