Books You Loved: August
continued to provide reviews of great books. Thank you to all. Here are a few
that caught my eye:
Words and Peace posted about Smoking Kills - I loved this one too and posted about it here. The post summed the book up by saying 'Quirky story, as the French know how to do, with a good dose of dark comedy, by a skilled and entertaining writer.'
Turtles
All The Way Down by John Green was brought over by Captivated Reader. She said '
I'm once again amazed by John Green's writing. I am glad that I read Turtles All The Way Down. I enjoyed
the storyline and the characters for this tightly written novel, which features
a leading female character named, Aza, who has OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder). '
Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews posted about The
Subway Girls – she said 'THE
SUBWAY GIRLS has everything historical fiction and women's fiction fans will
love. …
The book goes back and forth from the 1940’s to 2018. The story line connects smoothly with each era and has genuine, lovable, and relatable characters.
It is truly a book to savor and enjoy. 5/5'

Tracey of Carpe
Librum brought us The
Peacock Summer by Hannah Richell – she said 'The Peacock Summer is definitely for fans of Kate Morton and those who
enjoy historical fiction. Highly recommended. I'm just sad it's over.'
Now on to the September(!)
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. As a bonus the books reviewed last September
are also on that board.
Thank you once again for highlighting one of my book reviews from last month in your Books You Loved: September Edition. Happy reading to you this month, Carole!
