Books You Loved: June continued to provide reviews of great books. Thank you to all. Here are a few that caught my eye, starting with non-fiction this month:
ALS
Saved My Life… Until It Didn't by Dr Jenni Kleinman
Berebitsky was reviewed by Angela from A
Mama's Corner of the World. She said
'The author offers tips
for self-realization and acceptance along with a story of triumph against the
odds from which most all of us could gain positive life insights.
Along with her personal reflections and advice--readers will also read honest,
real observations and stories from Jenni's family and caregivers. This novel is
one of the best books I have read in a long, long time. '
Anna
of Kleve – Queen of Secrets by Alison Weir was brought
over by Tracey of Carpe Librum. She said
'In this historical fiction imagining of her life in
the 1500s, Weir has provided an alternate history for Anna of Kleve and I
predict it will be a polarising one for fans of Tudor history… we stay with her
beyond this turning point in her life all the way through until King Henry's
death in 1547 and her own death a decade later in 1557.'
Doing
Dewey brought over The Editor
by Steven Rowley. Her post said 'I enjoyed this
heartwarming story, with fun dialogue and convincing relationships.'
Melissa
reviewed
The
Things You Save In A Fire by Katherine Center. She said 'The story was excellent the entire way through. I loved
the humorous aspects, as well as the sentimental parts.'
Now on to the July
edition. There are no rules for this
party. The only requirement is that your
post 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. Mr Linky now also
makes you tick a box.
I'll be pinning your links to this Pinboard to make it easier for you to check
them out at a glance. It also has links
from previous July's…
Thanks for July's edition.

ReplyDeleteAs promised this month I have an abundance of great reading to share with you: First the engaging, turn-of-the-century classic Howards End by E. M. Forster, the gripping historical fiction By Sword and Storm by Margaret Skea and the wonderful biography Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI had five 5-star reads in June. I couldn't decide which one(s) to feature, so I gave you links to all! Cheers and happy reading.
ReplyDeleteSorry No Exit got on twice (Gerard and I both read and liked it). I got error the first time I tried so did it again. These linky things are sometimes goofy.
ReplyDeleteHi Carole, I've linked to 4 books I've rad recently. The combination of a long weekend, wet weather & a flu bug opened up some opportunities for a bit of reading :) Colour Scheme was written by the golden age Kiwi author, Ngaio Marsh.
ReplyDeleteI have several books to share and will add them as soon as I get the reviews written-:(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing my review from last month! No worries about posting late - I love that your email always lets me know when the link-up is posted so any date is equally good :)
ReplyDelete"The Pianist from Syria" was one of my favourite books in the last couple of months. A Palestinian refugee who lives through the war in Syria and ends up in Germany. Wonderfully written. Tells us a lot about the horrors of a war but also gives us hope.
