Books You Loved: August continued to provide reviews of great books. Thank you to all. Here are a few
that caught my eye:
Dorothy from The
Nature of Things reviewed City
of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Her review said 'the story of a
solitary and strong, if conflicted, woman who chose to live her life as she saw
fit outside the norms that were expected of women in her era proved to be a
very worthwhile read … it's about an independent woman making a life for
herself in the manner that she chose and doing the best that she can to live an
ethical life without hypocrisy.' I
really enjoyed this one.
Twice
in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren was brought over by
Elizabeth of Books I Think You Should
Read. The post said 'With Christina Lauren’s signature “beautifully written
and remarkably compelling” (Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author)
prose and perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, Twice in a Blue Moon is an unforgettable and moving
novel of young love and second chances.'
The
Last Book Party by Karen Dukess was reviewed by A Southern Girl's Bookshelf. The review said 'The Last Book Party drew me in with the promise of all things
literary and it didn't disappoint. We get a glimpse of this world but also so
much more, Eve is a young woman who just wants to do what she loves, which is
writing and being around all these great writers is something she could only
dream of. However, this life she thought she wanted isn't so wonderful as she
had imagined and realizes there has to be a better way.'
Finally, for the art lovers among you, Debbie from Different Time, Different Place Book
Reviews brought us The
Story of Painting by DK. I've
got this out of the library and am starting it soon. The post said 'found this book a very informative and enjoyable read.
I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about art history'
Now on to the September
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 Septembers…
Thanks for the link!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out. I'm glad you enjoyed City of Girls as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteI brought you two books so far. I may add another one.
ReplyDeleteWhat She Saw is by a new to me author. It’s a very good and quick read. I think most of you might enjoy it. It’s on KU also. She really needs more reviews if anyone is willing to read it and review it.

Another new to me author. I really enjoyed this book also. I would read the first one before this but you don’t have it. It just has things that you’ll understand in the second one. https://lsmoore49.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-missing-ones-by-edwin-hill.html
ReplyDeleteI couldn't link the book so am putting it here for September
ReplyDeleteThe Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Blythell

Hello Carole, this month I have linked in the mythological fantasy Runemarks by Joanne M Harris, historical fiction A Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory and the children's classic A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
ReplyDeleteI usually try to mention a ficitional book but I had to mention a non-fiction this month. What a brilliant book about what our future could be.
ReplyDeleteHEARTS OF FIRE is non-fiction accounts of 8 women from different countries who were persecuted for being Christians. I didn't realize how widespread Christian persecution is until I read this. It also inspired me to donate my extra Bibles.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I both liked THE ESCAPE ROOM a lot! It's a thriller.
ReplyDeleteDone. Thanks for the shout-out!
