Books
You loved: September had lots of interesting books – as
always. Some reviews that caught my eye
were:
The
Ultimate Gift (What would you do to inherit a
billion dollars?) by Jim Stovall was
reviewed by Marci from Stone Cottage
Adventures. She said 'This is a book I recommend to
anyone!'
Penguin
Problems by John & Swift was reviewed by Alyssa
from The Eater of Books! Alyssa said 'In
this book, an adorable penguin has so many complaints and problems, and it
seems like no one is listening. Life is hard, and it feels like he is shouting
into the void.'
The Paris Librarian by Mark Pryor was reviewed by Words and Peace. The review said 'I thoroughly enjoyed this new mystery by Pryor, and devoured it in no time. The author has a knack for recreating so well the ambiance of Paris, especially the streets, this time around and also in the American Library (which even has a secret door, for real!), the center of this multi-layered mystery, rich in red herrings as well.'
The
Foolish Gentlewoman by Margery Sharp was reviewed by Moira
of Clothes in Books. She said 'It's
a bittersweet, melancholy book full of ideas and thought-provoking points, but
also very funny and charming.'It's a bittersweet, melancholy book full of ideas
and thought-provoking points, but also very funny and charming.'
Finally, the wonderful Gone
Girl was reviewed by Guiltless Reading
who said 'I
know I am late in joining the Gone Girl bandwagon but I'm hopping on,
willingly, and with guns blazing. Because it's been a while since I've read a
book so utterly engrossing and so utterly ... brilliant.'

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.
You may have noticed that
I have now inserted a top page called
Books in my header. Here you will
find books that I have reviewed because I thought they were great plus a list
of books I have read but chose not to review.
It's a work in progress (now has all my book posts from 2014 to the
present).
Happy October!
An effortless read filled with twists and characters who surprise you; will leave you pondering long after you turn the last page.

ReplyDeleteIt's only Tuesday afternoon, November 1st where I am in Albany, New York and I only just managed to drop by to post my review. I'll definitely try to do better next month! I have actually read this book before, about ten years ago, although that was way before I ever thought of maintaining a book review blog ;) Thanks for everything, Carole, see you next month!
