Book Reviews 2019











 

My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow, this was a really wonderful book. I really loved it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have read all of the Agatha Raisin books and enjoyed them, so I was absolutely delighted to get a free copy of this new book, Beating About the Bush, from Netgalley. Thank you so much!

The book was amazing. I found it to be the funniest book I have ever read and I was laughing so much all the way through. I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the writing. It was interesting to see how Agatha's love life developed, which was different from what I thought it would be, but still enjoyable. It was the best Agatha Raisin book I have read and I had a fun 2 days reading it. I felt like I was on a holiday with old friends, having an adventure. 


Thanks again to Netgalley, M C Beaton and her publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 5 stars


I really enjoyed this wonderful book about Mindfulness and Meditation. It is a book for young people, but as an adult, I also found it very useful. It has a lot of information and wisdom in it on what mindfulness and meditation actually is and where it originated from, as well as lots of practical exercises and meditations to try. I had a lot of fun doing all the little meditations and I learned a lot from them. I highly recommend this book to everyone, and not just young people, but I can see how young people would really benefit from it in a big way. It would be a great handbook for all teenagers and it should be available in schools, as it would really help young people with their mental health.


Thanks so much to Netgalley for allowing me to read this great book in return for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow, what a great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. As a Scorpio myself, I found myself agreeing with mostly everything the author was saying. I highly recommend this book to all Scorpios or parents of Scorpio children. The book was only 96 pages long, but I gained a lot of interesting information and knowledge from it that will help me with both understanding myself and understanding my children.. Thanks so much to Netgalley for allowing me to read this wonderful book for free, in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 4 stars


This is a cute little book with beautiful graphics, that shows the wonderful and close relationship that two sisters have with each other, as well as the relationship they have with their mother. The youngest sister in the book is blind and it was nice to see how her older sister looked after her. I enjoyed reading this book with my daughter and she enjoyed the graphics very much. The book is suitable for children aged 4-8. Thanks to Netgalley for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 4 stars


I enjoyed this spooky ghost story from Peter James. Normally I read his thrillers, but this was a nice change from them. I found the story quite fun. It was different from the books I usually read, but I liked it and I would read another one of his spooky stories. Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.


My Recommendation - 5 stars

I enjoyed this book a lot and I will now look to read more books by Christie Barlow. Thanks to Netgalley for the arc of this great book!


My Recommendation - 3 stars


This is the first time I have ever read a Sweet Valley High book. I enjoyed it, especially as it had good art work and I loved how it was modern, with smartphones and social media woven into it. The story itself was interesting and would be good for young people. Thanks to Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this graphic novel.


My Recommendation - 4 stars


I really enjoyed this book and I found the medical aspects of it very interesting. 

I loved the relationship between Poe and Tilly, especially the humour, which made me laugh. They are both loveable characters and they work well together. 


I highly recommend this book. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book!


My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow, I really loved this book. It was a beautiful love story and it was so sweet. I really enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!


My Recommendation - 5 stars


Wow, what a wonderful book! I just loved it. I have read nearly all of Karin Slaughter's books over the years and I can say that this is her best book so far. There was so much detail in the book and a lot of information that Karin had thoroughly researched. I found it very interesting and I learned a lot. I really enjoyed the love story between Will and Sara and the relationship Will had with her family. I give this book a well deserved 5 stars and I can't wait for Karin's next book. Thank you very much to Netgalley for gifting me an arc of this great book. I really appreciated it and I enjoyed it very much!
