A well written and interesting book about the Barbizon Hotel, a refuge for ambitious women coming to New York. Many interesting and promising women found a safe place here between the 1920s and 2005. They arrived young and ambitious and had a chance to become self aware and successful career women. I knew nothing about this hotel and enjoyed learning about it.

I finished my little Halloween Lego wreath and this book. I loved the insight into artistic inspiration but the domestic violence was hard to listen to. The insecurity/inner dialogue behind the violence was insightful and harrowing as you felt the frustration build. The dual time line was well done with characters in both mirroring each other which was fun until it was scary. There is a paranormal aspect to this story some might not buy into

I was not far into this story before deciding the title of book is such a tell. And then deciding no, it‘s a red herring. Then no, it's a tell. Then okay, just calm down and read to the end. … I also did a stereo listen with the audio since I love the voice Bahni Turpin brings to an author‘s characters.

Eggs Great photo tableau! I like Bahni too❣️ 5d
marleed @Eggs Thank you! Her narrations always add to the story ❤️ 4d

#WeeklyForecast 43/25

I am reading off my shelves, finishing reading challenges and eagerly waiting for the ToB longlist to be announced.
For now I am almost finished reading Your Steps on the Stairs, a very weird read. Next will be The Children of Red Peak, that I meant to read last week but forgot somehow. The Barbizon I hope to start too.

sarahbarnes Your Steps on the Stairs was a weird read indeed. I‘ll be interested in your review. 1w

When someone else is enthusiastic about a book:

But you have read it recently and are just "meh"....?

I'm hoping to get some reading time this weekend to make progress on these three books. A Time to Be Born goes back to the library in about 2.5 hours. It's been a slog for me, so I'm looking to just skim these last 2 chapters for #192025 challenge. Then I have the next section of Kill Her Twice for the #sundaybuddyread and whatever time is left will be put towards the #europacollective read for the month.
