Blogiversary Giveaway #14: Your choice from Louise's top 4 this year


As regular followers of Sharon’s blog will know, she has kindly hosted many of my book reviews on her blog which has been a wonderful experience for me where I’ve managed to discover so many amazing books and their authors and also develop a friendship with Sharon which at times has been a life line to me on dark days. 

I know social media can be a scary and sometimes threatening place (luckily I have only been witness to this so far) but I am so thankful that discovering Sharon and her blog has meant that there has always been a friendly place on the internet where I can go and surround myself with good thoughts and books so thank you very much Sharon.  I’ve also been lucky enough to meet up with Sharon a few times in real life and our friendship is testament to the fact that you don’t have to see someone every day for them to be an important part of your world. 

Anyhoo in celebration of five years of the wonderful place that is Sharon’s blog I have rounded up the books this year that I have rated five stars and am offering one person the chance to win one book of their choice from my selections below. 

Good luck and has Tess and Claudia would say “Keeeeeeep reading!”

Louise's Review: The Museum of You by Carys Bray

Reviewed by Louise Wykes

Clover Quinn was a surprise. She used to imagine she was the good kind, now she’s not sure. She’d like to ask Dad about it, but growing up in the saddest chapter of someone else’s story is difficult. She tries not to skate on the thin ice of his memories. 

Darren has done his best. He's studied his daughter like a seismologist on the lookout for waves and surrounded her with everything she might want - everything he can think of, at least - to be happy.

What Clover wants is answers. This summer, she thinks she can find them in the second bedroom, which is full of her mother's belongings. Volume isn't important, what she is looking for is essence; the undiluted bits: a collection of things that will tell the full story of her mother, her father and who she is going to be. 

But what you find depends on what you're searching for.
