Thank you @sparks_writing @BookGuild @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #ButterflyMagic for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. The Butterflies of Meadow Hill Manor is a young adult fantasy genre. I absolutely love this front cover, it's so beautiful. I was drawn to this book for two reasons, one I love butterflies and because I live down the road from Belper. Furthermore, I was really happy when I got picked to read this book. This story is beautifully written and did pull at my heart string. When the story ended, I wanted more, so I hope there will be a second book. This is a short read of 112 pages and I feel young teenagers will love this, even adults like me will too. I feel the author Stefanie Park takes you on an adventure with the beautiful and charming butterflies that capture your heart. The story is easy to get into, and I read this in a couple of hours and was gripped straight away. The story is about Amy who parents send her to go stay with her Aunt for a while at Meadow Hill Manor due to something that happened in Amy past that she has not dealt with. Then Amy hears some strange noises in her Aunties house that changes her life. This is a very magical story about healing, founding happiness again. Very well written with a terrific plot, 5 stars. Strongly recommend this book. Blurb Amy has been sent to live with her aunt at Meadow Hill Manor in Belper, Derbyshire, to help her ‘recover’. Rumours abound that the house is haunted, but Amy doesn’t care. It’s just another place to live and Amy is determined not to care about anything. What would be the point? Amy’s obsession with shutting the world out is interrupted when she hears strange noises in the house. Here she finds herself drawn to a mysterious, magical power hidden within the building. Should she ignore it, or should she face her fears and embrace this strange, new magic? Heart-warming and unique, The Butterflies of Meadow Hill Manor is a moving fantasy fiction which sensitively weaves themes of grief and anxiety along with friendship and discovery to deliver a truly magical story. Author bio Stefanie Parks was born and raised in the beautiful county of Derbyshire which became the inspiration and setting for her stories. She trained as a teacher at Derby University and after working locally for five years, decided to explore the world with her husband. Together they worked their way around a handful of countries and are currently living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Stefanie has written consistently during her travels; her stories always linking her back to her homeland. Author's Website: https://www.sparkswriting.com/

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

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening
