Libidos and Life Lessons: A Memoir by Mariella Pearson

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Libidos and Life Lessons is a memoir. I thought Mariella Pearson was very honest and open about her relationships, dating and breakups that happened in her life. I felt quite emotional reading this book in places with some of the things Mariella went through with breakups and men just not getting back to her ( ghosty her) I found Libidos and Life Lessons very easy to read from the first page and found her life fascinating and moving. I like Mariella's writing style a lot and cant wait to read another book. She hooks you in straight away and you can't seem to put the book down. Beautifully written 4 stars. Blurb A painfully honest and highly relatable account of a girl making her way through the world of dating. Through breakups, heartbreak and Covid, from realising putting out doesn't equal love to pussy gazing workshops, Mariella starts to realise that maybe she should start with herself. Looking internally for the first time, she goes on a quest to find out who she is and what she wants from a relationship with herself as well as others. Along the way, she experiences grief and ghosting. Break-ups and being batshit crazy. Sexuality and self-sufficiency, and realising men do not hold the answer to true fulfilment. Eventually, she discovers that learning to love and accept yourself is the ultimate answer. Prepare yourself to join Mariella on this wild and wonderful journey - there will be laughs, there will be tears, but most of all, there will be love. Mariella Pearson took up writing in lockdown, when her beloved dog had had enough of her taking him out on marathon walks, and realised that through her writing she could make other women feel less alone. Mariella loves to empower other women, and is always fascinated to learn more about how she operates, so she can be the best version of herself. Her ability to laugh at herself through the chaos of life is infectious, helping us all to take life more lightly.

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 (@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...
