Burnt Echo reading today while snuggled in bed. #readyourkindle #serieslove2024 Hope to finish A Grief Observed tomorrow. Reading just a few chapters in The Cabaret of Plants, & The Art of Rivalry (Started ages ago). All 3 #NFNovember choices. Donna Leon, my escape to Venice & mystery.
Saw this video in an Art Teacher group post and thought of #SundayBuddyRead 💗😂

2.25 stars. It‘s such a gift that you can travel through books, and especially in the summer months, I love taking a literary vacation! 😆 The French Riviera setting and food descriptions on this “trip” were lovely, but I just never really connected with the story or characters. 🎧
pickFascinating, dual timeline family saga, exploring the ways a young woman‘s acquaintance with Pablo Picasso during the summer of 1936 influences successive generations of her family for years to come. Excellent storytelling, plus I learned quite a bit about Picasso and his art. Now I want to visit a Picasso museum. And the south of France! Another excellent pick by @TheBookHippie for #SundayBuddyRead !

Read for #SundayBuddyRead this book had a lot of promise & their were parts I really enjoyed( (the food, French Riviera setting, glimpse into the art world & learning more about Picasso) but it just was too all over the place with plot lines, characters that were not flushed out, & I felt myself yelling in my head at the author & one of the MCs, Celine) & not enough for it to be a pick & so it gets a so-so for me.⬇️
so-soWell, I enjoyed the mystery of the characters trying to find the missing Picasso painting but a lot of random things happened.
However, I did learn new things about Picasso.
