It's June already – how is that possible!...
Books
You Loved: May continued to provide reviews of great books.
Thank you to all. Here are a few that caught my eye:
Redhead
by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler was
contributed by Dorothy of The Nature of Things. Her review said 'Anne Tyler is a
wonderful creator of characters and many of her best characters are men. I
would rate Micah right up there with some of her most memorable like the
brothers in Dinner at the Homesick
Restaurant or Macon Leary in The
Accidental Tourist. He is an oddball and a bit of a fussbudget who lives
a rigid life that is about to be disrupted and thrown completely out of balance
by circumstances.'
The
Secrets of Love Story Bridge by Phaedra Patrick was
brought over by Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews.
Her post said 'Ms. Patrick has written another heartwarming book with
characters you will fall in love with and a story line that will keep you
turning the pages. .. A truly enjoyable read. 5/5'
Miss
Austen by Gill Hornby was brought over by My Jane
Austen Book Club. The review said 'You can’t miss it, it’s an absolute must
for any Janeite. It’s also a delightful,
clever, entertaining read, perfect for finding some solace and escape in these
troubling times. You’ll find comfort and joy entering the daily life of the two
young Austen sisters and their family. You’ll feel the bittersweet melancholy
of Cassandra doing her best to preserve her beloved sister’s reputation, while
making a balance of her own choices and her own life.'
Finally, Big
Summer by Jennifer Weiner was reviewed by Melissa of Chick Lit
Central. She said 'This was a great
story about a complicated friendship and whether or not people can change from
who they used to be. ..I enjoyed it thoroughly .... It's the perfect summer
read and a great escape from our current reality.'
Now on to the June
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 Junes…
