Books You Loved: October
continued to provide reviews of great books. Thank you to all. Here are a few
that caught my eye:
Tina from Novel
Meals wrote about Lethal
White by Robert Galbraith. She
said 'The
multiple cases and how they were juggled kept my interest, I don’t know how
Galbraith/Rowling keeps all that straight and weaves it all together.' The author is, of course, JK Rowling – so very
talented.
Dorothy from The
Nature of Things brought us Presidio
by Randy Kennedy. She said 'Presidio is a terrific example of
Texas noir, with an engaging and somewhat unexpected main character who is a
professional car thief.' I read this one based on
her review and enjoyed it a whole lot.
Melissa reviewed The Dream Daughter
by Diane Chamberlain. She said 'The Dream Daughter is an excellent
story. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next and
worrying about the characters when I had to step away to attend to real life.
Sometimes I thought I knew what was going to happen, but then I'd get thrown
for a loop. Diane's writing drew me in and didn't let go. I am still thinking
about it almost two weeks later!'
Elizabeth from Silver's
Reviews posted about The
Lost Carousel of Provence by
Juliet Blackwell. She said 'A charming, heart-warming read…The characters
were lovely, and the story line was creative, uplifting, and positive…France,
carousels, lovable characters, and a marvelous story line. '
Now on to the November
edition. 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.
Had about 42 read last month, tx for the email.

DeleteWhoa, I'm impressed with the fact that you've read 42 books in a single month!!
Delete42 books in a month, woah, that's amazing!! That's more than 1 a day, how do you do it?
DeleteThis was a very good historical read.
ReplyDeleteYippee that it is time for this awesome monthly post, but time goes too quickly.
ReplyDeleteCarole, this month I have linked in the spooky Cauldstane by Linda Gillard and the dystopian Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, the second book in Collins' Hunger Games trilogy.
ReplyDeleteMy first Spark of Light review accidentally linked to the wrong review. Can you remove it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out!
All fixed!
DeleteThanks, Carole! Great to be joining the party here once again!
ReplyDeleteAlways love sharing about books!
ReplyDeleteHere you go, Carole.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I both read LET ME LIE but I enjoyed the BARTERED BRIDE ROMANCE COLLECTION more.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carole. I do enjoy linking up & checking out the books others read.
ReplyDeleteHi, Carol. I'm so glad you read Presidio and that you liked it. It's always a pleasure to meet a new and very good writer. This month I've given you links to four remarkable books that I read in October and they are by four remarkable women writers. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI added The Au Pair by Emma Rous. That was pretty good. Thank you for sharing the Lethal White review :-) She's an excellent writer!
ReplyDeleteI love DREAM DAUGHTER by Diane Chamberlain too! I finished it the last day in November so guess I should have waited for the December edition to come up. Sorry.
