A great mix of categories. Rebecca is a favourite of mine and I’m a fan of Susanna Kearlsey.
Thank you for visiting back, Yvonne and great to hear your a Rebecca and Susanna Kearsley fan too! 😁
I’ve read seven of those books. Thanks for reminding me of Susanna Kearsley. I enjoyed The Shadowy Horses and Season of Storms but somehow never got around to reading the others.

Thank you for visiting back, Katrina 😊 Also great to hear you read seven of these books and you’re a Susanna Kearsley fan! Kearsley is one of my favourite authors – I highly recommend reading The Rose Garden and Marianna. 😃
Reading yours and FictionFan’s lists are very bad for my will power. I’m not at all sure I can squeeze this into July when I know I have posts outstanding from June but I don’t know if I can resist. We shall see! Meanwhile, you have some great books here, Jessica. I want to read Margaret Skea’s book and I very much enjoyed The Toymakers 😊
Thank you, Sandra – I hope you able to read Margaret Skea’s book soon and great to hear you enjoyed The Toymakers, too. I also hope you have a chance to take part in this meme as well – Please come back and share a link to your post if you do take part. Would love to see your choices. 😊
What a fun meme and you’ve read some awesome authors.
Thank you, Kimberly 🙂 and yes, this is a really fun way to reflect back on our reading from the first half of the year.
Thank you for joining in again. Always great to see a variety of books and you have spurred me to reread Rebecca over the summer as well.
You’re welcome, but more importantly, thank you for hosting again! 😁 I hope you enjoy re-reading Rebecca as much as I did – It is perfect to enjoy on a hot summer’s day in the garden. 😎
It looks as though you’ve had a good start to the year, with a great mixture of different types of books! I like your choice of categories too. I’ll be putting my own post together soon.
Thank you, Helen 😊 I really look forward to seeing your post and category choices, as you always have so many great books to choose from!
Well done! Some excellent choices showing you’ve had a very varied and enjoyable first half of the year. I had a bash and got nowhere, but you’ve inpired me to try again! I may steal one or two of your categories if you don’t mind… 😀
Thank you, FF 😊 and I am really pleased I inspired you to try having another ago, and please steal as many of my categories choices as you like. 😁
Good job–some very nice choices, too! This is a favorite of mine! I’ll be writing mine over the weekend.
Thank you! I hope you have fun taking part again this year too – Please come back and share a link to your post once it is up. 😃
