Books You Loved: March had
some very interesting books – as always.
Some reviews that caught my eye were:
Tina of Novel
Meals brought over The Chilbury Ladies' Choir by Jennifer
Ryan. She said 'The stories are told through diary
entries from several points of view as well as letters penned to friends and
loved ones. As you read bits and pieces the story lines dovetail into a
fairly satisfying conclusion – tales of affairs, deception, blackmail,
love, bravery and great sadness. If your
reading tastes include stories set in the WW II era in England and you like a
journal and letter writing format – you will LOVE this book.'
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
was reviewed by Elizabeth of Books I
Think You Should Read. The review
said 'Big
Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and
daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves
just to survive.'
Marianne of Let's
Read reviewed her favourite book The Children's War by J.N Stroyar. Her
review said 'Have
you ever wondered what would have happened if the Nazis had won? Well, J. R.
Stroyar gives us a pretty good idea …
I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. The story is completely intriguing, the characters are described in the best possible way, they really are characters, every single one of them, even the description of the landscape that usually is just added to the story is so interesting, you want to devour every single word. There are some very powerful scenes where you think you are part of this book, you can hardly put it down.'
Now on to the April
collection. Remember the posts you link
in don't have to be recent and the book
concerned 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.
Carole - thanks for featuring my Big Little Lies review :) that was actually part of the synopsis that you quote here, but I agree with it - it was a very good book, and I loved the miniseries this past month as well.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Carole.
Just want to say thank you to all of you for your book reviews. I don't post reviews but I read A LOT, so I love stopping by these monthly lists to get some reading ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing an interesting English historical novel - The Witchfinder's Sister by Beth Underdown, which is about the witch finder, Matthew Hopkins. I loved reading this debut book by a talented new author.
