Mother Fox asked her little daughter to go hunting and get some food for the very first time in her life. The little fox decided to catch the Sun since it looked very appetising. Going in search of it, the girl had no idea she would meet a little toad Loudcroak who would become her faithful friend. This charming adventure story is filled with kindness, courage, and faith, teaching children how true friendship overcomes any obstacles.
I apologise for the delay in my review. I loved this book. It represents all the world should be and true friendship.
It had great illustrations for children and they were so amazing.
I loved it when it got to the part where the book title made sense to me. The names were super cute to such as, Redkin and Loudcroak.
I think any child would love this book and even the parents as I enjoyed it too.
The ending was fab. I love endings and this was a cute satisfied ending to the story.
After a sudden death, Will, a misguided angel, is tasked with protecting a baby girl. Watching over her as she grows up amd navigates the world appears a harsh punishment for his past failings. Can he redeem himself, or will he fall further from grace ?
This was different to my usual go to genres. I enjoyed the read as it was quick and straight into the story. I found that i enjoy reading from the first person perspective as i feel like you really get to know the character more.
You know that meme of the angel statue, its face in its hands, with the caption: “This is probably what my guardian angel looks like”? Well, that’s the only thing on the wall in this stark room meant for some 12-step spiritual garbage.
“What am I doing here?” I asked, studying the new gray markings growing iridescent on my skin.
A few excerpts above to give you a feel of the novel.
I would recomend as it is a short easy read novel.
I apologise for the late post. I hope you enjoy my review.
The beginning provide a good start to the novel which I enjoyed. I felt like it had good character developments which kept me engaged when reading.
The genre is YA Fantasy so everyone knows that they are my two favourite genres so I was happy 😃 when I loved this book !
This is the first book in the series so I am excited for the second book 📖 It had all elements I love in a good book. I really like the style of writing ✍️ and the perspective.
Now endings are a favourite of mine and this book 📖 did a good job. I have to say the end sentence was so strong and powerful!
100% recommend checking it out on release date which is April 2020!
Book Tour Stop! Thank to R&R Book Tours and Eva Mackenzie for the book.
4 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow I really need to read more thriller books!
I really loved how each chapter had a different perspective from the characters out of the book. It made the style of writing something I liked.
The main character Jamie I felt you could connect with her throughout her journey in the novel which I liked.
The plot did take a while to get me hooked and that it why I didn’t give it higher rating. However, when it got going I couldn’t put it down!
I thought I figured it out towards the end but then I definitely didn’t haha 😂
As you know I love endings to books which makes or breaks it for me. This book didn’t disappoint me ! It had twists and turns coming at me from all different directions which I loved.
Also, I just have to say how gorgeous is this cover 😍
Thank you to R&R Book Tours and Anna Vocino for my copy of her book.
The Genre is Cook Book/ Healthy Eating / Recipes.
This book is really easy to follow and there are many different styles of recipes to follow. The images are fab too! Everyone loves seeing how theirs should turn out like haha.
Love this quote! I mean i wouldn’t think of Turkey chilli but i really want to try this now. Plus a great idea for left over Turkey at Christmas time!
This book has 160+ New delicious grain-free, gluten free, low carb recipes that are free from processed sugars. It has starters, mains, sides, soups, casseroles, slow cooker and instant pot recipes, plus breakfast and a chapter on making sauces and dressings from scratch!
I have yet to make a recipe myself as i have been so busy with my work life. However, i have started folding the pages of the recipes i am going to make eventually when i get the chance.
Again some fab ideas i would never think of myself. I defo want to try peach in a salad haha.
I would recommend this to people who want to make a healthy life change as this is not a diet book! There is still some fab desserts to make.
Theresa Braun has a new short story coming out called, The Celestial Assignment. Here’s a sneak peek at the cover, and an excerpt from the book!
Cover Reveal:
The Celestial Assignment by Theresa Braun
Expected Publication Date:
February 14th, 2020
Genre: Short
Story/ Urban Fantasy/ Paranormal
After a sudden death, Will, a misguided angel, is
tasked with protecting a baby girl. Watching over her as she grows up and
navigates the world appears a harsh punishment for his past failings. Can he
redeem himself, or will he fall further from grace?
“I devoured this phenomenal sorrow-filled piece in one
sitting, but Braun left me with so many questions I had to think about. She
creates a world that’s vivid, lush and visceral, while setting the reader up
for heartbreak and despair. Amazing read, can’t recommend ‘The Celestial
Assignment’ enough.” –Steve Stred, author of Ritual
You know that meme of the angel statue, its face in its hands, with the caption: “This is probably what my guardian angel looks like”? Well, that’s the only thing on the wall in this stark room meant for some 12-step spiritual garbage.
I
was mystified as fuck the first time I sat here. The last thing I’d remembered
was having a beer with one of my side pieces before witnessing her chuck my
body into an unmarked grave. The bitch walked right through me as I grilled her
about what she’d done.
Next
thing I know, I transported into this very chair. Looking around the circle, I
noted everyone’s arms tattooed with wings in shades matching their clothing.
“What am I doing here?” I asked, studying the new gray markings growing
iridescent on my skin.
“You’re getting a new assignment,” said someone with platinum hair. His
wings were the real deal, tucked at his back, and he wore a white T-shirt and
white jeans.
