pickWhile probably more fiction than historical fiction, this book captured me. A story about Anna Maria della Pieta and her journey with music. There is not much known about her but I think the author did well in writing a story around what is known about her. It is mainly a story about her and how she sees, feels and senses her music. The descriptions of colours blended with music are inspiring.

Continuing this book while our littlest attends her first birthday party without me 😭. She is quite shy so staying near by in the car in case she wants to leave early. And yes the snow has been gone for a couple of weeks and now this is what it looks like after last night's dumping 🙁
I'm loving this book so far. The descriptions of how she sees music are beautiful! I've been fully transported into the book and I just want to keep reading!
Tonight seems like a great evening for a book and snack. Going to start the tagged book with some buttery herb and garlic pretzels and an orange juice. Nothing beats a book and a snack when your heading back into winter weather after getting a tease of spring weather! I don't know much about this book but fingers crossed it's a good one.
My Christmas book haul for 2024. It was another year of getting very little reading done because it was just so busy. Kind of crazy how a new job combined with kids growing up and joining more activities can take over your life. Now that things have settled a bit, I'm hopeful that I will have more time to read in 2025! I've joined way too many challenges to try and push myself to read more 😆.

pickI love that historical fiction often features and credits the roles of women in history as they are not often mentioned in the history books. This book excels at that and while I know that a lot of the book is 'fiction', it introduced me to a real person in history and I thought did a great job capturing a time and a place. I found the story to be entertaining and informative and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 4.5/5
