You Loved: November continued to provide reviews of great books. Thank you
to all. Here are a few that caught my eye:
The
Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay was
reviewed by Stray Thoughts. Her
review said 'Katherine’s books all contain a wealth of literary
references, usually to classics. With this story revolving about a bookshop and
stories, literary references flow delightfully freely.'
Chick
Lit Central posted about the new JoJo Moyes – The Giver of Stars. Melissa said 'The Giver of Stars
was engaging and
difficult to put down. The story was very interesting. I never knew about the
traveling libraries until now. … I
definitely recommend checking it out for a cozy night in front of a fire this
autumn.'
Jessica of The Bookworm
Chronicles brought over a classic – Persuasion
by Jane Austen. The post said 'I think Persuasion is a beautiful,
delicate and heartbreaking classic about love lost and love won. All written
with Austen’s careful, ironic observations on the people, etiquette and society
of Regency England'
And now for a graphic memoir by Mr Sulu (aka George
Takei). Thanks to Captivated Reader for bringing They
Called Us Enemy to our attention.
The review said 'I wanted to read it and learn about Takei's firsthand
experience living in an internment camp with his family while he was a
boy.
The artwork for They Called Us Enemy by George Takei is stunning as well'

A quick reminder of my own post about a simply stunning
book – The
Choice by Dr Edith Eva Egar.
Now on to the December
edition – last one for the year. 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 Decembers…
Done. Thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteThis one wasa fun. She's writing under an assumed name and the highway man wants to meet the author...
ReplyDeletethanks, happy holidays to all
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder--usually I am on the lookout for it, but this time I had forgotten completely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring The Printed Letter Bookshop! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season.
Thank you for the mention, Carole :-) Sadly I can't link anything in this month, as I am sooo far behind with my review writing. Hopefully I will be back in January with lots of books to share with you!
