Just One Year by Lainy J. Thomas

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @hyggebooktours and @LainyJThomas1 for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Just One Year is a contemporary genre. The story is set during COVID-19 times when it was lockdown. The main character is Josie who is 49 years old, and she finds out she has one year to live and starts to question her life to her husband and other things around her. I did really enjoy reading this book and did shed a few tears at the end. This is a fantastic read and I fell in love with Josie character because she is such a lovely person who is struggling with COVID-19, marriage, life, friendship, and motherhood. This is a moving read that you won't be able to put down because you need to know what happens with Josie. There were a couple of twists I did not see coming, but they work brilliantly. You will feel many emotions reading this book, I did. I did not like Josie husband at first due to things that were going on, but I think he had his own issues going on and with COVID-19 as well but later on in the book I liked how he developed and liked him much more. This is a gripping read and I like Lainy J. Thomas writing style it kept me engaged and hooked to the pages. You will not be disappointed reading this book, I was not, and I am so glad I got to read it 5 stars.

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.

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...
