Books
You Loved: February had lots of interesting books – as
always. Some reviews that caught my eye
were:
Elizabeth from Silver's
Reviews added Traveling
Light to the collection. She
said 'TRAVELING LIGHT is a book to read when you need to be uplifted, when you
need to hear good comments about mankind, and when you just need a change of
pace that comes with beautiful, descriptive writing and marvelous characters.'
Michelle from Jarrah
Jungle brought over Cooking
For Picasso. Michelle said 'Being that the story is set in France
this is a perfect holiday read'
Miss
Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was contributed by
Marci of Stone Cottage Adventures. The review said 'I was absolutely mesmerized by this book.
It is written in first person from the perspective of Jacob Portman, a
sixteen year old boy who struggles with fitting into society where he is from.'
Silver's
Reviews also brought us Two
Days Gone. Elizabeth's review
said 'The book
kept spinning and spiraling into better and better as it became more
frightening and more tense leaving the reader with an awesome finish.'
Lastly, I found Storm
in a Teacup interesting. It was
reviewed by Doing Dewey. She said 'I’ve
long felt that my understanding of the physics everyday objects around me
is poor and this was the perfect book to remedy that. Author Helen Czerski did
an amazing job conveying why physics is so exciting to her. Her writing style
was as entertaining and conversational as the blurbs promised. She illustrated
every concept with her personal experiences, fascinating historical anecdotes,
and interesting natural phenomena'

Now for the March
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 have selected a new Blog of the Month for you – something just a bit different from my
usual selections. I have closely
followed Linda of Linda's Life
Journal for several years now – starting from just before her quad
grandkids were born – her blog is always a delight. I hope you enjoy it too. It is not a food or books blog – it is a personal journal – always entertaining
and heart-warming.
Oh dear, all of the books you describe above sound interesting. I am trying to read books I already have (hundreds of them).

I have at last got around to leaving a link. I am meeting this author at a Literary Dinner later this month and will be reading her new novel.
