So how did your reading month pan out?
Wow! You've had a busy reading month. I've added The Color of Light to my reading list. I'm not sure if I will read 1-3 first though. Thanks for sharing your month in review.
ReplyDeleteAnother great month for you! I am anxious to see what you'll think of the new Chamberlain book. Her stuff is hit or miss with me.
ReplyDeleteI hope August will be good too!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great month for books! A few I'd like to read!
ReplyDeleteHappy August reading!
I love Emilie Richards. I'm a bit behind on her books but they're always some of my favorites. Her quilting series was my favorite - especially the first one - and I loved the Whiskey Island as well. Looks like July was a great reading month. Hope August is just as great!
ReplyDeleteKatherine
DeleteI loved her quilting series too very much. This one is excellent as well. Not quite so keen on the Whiskey Island one for some reason.
Great month Kathryn!!! How was A Hundred Summers on audio? That was one of my favorite books by Beatriz Summers - though I have loved all her books!!! I still need to read Me Before You - I have it and really want to read it, but know it's a bit sad and keep putting it off. Maybe I'll take it on vacation next week - I know I'm going to love it once I start reading it! I have the new Diane Chamberlain book and the new Linda Lael Miller one, too - love that we read so many similar books!!!
ReplyDeleteThe audio of A Hundred Summers was very good and so that made it all the more dramatic and enjoyable. Me Before You wasn't as sad as it sounds.
DeleteYou had a great reading month. I want to read the Cathy Lamb book -
ReplyDeleteOh I totally agree with you about Emilie Richards The Color of Light. I love all her novels whether series or stand alones! Looks like you had a great month!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear of another Emilie Richards reader fan!
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had wonderful month of reading. This is my first time joining. Have a great day!
Welcome in Sherrie, thanks for joining.
Deletewow, great month! only got 7 this time. I loved Bitter Greens, I hope you saw the musicall Into The Woods, Rapunzel is in it, really cool. Emma (link #8)
ReplyDeleteYes Bitter Greens was great and now she has another one out now or if not soon. Will catch up with it eventually.
DeleteThe Color Coded Reading Challenge looks interesting! It would take some time to figure out books with a color in the name, but maybe not, I've never really thought about it before! :) Thanks for hosting Month in Review!
ReplyDeleteI just had to be alert for books that fitted. In the end it was not that difficult to find ones I wanted to read. Thanks for joining in!
DeleteGreat reading month. Hope you enjoyed the Eloisa James book.
ReplyDeleteI did indeed enjoy it Nise. She is a marvel. I haven't read a lot of her books as I chose contemps over historical but hers are a delight.

ReplyDeleteGreat month! I can't wait to read my copy of Pretending to Dance. Brown Eyed Girl looks good, too.
I'm always so impressed by your reading progress each month. Do you have any advice for someone (namely me ha!) who would like to increase their progress? All the best to you in August.
ReplyDeleteThe think is Melissa I am retired so my time is my own. I am relishing it as up until last year I was teaching. So no help! I do keep a calendar of what I have to review and then my tbr works around that. I try not to request too many reveiw books but.... And next year I am not going to enter so many reading challenges.
DeleteI followed Kristin (from Always With a Book) over here. I like the idea of linking up the monthly summaries -- thanks for starting this meme. I've not read any of the books you completed in July, but I see a couple of ones that interest me, written by authors I have enjoyed. In particular Emilie Richards and Jane Green.
