THANK YOU AMANDA & BECKY from TheMommyIsland & TheKidsDitIT for this Giveaway Hop!
On MY Stop, I am offering THREE AWESOME BOOKS!! Two are Adult Non-Fictions and One is a Teen/YA Novel. I am so appreciative of John Hunt Publishing & to Looking Glass Creative Digital  Marketing for their generous support!
These first TWO books - provided by John Hunt Publishing - are very intriguing & entertaining non-fiction publications.
Is the Poltergeist 'Syndrome' the only type of paranormal phenomena that can really be proven?   -   There are few factual books written about poltergeist phenomena, John's Fraser's Poltergeist!

Poltergeist! a New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting: Including "the Cage - Witches Prison" St Osyth by John Fraser
Paperback, 296 pages | ISBN:1789043972 (ISBN13: 9781789043976)
Expected publication: August 1st 2020 by 6th Books

Synopsis:
       A New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting fills that void, advancing and updating Colin Wilson's work Poltergeist!, this study's namesake from over 38 years ago. Fraser takes readers on a journey from the Borley Rectory to the Isle of Man, and grounds his readers in an historical overview of 'Poltergeist phenomena'. He examines where such events overlap with other paranormal investigations of 'apparitional' ghosts. What do they have in common, what do they differ?
      To answer this, Fraser looks to new research on paranormal events, never before published in book form. Fraser contends, perhaps controversially, that ghost sightings are and always will be ambiguous and near-impossible to prove, that only Poltergeist phenomena can be empirically verified.

A man, his dog, and a long walk can lead to unexpected discoveries. In the tradition of many literary walkers, David W. Berner sets out on foot hoping to reexamine his life, look back and forward, and most importantly, through the help of his young dog, Sam, try to find harmony in new beginnings and the uncertainties of the present.


In a series of chapters, each dedicated to one walk during a summer of hiking, the author finds that it is his beloved pet that allows him to awaken to a new spirit of mindfulness, finding beauty, wonder, and comfort in the ordinary, and to see a life, a neighborhood, and even a country with brand new eyes.
Walks with Sam is available through John Hunt Publishing, Amazon, Kindle, Barnes and Noble and wherever books are sold.

A GIRL IN THREE PARTS by Suzanne Daniel
(Teen/YA Version of Allegra)
​Published by Knopf Books for Young Readers
Apr 14, 2020 | 320 Pages |  ISBN 9781984851079

SYNOPSIS:
Allegra Elsom is caught in the middle. Some days she’s eleven, and others she feels closer to nineteen. Some days she knows too much, and others she feels hopelessly naive. Some days she is split in three, torn between conflicting loyalties to her grandmothers, Matilde and Joy, and her father, Rick–none of whom can stand to be in a room together since the decades-old tragedy that hit their family like a wrecking ball.

Allegra struggles to make peace in her family and navigate the social gauntlet at school while asking bigger questions about her place in the world: What does it mean to be “liberated”? What is it about “becoming a woman” that earns her a slap in the face? What does it mean to do the right thing, when everyone around her defines it differently?

As the feminist movement reshapes her Sydney suburb, Allegra makes her own path–discovering firsthand the incredible ways that women can support each other, and finding strength within herself to stand up to the people she loves.

Readers will not soon forget Suzanne Daniel’s poignant debut, or the spirit of sisterhood that sings out from its pages.
