Books You Loved: July Edition




Books You Loved: June continued to provide news of great books.  Here are some that caught my eye:

Tracey of Carpe Librum wrote about Book Of Colours by Robyn Cadwallader.  She said 'Book of Colours is an historical fiction novel by Australian author Robyn Cadwallader  …A noblewoman has commissioned the creation of a book of hours - a decorated medieval manuscript - and the novel is about the stationer's shop lucky enough to secure the valuable commission and the people who illuminate the pages.'

When Life Gives You Lululemons by Lauren Weisberger was reviewed by Melissa of Chick Lit Central.  She said the book 'is deliciously snarky and humorous throughout.'

The Way of Beauty by Camille de Maio was brought over by Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews.  Elizabeth said 'another amazing, warm, heartfelt, well-researched, detailed book, that takes you with the characters on their journey and into their lives.'

Finally, some non-fiction – Giftwrapped by Jane Means.  Carpe Librum's review said 'It's the sort of book I love to flip through and the photographs are wonderful. The book is full of mood boards and inspirational techniques, as well as some instructions on how to achieve the same results yourself at home.'

Now on to the July collection.  Remember the posts you link in don't have to be recent and the book concerned doesn't have to have been recently published or read.  The only requirement is that it is about a book that you loved.

To add to the list just pop the name of the book (and your name/blog name if you like) into the first Mr Linky box and then copy and paste the url of your post about it into the second box.

I'll be pinning your links to this Pinboard to make it easier for you to check them out at a glance.  As a bonus the books reviewed last June are also on that board.

  6. There's been so many incredible releases of late but I couldn't go past Save the Date by Morgan Matson. Hilariously cute and recommended for fans of Father of The Bride and Meet The Fockers. Hope you're having a wonderful month of reading Carole! ♥♥♥

  7. Thanks Carole. Added a link to a trilogy I read over the past couple of months, Kristin Lavransdatter. A bit of a mouthful & definitely a saga but very readable!

  8. Gerard was really impressed with LIFE IN A JAR about a school project telling the story of a lady during the Holocaust helping lots of children to escape. Karen was into some youth sports books and loved QB 1 about the younger son feeling extra pressure to do as well as his dad and older brother did as a quarterback.

  12. Thanks so much for mentioning two of my books in the June summary, they were fantastic reads. My favourite reading this month was Dear Fahrenheit 451 - A Librarian's Love Letters and Break-Up Notes to Her Books. It's the perfect book for booklovers like us :-)
