Welcome to Litsy!

#JulyJourneys #Paris

This book has been on my TBR for awhile but it is on my paperback #14books14weeks list so it should be read by Labor Day.

After a brush with death Helena decides it is time to be an active participant in her own life and leaves 1920‘s England for a year in France. She enrolls in an art school, makes true friends, and meets a handsome American journalist. Well-written, light historical fiction, I enjoyed this entire series of loosely connected books.

Feeling pretty meh over my last few reads (including a couple of bails). I'm hoping this will be a nice palate-cleanser before I read my book club selection and then decide if I want to start a new series.

My first historical fiction in what seems like forever and it was a great book to get me back into the genre. I related a lot to Helena and getting to see her journey to become her own woman was written so well. Not to mention Sam! Where can I find my own Sam!! 😍 4/5🌟

Trying something new in June by making myself a TBR pile! I have never actually completed one before and either get distracted by other books or intimidated by how big it is 😱 so fingers crossed that I can finish it 🤞🏻 first up is Moonlight Over Paris 😍

Enjoyed this historical fiction about 1920s Paris as a light story about a woman finding herself and growing into her life as a young artist. Not fantastic fiction, but nothing I have to complain about!

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I got about halfway through this book and there was no conflict. The writing was good but the character was just having a lovely time day in, day out. Womp, womp.

Isn't the cover beautiful?

Just found the newest Free Little Library in my town and has to be my favorite one of all! Got to talk to the man who made it and he did every inch of this by hand and it even has a little solar light on the inside.

Another lovely read from Robson. While you might see it touted as an historical romance, the love story is secondary to everything else the heroine goes through. Having grown up in sheltered, privileged circumstances, she chooses to break away from everything that's expected of her so she can LIVE. Her privilege does smooth her journey to art school in Paris, but her experience is gloriously 1920s: full of new ideas and unconventional people.

Truth.

Also, I love how the little old terrier here is a treasured family member, not a yappy nuisance to everyone but the older lady he belongs to. So often, fictional small dogs are cast in the worst possible light.

Light and perfect for the first day of summer. #beachread

Yes people I will try to finish this book today! Happy national book lovers day! I hope you all get to read plenty today!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I liked the glimpse of life of the "lost generation" in 1920s Paris. I wasn't as invested in the main characters in this book, as I was with Robson's first book "Somewhere in France".

Starting this for next week's book club meeting.

Brilliantly researched, beautifully written. In post-WWI Paris a lowly American reporter (the heir to a steel magnate) & an English art student (a lady who plans to really live after recovering from illness) bring out the best & worst in each other.
