This is an interesting and heartwarming read that explore the spiritual world that I found fasciating I was very happy to read Just a Fika because i love this topic. I found Ingrid a lovely character and it was a joy to found out about her family history. If you fancy a read out of your comfort zone and supernatural, this book is definitly for you. The story is written well and engaging. 4 stars. Just a Fika Family. They're always meddling in your love life Even after they're dead.

As he fixes up the place, Ingrid digs into the house's past and learns about the family she barely knows. A nd then Mormor - her long - dead grandmother - shows up, acting as though not being in the spirit realm is perfectly normal. Ingrid's always yearned for stronger family connections, and it's nice having Mormor around. Mormor tries to set her up with a young real estate attorney who's closer to her more thunderous, god - like personal standards than the musician with keen senses Ingrid is falling for.

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...
