Greetings from the house of sickness!
My son went on a school trip and the gift he brought home was Covid. None of us have had it before, but we're all fully vaxxed and boostered, so it isn't *too* terrible.
I committed to entirely too many things this month. I finished the May book for #bobwhitebuddies so I'm only a book behind. I did manage to finish this month's reading for #europacollective and #KLBR. I'm behind on #beyondtheyellowbrickroad.
June 25,2025 Paris had a severe thunderstorm, and people were comparing the flooding to Venice.
January 1910 Paris had a severe thunderstorm and people were comparing the flooding to Venice !
History repeats itself

Here we are at the end of June. Happy to open the discussion about Gabriele and welcome all comments. Personally I found this to be one slog of a book. I never found any of these people interesting in the slightest outside of the fact that they‘re the worst parents in history! Gabriele could have been an outstanding musician, but no, she gave up her whole career to cater to her husband. Anybody love this book? ⬇️
#JuneSpecials Day 26: Can stand for #ChocPudding #ChocolatePudding but more like Chilis molten chocolate cake - paired with the third book in the Ember in the Ashes quartet which I simply devoured while in Seattle a week ago. I am not starting Book 4 yet so I can prolong my stay in Sabaa Tahir‘s world. Will get to the #CampLitsy2025 and #EuropaCollective titles first.
The people Gabriële touched in her life blows my mind! Her relationship with Picabia was insane! That she was such an awful mother breaks my heart for her children, but not everyone is a good mother and what choice did G have in that day and age? Francis was such an utter twat. I loved reading AB and CB talk about their perspectives. The work they put into this ? #europacollective
Chapter 8: The Shadow Is More Beautiful Than The Academy
🎈For the 1st time, a painter has painted something that doesn‘t represent ANYTHING. Before Picasso. Before Kandinsky.
In which Francis starts losing his vision & and seems to spend all this time in opium dens…
