BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: THE CURIOUS CASE OF MAGGIE MACBETH by Stacey Murray

📚 Hello Book Friend! I am so excited to be part of the blog tour for this fantastic novel: THE CURIOUS CASE OF MAGGIE MACBETH by Stacey Murray. Maggie MacBeth is no ordinary gal. She is blunt, no-nonsense, and dealing with a lot of emotional turmoil. Maggie is a strong mind woman who loves her career as a power lawyer for an oil company in Hong Kong. But after a disagreement with her boss, Maggie finds herself without a job and decides to show up at her best friend Cath’s doorstep unannounced. Promising to find another job, Maggie tips into hard times. Cath welcomes Maggie at first, but she has her own issues and soon starts to regret her decision. Through many stressful events, they both will rediscover their friendship and Maggie’s feet will soon find solid ground to start anew.

This is a beautiful story of friendship, love, loss, and finding purpose. There are many fun moments in the book and many sad too. This is a wonderful book.

💌 My Rating: ❤❤❤❤/5

✏ Synopsis: Sometimes you have to take the law into your own hands…

After unexpectedly losing her high-powered job in Hong Kong, forty-something widow, Maggie Macbeth, turns up on the doorstep of her old sidekick, Cath, in the sleepy Peak District village of Archdale. A fish out of water, Maggie comes into conflict with everyone and everything — especially Cath’s awful friend Tiggy – and rock bottom is just around the corner. But it turns out Maggie isn’t the only one in trouble, and when a crisis hits the local community, Maggie has a choice: to give up on life, or to go back to her legal roots and fight for justice. But can she save the day as well as herself?

This laugh-out-loud debut novel shows that no battle is too big when you’ve got friends on your side.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her by Liz Plum My rating: 3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves by Ingrid Chabbert My rating: 5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
