4.5/5⭐️

Loved the characters and their stories (including the house). I‘m really looking forward to the discussion later this month with the #LiteraryCrew.

A found family set in a 1950‘s DC boarding house. I enjoyed getting to know each of the characters (including the house) although I think I would have liked it more if it were based on just one character. That‘s just a personal preference though and this was a good read overall. #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Karisa I just finished this book for #LiteraryCrew monthly read. I really liked it too. If only one character‘s POV, I would‘ve picked Grace or Claire. Who‘d be your pick? (edited) 6d
Bookwormjillk @Karisa Reka or Grace I think 6d

Joining my voice to the choir singing this historical fiction book‘s praises. Sixty percent in and loving all the quirky, found family vibes of this boarding house of women circa 1950‘s DC. It‘s making me need to go watch A League of Their Own (maybe Fried Green Tomatoes) too⚾️😭💗

I really enjoy Kate Quinn books and this is no exception. Set in a Washington DC boarding house during the McCarthy era 7 women, each with their own secrets, bond over weekly dinners. The audio was great but now will borrow from the library to look at the recipes from each character‘s chapter. Pic is from IG of Candlestick salad. 4.5 🌟

Look forward to discussing with #LiteraryCrew

@Librarybelle

I Am Livia | Phyllis T. Smith
post image
Pickpick

This book was a fascinating glimpse into the constantly changing politics of Ancient Rome, from a female point of view. Livia was the wife and trusted advisor of the emperor Augustus. Although I didn‘t always agree with some of the choices she made, I couldn‘t help but admire the way she worked through the constraints placed upon her as a wealthy woman, to become a powerful, influential force for the good of the Roman people.

julieclair Great choice for #LiteraryCrew , @Librarybelle ! Thanks, as always, for hosting. 3w
Librarybelle Yay! And good match for Pantone! 3w
