Before
getting onto this month's collection of Books
You Loved, here are a few of last month's reviews that caught my eye:
Andi from Estella's Revenge reviewed The
Martian by Andy Weir. She said 'I had to
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! Thus, the staying up past my bedtime. If you're looking for
a book that will suck you in straight away and keep you engaged, this is the
one!'
(Ps –
I have now read this myself and can confirm it is a fantastic read)
Find
Momo was reviewed
by guiltless reader. She said 'An
utterly adorable, absorbing, and entertaining coffeetable book featuring the
winning combination of an adorable border collie, beautiful photography and
travel, all rolled into a Where's Waldo concept. Go! Go Find Momo!'
Blog of Erised reviewed The
Help by Kathryn Stockett. Ula
said 'I adored this book so much, and I was hooked from the
absolute start. The book is absolutely unputdownable'
Shauna from I Love to Read and Review Books posted about Miss
Armistead Makes Her Choice by Heidi Ashworth. She said 'Oh how I LOVE a good Regency Romance!
And this one is SO. SO. SO. GOOD!'

Now on to
the new collection. Remember the review can
be a recent or old one. The only rule is
that it was a book that you loved!
To add a
book to the collection, just pop the name of the book into the first Mr Linky box
(along with your blog name/name if you like) and paste the url for your post
about it into the second box.
I'll be
pinning the reviews as they come in to this Pinboard. It will make it easier for you to choose
which books you are interested in checking out in more detail.
I found The Shadow Year captivating from page one, with much of what I love in good women's fiction: quite a bit of mystery, a touch of suspense, and loads of relational tension.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Garden Plot. It was a good murder mystery that had a budding romance going on. The ending is special...
ReplyDeleteThanks for another opportunity to share our favorite books.
ReplyDeleteI've had a great reading month! Thanks for the link-up Carol :)
