The Immaculate Conception | Ga?tan Soucy

So I looked at the solutions to the clues on Reddit (generally someone has them there by the third ones) and was on the fence about Original Daughter. Of course I got it! 😂😂 Four from #botm plus three from #aardvark plus whatever I buy at Parnassus today. (I already have three staff picks I like.) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I‘ve lost my mind in the best possible way!!!!

King's Daughters and Founding Mothers: The Filles Du Roi, 1663-1673 | Peter J. Gagn�

“My paternal grandmother, Irene Miville Horton was descendant of not one fille du roi, but fifteen. Fifteen seemed like quite a lot until my research found people with a many as 80”.

Book: Descended from the mothers of Quebec by Paul Harvey Horton Jr.this is self-published.There are so few books on the fille du rio in English.I‘ve done some gen research on dads side.Mostly French Canadian and French.how many fille du roi I‘m related to🤷‍♀️.

The Immaculate Conception | Ga?tan Soucy

Adding to my TBR from Half Price Books today. The back cover blurb is intriguing - sounds like an introspective character focused novel.

I found nothing that was already on my list! 🤨

Cathythoughts Intriguing cover too 💫 4y

Tamra @Cathythoughts the cover first caught my eye. 🙂 4y

The letter on the tree | Natalie Savage Carlson

pick

🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Family Under the Bridge is one of my favorite Christmas chapter books and I actually only read it for the first time a couple years ago. Since I‘ve gotten into a bit of a vintage book obsession in recent months, I decided to try another older Christmas book by Natalie Savage Carlson this year. I still like the other one better, but I really enjoyed this one, too. I‘m calling this book 1 of my #VintageBookishChristmas. More to come!🎄

smilingshelves Ooh, I love the idea of vintage book Christmas! 5y

BucklingBookshelves @smilingshelves I‘ll have to see how many I get to. I have a stack of shorter ones similar to this and I usually read Christmassy things through the end of the year. It‘s been fun so far though! 🎄📚🎄 5y
