Let Them Float by Katy Wimhurst

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooBTours and Katy Wimhurst for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Let Them Float is a collection of short stories. Each story is enchanting, and they all stand out. I found Let them float to be enjoyable and a light read that will take you away from your world. The stories are written well, and Katy Wimhurst has great imagination skills that you can visualize in your head. Brilliant read and each story leaves you thinking which I love it when writer does that. A great read 5 stars.

Apocalyptic rabbits invade a town. People overwhelmed by their lives float above an urban park. A woman turns transparent after a virus. The playful lens of magical realism is used to explore physical and mental illness and our fragile environment. Thought-provoking fiction with a good dose of whimsy.

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...
