CAROLE'S BOOK CORNER: Month of July - Reading Review and Plans for August

Sunday, 3 August 2014

I read six books this month, which is a pretty good total for me!
There was a nice mix of mystery, fiction and a short story, including one book that's been on my eReader for a couple of years which I finally got round to reading - Coffee at Little Angels.

1. Pressed Pennies by Steven Manchester (Part of a Book tour)

2. Fatal Act by Leigh Russell (Real Readers)

3. The Garden Plot by Marty Wingate (NetGalley)

4. The Night Before by Luanne Rice (short story from NetGalley)

5. A Sixpenny Song by Jennifer Johnston (Bookbridgr)

6. Coffee at Little Angels by Nadine Rose Larter (author)

I enjoyed them all, apart from A Sixpenny Song which I was a little disappointed with, and I'd have to say my favourite would be The Garden Plot. This was the first in a new cozy mystery series about a Texan ex-pat gardener now based in London, England and I'm looking forward to reading the next instalment!

I also took part in seven Virtual Book Tours where I highlighted but didn't review the books. These were

1. Birds of the Nile by Nick David

2. Letter from Paris by Therese

3. Locks: Rapunzel Unhinged by Sarah J Pepper

4. Shaking out the Dead by KM Cholewa

5. Everyday Celebrations by Maria Loggia

6. Strangers on a Bus by Rob Manary

7. Betty's Little (Basement) Garden by Laurel Dewey

I'm sure there are many others on my tbr pile but they are too numerous to mention!!
