First – Happy New Year!
Books
You Loved: December continued to provide reviews of great
books. Thank you to all. Here are a few that caught my eye:
I could go into more detail, but I really don’t
want to. I want you to discover it on your own.'
Annelies
by
David R Gillham was contributed by Elizabeth from Silver's Reviews. She said 'ANNELIES is about
Anne Frank and describes what the author thinks she would have been like had
she lived…ANNELIES is a beautiful, heartfelt book you will want to absorb with
attention to every detail.
Anne seems as though she was and would have been a feisty young lady that the world has missed and could have learned from. 5/5'

Seven
Days of Us by Francesca Hornak was reviewed by Tina
from Novel Meals. Tina said (and I agree) that this was 'A
fun dysfunctional family drama for the holidays!'
Dorothy from The
Nature of Things brought over the latest VI Warshawski – The
Shell Game. Dorothy said 'What can I say?
V.I. just gets better and better. This one was definitely one of my favorites
in the series.'
For something different, Marci from Stone Cottage Adventures reviewed The
Little Book of Lykke and said 'We all want to be happy, right?
This is such a sweet little book with practical advice on how to make that
happen. I especially loved the ideas for bringing neighbors together with
ways of sharing what we each have. There is also a section about how to
visit with strangers. My favorite quote from this book is, "Hand out smiles and friendly remarks.
They are free." ' I've ordered this one from
the library.
Now on to the January
edition. There are no rules for this
party. The only requirement is that your
post 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. Mr Linky now also makes you
tick a box.
I'll be pinning your links to this Pinboard to make it easier for you to check
them out at a glance. It also has links
from previous Januaries…
Lots of suspects and a good mystery,too. Authors beware!

ReplyDeleteThank you for mentioning "The Little Book of Lykke". It's actually the inspiration for my 2019 resolution of sharing with my neighbors. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteI had only one five-star read in December and I've given you a link to that - Florida by Lauren Groff. It's a collection of short stories either set in or with a connection to the Sunshine State. Happy reading in 2019!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Sadly, I am seriously behind on my reviews, so I have nothing to link in this month. Hopefully, will have caught and have plenty to share with you all next month.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, and here's to discovering a plethora of new favourite books in 2019!
ReplyDeleteMy review for The Beautiful Strangers somehow had my review for The Dream Daughter linked instead. Here's the correct one: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2577882908?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1
