For 2025 I have decided to have a go at Spell the Month in Books which is hosted at Reviews From the Stacks. The link party opens on the first Saturday of the month, but I won't be posting until after that as I already have other things scheduled every Saturday and for the first two Sundays of the month. I will be sharing this post with Sunday Salon hosted at Readerbuzz.
The idea is that you use the title of books to spell the month name. The theme for June is Books that you found or currently see at the library! Once again I am grateful to my past self who used to record where her books came from and so I was able to find my books for this prompt. These days I record it in a different place.
So here are my choices for June
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey - This is a coming of age story set in Western Australia. I liked this one but I still haven't read anything more by him!
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand - I remember being so moved by this book.
Naked in Death by J.D. Robb - I read the first 18 books in this series, and then just kind of stopped without really meaning too. It does astonish me that there are currently 60 books in the series with at least another two to come. Given that J D Robb also writes as Nora Roberts, it's pretty astonishing really. (My review)
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - Oh, this book! When I was doing this post I went back and found my review of this book. Sometimes, when I read old reviews I am surprised by them, and so it was with this review! The book clearly impacted me at the time.(My Review)
July's theme is Set in a fantasy world or fictional place.
Will you be joining us?
The "U" is tricky - I don't have many books that begin with U! I loved Eleanor & Park and remember getting tearful listening to the audio book.
ReplyDeleteI was working for the publisher when Nora Roberts started the In Death series. They made her use a different name because it was futuristic (not as popular) and they didn't want to hurt her sales of other books. I remember thinking I wouldn't like it but found the first book especially memorable. I have picked up 30 or so at library book sales but got worn out about #22, although I still read all her mainstream fiction.