“As
opposed to what?”
“Going back to earth. That hasn’t
been working.” He stared at me with his unnaturally light blue eyes. “Don’t
worry, there’s a manual under your seat.”
That’s when I zoned out. The rest of them yammered on as I frantically
retraced my memory for clues to why I was here. What kind of demented lunatic
would make me an angel, if that’s what I was? I hadn’t even stepped one foot in
a church, at least in my most recent life. That’s when it hit me I’d had more
than one incarnation on earth. The mere vocabulary of it made me shiver.
***
With
a jolt, my feet landed on slick linoleum, the burning odor of disinfectant and
stale medicine in the air. A woman screamed in a hospital bed, her legs pried
open with a sheet over them. Ugh. I’d never liked babies and had zero fatherly
instincts. As the infant cried and was handed to the mother, the dad busy
snapping Polaroids, I heard a whisper: “She’s your responsibility now.”
As
my questions flooded in, that damned manual appeared in my hand. Annoyed the
heavenly head honchos hadn’t downloaded the content into my brain, I held onto
it, lest I be struck by lightning.
“Hello, Celeste,” the mother cooed to the baby.
I
tapped my foot.
The
irony of the name irked the shit out of me.
As a
reluctant guardian angel, I figured my job involved keeping this pipsqueak’s
hand off the hot stove, and her mouth away from poisons in the cabinets. Most
of the time, I yawned in the periphery, especially since I was trapped in this
fucking hick town somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin. Countless Crayon
doodles and finger paintings were the extent of my excitement. Eventually, I
rejoiced when of a few close calls at the wheel of her parents’ car gave me
something to do. But then there was her painfully awkward discovery of boys.
Once she inadvertently brushed this dude’s junk at a dance. Her first kiss was
lame as shit. It was like being tuned into the Nickelodeon Channel. Her interactions
with a new boy made me gag—they’d finish each other’s sentences and giggle like
idiots. What did I do to deserve this?
Hi 👋 readers and writers, I have a review for The Red Ribbon by Lucy Adlington. Check it out!
Four of us: Rose, Ella, Marta and Carla.
In another life, we might have been friends together.
But this was Birchwood…. Auschwitz- Birkenau.
As fourteen year old Ella begins her first day working in the prison camp, she steps into a world of silks and seams, lace, buttons and ribbons. Ella is a dressmaker, but this is no ordinary sewing workshop. Hers are no ordinary clients.
Every dress she makes could mean the difference between life and death…. this room, this place, is all about survival.
Now if that hasn’t hooked you into checking this book out read my review below!
The cover is beautiful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stars!
This book surprised me at how much I loved it! The beginning wasn’t slow it got straight into the plot. It is properly why I gave it 5 stars as normally I find books to be a bit of a flow start.
I loved all the characters you could attach to each one of them. The relationship between Ella and Rose was really heart warming. I am glad I got the chance to join their journeys in the book.
The style of the writing I love! Also, I love that Lucy uses different titles for her chapters. In this book we see colours used.
Now, I love it when you come to that part of the story when the title makes sense! It didn’t disappoint and I won’t say too much as it will spoil the book.
Endings are alway a love or hate relationship. This ending I loved! It was a beautiful way to end such a great novel.
I can’t think of anything bad to say about the book so this is why I gave it 5 stars. Go check it out !
It’s my stop on this book tour! Thank you to R&R book tours and the author Paul Tudor Owen!
‘Sooner or later, everybody comes to New York…’
Following a sudden break up, Englishman in New York Nick Braeburn takes a room with the elderly Peacock sisters in their lavish Upper East Side apartment, and finds himself increasingly drawn to their priceless piece of Egyptian art on their study wall- and to Lydia, the beautiful Portuguese artist who lives on the roof garden.
But as Nick draws Lydia into a crime he hopes will bring them together, they both begin to unravel, and each finds that the other is not quite who they seem.
4 * – Amazing read!
This book really surprised me! (In a good way!) I couldn’t stop reading 📖 it after each chapter. I really liked the characters in this book.
It is well written and I like the writing style the author has used throughout the novel. I loved the cover of this book too it is so simply but effective!
It was a nice change to read from the male perspective in a romance book. As normally it is the female view point. I think this is a reason I enjoyed it so much!
Now the things I didn’t love was the ending. I am really picky on endings and it just didn’t do it for me. Though it ended nicely I just thought it’s ended that’s it. I also, felt the opening could of got going a bit more quickly too.
Overall, I really loved this book more than what i thought I would! I would recommend this to others to read!
Hi fellow readers and writers! This is a new poem I am working on at the moment. Hope you enjoy:)
We all start small,
Waiting for something big!
But we all have to dig,
To start the journey of life.
……….
A seed so small grows and grows until ….
It blossoms to take its place in life.
But not all survive the knife!
…….
It wouldn’t be called life without death.
We all enter the world so small yet ….
Some get years well ….
Others get days!
Even life gets chosen.
…….
Big, Bright, Beautiful,
Life.
Cherish the growth!
Do something big!
But don’t forget there is always darkness in light.
And most of all love BIG!
……
Thank you all for reading my work. I really appreciate it! Let me know your thoughts and if you have any improvements for me! I am also trying to post every week this year:)
