It's the first Wednesday in the month again. So, it's Books
You Loved time.
Books
You Loved: September was another great collection. Some reviews that caught my eye were:
Tracey of Carpe Librum linked in The
Taming of the Queen by Phillipa Gregory. She said 'The Taming of the Queen is expertly written and easily one of my favourite books of the
year.'
I agree β a fabulously interesting book about the marriage of Katherine
Parr and Henry VIII.
Bermuda Onion's Weblog brought over Kitchens
of the Great Midwest. This is a novel.
She said 'tells the story of Eva Thorvald, a young woman who
overcomes a tragic childhood to become a creative, inventive, and well-known
chef. .. I adored this book β itβs sure to make my list of favorites for
the year.'
Guiltless Reading reviewed Baker's
Blues by Judith Ryan Hendricks.
She said 'Alternately depressing
and inspiring, and interspersed with plenty descriptions of the power of food
to heal, I'd recommend this novel to foodie fiction lovers, women's fiction
readers, and those who want a better understanding of the dynamics of
depression.'
And now for something
different! Everyday Fashions
of the Thirties reviewed by Marci of Stone Cottage Adventures. This is a wonderful picture book, as Marci
says, showing clothing through the pages of Sears' catalogues.
Now for the October
collection. Remember the post doesn't
have to be a recent one and the book 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.
I hope you discover some great books to read β I always
do!
I added two book entries this month, Carole. Regards, and thanks for this meme.

I read Dead Men Play the Game by Jacqui Jacoby and enjoyed it. Left the link to Paranormal Romance Reviews for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole! *saw your picture at NZ Writers*
Thanks Carole. Enjoy October!
ReplyDeleteJust added mine. One is on Goodreads, as I didn't review it at my blog (per a new featuring policy I have), but I want readers to know about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention for last month Carole. Sadly I haven't read anything worthy of the list this month, so will just have to check out a few others on the list :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting -- just added two reviews of books I truly loved. I'm having fun looking at all the other reviews now!
ReplyDeleteAnother great book by Swedish author Fredrik Backman!

ReplyDeleteHi there! Just added the link to "Lucky Dawg Meets Lucky Lucy". I didn't know I should have put the title in where it asked for name. I put MY name in there. Any way to fix that? It's Romance, and that IS one of my biggest loves in life... :-)
ReplyDeleteEd

Hello Carole,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to link up my favorite book for October. It was a reread, but I also linked in my original review from 2011. Somehow I screwed up my post and misquoted the title of the book. Lol! Anyway, the last two entries are the right ones #61 and #62.
