Review of The Booklovers Library by Madeline Martin

 

Ad-PR

Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Booklover’s Library by Madeline Martin.

I am a big fan of WWII fiction and was really excited to read the latest book by Madeline Martin.

In Nottingham in 1939, just as the country is on the brink of war, widow Emma Taylor is looking for a job to support herself and her young daughter Olivia.

Emma finds a job at the Boots lending library, but her happiness is short lived when Olivia is sent away as a child evacuee. 

Can Emma keep her job and will friendships form as she waits for Olivia to return?

I really enjoyed this book, which vividly brings this era to life and shows how the power of books helped to bring people together in the hardest of time. My grandmother was an evacuee and I am always interested when reading books which focus on this era.

I would highly recommend for fans of historical fiction and WWII fiction.

Review of The Christmas Market

Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Christmas Market by Linda McEvoy.

Jan is back in her home town of Ballyclane after a horrible breakup. She is determined to have a fresh start and to launch her hat business at the Christmas market in the town square.

However, when she returns to Ballyclare after a nine year absence it is far different to how she remembered. Starting from her mother’s house where she finds her old room is now a walk in wardrobe.

Even worse,  no one is organising the Christmas market and Jas’ sister has been keeping a big secret from her.

Jas decides to take it on even if it goes mean working alongside handsome builder Niall.

Will the Christmas market be a success?

This is such a lovely festive read! I loved getting to know Jas and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

Review of Witchspark by Dominique Valent

Today is my stop on the Kaleidoscopic blog tour for Witchspark by Dominique Valente.

Twelve year old Eglantine Bury can’t find her Witchspark and if she can’t find her magic then she will lose her family house.

Elsewhere, the Princess Victoria has her own problems when her secret magical powers wreak havoc in the royal palace.

Eglantine and Victoria sign up to forbidden lessons from Miss Hegotty’s witch course. As try to get to grips with the tricky classes, can these secret lessons help them and can Eglantine save her house from the evil Whistlewitch?

We loved the magical house Huswyvern, which was vividly brought to life.

This is such a lovely book! Both my daughter (who has just turned 10) and I read it. We would say Witchspark is perfect for fans of books about magic and magical houses, friendship and adventure.
