Blog Tour Stop - The Finding of Martha Lost by Caroline Wallace

This is quite possibly the BEST blog tour I've ever been on! Caroline is one of my favourite authors and one of the most amazing women I have ever known! This means the world to her and I am thrilled to be part of it!!

 

WELCOME TO MY STOP ON THE BLOG TOUR FOR:

THE FINDING OF MARTHA LOST BY CAROLINE WALLACE!!!!!

 

 

 

What They Say:


Martha is lost. She's been lost since she was a baby, abandoned in a suitcase on the train from Paris. Ever since, she's waited in station lost property for someone to claim her. It's been sixteen years, but she's still hopeful. In the meantime, there are mysteries to solve: secret tunnels under the station, a suitcase that may have belonged to the Beatles, the roman soldier who appears at the same time every day with his packed lunch. Not to mention the stuffed monkey that someone keeps misplacing. But there is one mystery Martha cannot solve. And now the authorities have found out about the girl in lost property. Time is running out - if Martha can't discover who she really is, she will lose everything...



WHAT I SAY:
 
The first thing I want to say about The Finding of Martha Lost is this; this book is special. Like, really special.
 
I always struggle to find words to express how beautiful Caroline's books are. I always say she's magic and I really believe that. There is something haunting and tragic yet hopeful and joyous within the words of Martha's story and I urge you to read it.
 
Martha herself is a beautiful character. She's young and naive, sweet, endearing, hopeful, innocent and kind. I wanted nothing but good things for her. I truly feel like we could have been friends.
Elizabeth is another main character and her relationship with Martha is special and sweet. Elizabeth is older and very protective of Martha. She brings her favourite lemon drizzle cake everyday and looks out for her young friend.
 
There are a handful of other people who all help shape Martha's world, most of whom were lovely. Caroline is brilliant at building rich, likeable characters.
 
The setting of Liverpool Lime Street Station is fun and different. I had never been there before but felt like I knew it well. I loved the rich history of the station and the city. I have visited since, when I went to the launch party for the hardback edition of the book, and felt like I'd been before.
 
I loved the Beatles element of Martha's story too. You can't not like them and relate to them in some way.
 

The Finding of Martha Lost is a one-of-a-kind tale of friendship, love, hope and courage. 11/10 (Too special for a 10!)

 
Read it and see what I mean. You will be drawn in to this world too.

2015: The year of working, laughing, loving and living

Well, here we are. A week and a half into the new year. Are you all sticking to your resolutions? I am, so far. I decided that I want to be more Sparkly. That to me, means happier, nicer, more kind and caring. It means feeling good about myself and my choices. It means feeling free to love and laugh. Over the years I have lost my giggle. That was one thing my Mum told me in a letter she wrote me before she died. Never stop giggling. And I'm sad to say I did stop. People have noticed, family and friends have commented on it. My fiancé has mentioned it more than once and it was starting to cause problems. I got quite depressed and struggled on a daily basis. Books were kind of a saving grace as was Twitter. But the real world and my REAL life were shut out. So, this year I have decided to change all of that. 2015 is my year of laughing, loving, travelling, working, smiling, playing and giggling. I will still read and review, but only the books I choose. No more blog tours unl...

Welcome to my Stop on the Blog Tour for Home For Christmas by Heidi Swain! What They Say: Bella is living her best life in Wynbridge, with her beloved Spaniel, Tink. She’s found a way to keep the house she inherited from her grandparents while expanding her dream business – Away With the Fairies – and she’s ecstatic that Christmas is on the horizon!   In fact, everything is perfect until family friend, Catherine Connelly asks Bella if she’d be willing to rent part of the house to freelance author, Jude who is researching the history of the Connelly Clan and Wynthorpe Hall ahead of turning his findings into a book.
