Don't Forget The Crazy by Lucy Kaufman

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @rararesources For letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Don’t forget the crazy is a short story and is 57 pages long. The story is about Milli, who likes order in her life until one day something strange happens on her list. This is a great short story that grabbed my attention from the first sentence. There is a significant amount of tension that flows through the book, and I really liked Millie as a character. I love the twist. I didn’t see that coming at all. I completely understand why Millie did lists, and there are people that I know that do them, so I could relate to her straight away. Furthermore, I don’t forget the crazy is a very entertaining and different read from what I normally read, and I’m so glad that I got to read it. I like the title; it’s quite catchy, and the front cover goes really well with it, and the plot. I would like to read more from Lucie Kaufman in the future. Five stars. Blurb Her lists are life or death. “If it’s on the list, I have to do it.” Milli Morgan lives by her lists. Groceries, goals, organising her boss – nothing escapes being ticked of her ever-growing to-do lists. Order brings her comfort; control keeps the chaos at bay. Everyone can rely on Milli. Until the day new items start appearing on her list in red ink. At first, she blames stress. A prank. Someone playing mind-games. But one instruction on the list refuses to be erased and demands to be completed. A command so terrible she would have to be crazy to tick it of. Don’t Forget the Crazy is a dark psychological suspense short story about obsession, perfection, and the dangerous pressure of always being “the good girl.” Fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell, Patricia Highsmith, and Shirley Jackson will devour this chilling portrait of order unravelling into darkness.

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.

This is a cute children's book about the Fish King who feels lonely and wants to find a family he eventually finds Lisa but he has to introduce them to the Ghosts. The illustrations are good and children will like them and they work well with the writing. There is good rhyming throughout the book which children will like.
