pickJust what I‘m after in a Verlaque and Bonnet mystery. The initial crime—the clearing out of a small museum over a long weekend—was an interesting change of pace.
pickMy #DoubleSpin for this month was a quick read that spoke to my Hobbit self. Someday, I want to live somewhere surrounded by trees, even if that means I have to plant them myself.
pickThis was wonderful! I loved the humorous picture of a Provençal village in the 1930s. Ex-Pat Lady Winifred was someone who (self-portrayed) loved a good time and enjoyed the wild ride of remodeling a home in a new land, with a different language and culture. A few descriptions are a little cringey, but overall I really enjoyed it and will absolutely put this in the reread pile.
pick3/5
Interesting book that can be read from start to finish, or in bits, depending on which articles catch your fancy. Each article is related to Provence, Peter Maybe sharing his knowledge, observations or personal experience, often with wit and humor.
HISTORICAL FICTION - FRANCE - ROMANCE
Who wouldn‘t want to go to Paris and photograph carousels?
This book will appeal to those who enjoy France, antiques, warm-hearted characters, the Provencal countryside, chateaus, and European history during WWII.
A charming, heart-warming read.

In this book, Peter Maybe travels around France for culinary events. He observes, and learns from locals about the food, sometimes how to eat it, how to cook it or prepare it...
It's a well-written light read.
⚠️ This book can make you hungry!!!

Well-written, this classic account of an Englishman purchasing a house and renovating it in Provence reads well, and quite fast.
I like his writing style, his humor, but if you are reading it now, it is quite outdated.
I have some #CoverLove for this gothic mystery book set at a crumbling estate nestled in the fragrant #Lavender fields of Provence.💜
