About Charlie By JM Langan

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @zooloosBT For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. About Charlie is a contemporary genre. The story about Emma, who loses her husband Charlie to cancer and becomes a drug addict. The story set in the 1990s in London. There are plenty of themes in the book, which are loss, love, addiction, friends, and grief. I found this to be a very deep read and it took me a few days to read this book due to me not wanting to rush this book and take in everything that was going on with the characters. About Charlie is a fascinating read that gave me insight into Emma Grief and her addiction due to her loss. I felt for her so much and her journey trying to get clean and a world without her husband. I also felt for her friend Jason, who was trying to help Emma but knew he could no longer give her the care she needed because she needed proper help. That must be hard for Jason. I liked the art side of the story which flows through the book. The story is written exceedingly well and gripped me from the first page. This is a entirely different read to what I normally read and so glad I read this book. It’s an amazing and inspiring read. 5 stars. I will be looking for more books by JM Langan in the future.

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.

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...
