[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stunning. Insightful. Unexpected. I couldn’t put this small book of poetry down - so moved was I by the kaleidoscope of words, each piece of work so uniquely brilliant (though a small few, I must confess, I found maddeningly impenetrable). Experimental in nature, the “poems” captured here…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 A delightful collection of Indian fairy tales, that read like short stories, sprinkled with magic, karma and a whole heap of kindness. Each beautifully intermingled story tells the tale of one ‘angel’, one not quite ‘normal’ being who comes to realize they are blessed with a…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 An epic and life-changing journey, paused and then culminated, decades later, as our main protagonist, Dan, travels the road to Kathmandu, Nepal. Dan, an often strung-out hippie kid from England, seeking mystery, excitement, adventure, and most of all, freedom from his “cultural straightjacket”, completes a drive…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow. That was one ending I did not predict! What a fabulous ride - twists and turns do not come anywhere near describing the devious path this book takes to tell its tale. A dark and clammy story brimming with fear, fearlessness (is it a good thing?…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Is it really possible to start over? To change? Or are we all destined to be haunted by ghosts we thought we’d left behind?” Reminiscent of “The Girls Are All So Nice Here” (albeit with a much nicer group of protagonists), this book tells a “now” versus…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Letters from Afganistan” is a YA book bursting with social consience, a Call to Action and most of all, a giant heart. Written as the first English story constructed by a native Italian speaking author, the book is intended to inspire, educate, and reach deep into the…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] “The Sequence” by Lucien Telford is absolutely brilliant in parts, (many parts), so much so that it’s hard to believe this is the work of first time author. The story line is multi-layered, fiendishly ingenious, and peppered with such cool tech gear, holograms, vehicles, implants and gadgets…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2 [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] Engrossing portrayal of early nineteenth century life in rural Newfoundland, - where fishing provides not only livelihood, income and sustenance, but also the salt cod used as barter to trade for all essentials not grown or produced on the island - goods delivered by merchant ships…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] My stop today on the @rrbooktours #rrbooktours blogtour for the #YA release of #burningbright - Book two in the rise and fall of Dani Truehart Series, by @author.michelekwas When we last met Dani Truehart, in the pages of “Rising Star”, Dani was 15 years old and a…
[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Listen”] ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crazy unputdownably good, it’s hard to believe this is a debut novel. Virginia Kennedy, our darkly messed-up, severely hurting, main protagonist, is twenty-six years old, living in a small New England town. Biting sarcasm, extreme social avoidance, and an alcohol-induced haze, Virginia’s prime tools for coping, do…
