Read My Review~~British Style!


This is a great meme hosted by Tasha at trillianbooks.blogspot.com.

From her blog... "Read My Review is a chance for book bloggers to share new and old reviews, related to a theme. It is hosted here at A Trillian Books. I've decided to run this feature once a month from now on, partly due to me being really busy and partly to allow more chance for people to link their reviews.
What to do:
- Find one of your reviews that fits the current theme (you can be as creative as you like when choosing what fits). It can be a new or old review, good or bad.
- Leave the link to your review with Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post."Blog Name (Book Title)"
- Visit some of the other reviews and leave a 'quality' comment (a couple of sentences).
- Let people know about Read My Review. Grab the button, tweet it, Facebook it ... shout about it in the street ... whatever lol.

Both St. George's Day and the Royal Wedding are coming up so, the new theme is:

BRITISH

It can be a British author, a story set in Britain or have a British character (or all three!). The theme stays for four weeks so you can leave your link any time and don't forget to pop back and check out some more fab reviews. You can also clink the link at the top to see the previous Read My Reviews. Also, if you have any ideas for future themes you'd like to see leave them in a comment..."

This is the perfect meme for me. I LOVE British mysteries! I have blogged about so many British books lately. The most recent review I've posted... A Graceful Death by Ann Summerville... is a British mystery. Just scroll down and you can read my review as well as an interview with the author.

There are several other reviews of books that definitely fit the "British" category.
You can look around Bags, Books & Bon Jovi for more British themed reviews but here are just a few...

Wow! I guess I'm a Anglophile at heart! Maybe I should rename my blog... How does Bags, BRITISH Books & Bon Jovi sound?!?

I think you could definitely fit in with everybody in England Kathy. I know also, that you've never steered me wrong with any of the books that I've read that you've recommended.

Calling by from A Trillian Books as participating in the Read My Review Meme. None of the titles you listed are familiar to me, so many books, so little time! I will have a browse of your reviews.
