The art of drinking champagne

The books is what the title says: two women bonding over champagne and living a exhilarating life. And, as always with books by Amelie Nothomb, we as readers are left asking ourselves what is true, what is pure exaggeration and what is fiction. With Nothomb one never knows. In it's depth it's a story about a female friendship, including two very special women doing whatever society doesn't want them to do.

Cuilin Your description reminds me of the 90‘s tv show “Absolutely Fabulous” 6mo
Jari-chan @Cuilin I wish I knew the show 😅 6mo
Cuilin @Jari-chan it‘s a BBC show. Incredibly funny with Joanna Lumley, and Jennifer Saunders. 6mo
Jari-chan @Cuilin Oh, sounds intriguing! 🤩 6mo

Even though there were some bad news this week, there was still a lot of joy as well.

1) Nemo, of course. So much love 💖
2) Received two lovely food packages from two lovely people
3) Got two awesome books from @VaniBarelyReads ❤ (she will show up here always, because she's my #1 joy)
4) Free kiwi when I needed something healthy
5) Awesome vegan empanada at the local food festival 🎉

MemoirsForMe Your empanada looks so good. My favorite are the unhealthy cherry empanadas with powdered sugar. 😋 6mo
Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme Oh wow, those must taste amazing 🤩 6mo

monkeygirlsmama I'm not big on watermelon anything that isn't actual watermelon, but this flavor combo for wine intrigues me. What brand of label is it? My favorite wine is only available here during like one or two months during the summer from one particular grocery chain, it's a Hatch Chili Red and it's amazing! Sadly last summer I was freshly in the throws of grief and stocking up was the last thing on my mind. Always open to trying something new though. 🍷 10mo
monkeygirlsmama *brand OR label 10mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @monkeygirlsmama it‘s from a local winery called Magnolia Winery! My daughter got me to try it last summer. I‘ve never been much of a drinker but wanted to find some wine I like. I wouldn‘t have thought this would be a good combination but it is fabulous! I also like the plain watermelon 🍉🍷 10mo

TheAromaofBooks I've learned from working at the orchard that pear juice is frequently used as a “carrier“ of flavors for other fruit juices/wines, because it doesn't have a strong taste but is sweet. We make a blackberry pear cider at the orchard in the fall that is AMAZING. 10mo
Eggs Sounds so yummy 🤤🍷❤️ 10mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheAromaofBooks I love sweet! I have some actual pear that I haven‘t opened yet! 9mo
monkeygirlsmama @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I'll have to look it up online. 9mo

TODAY‘S PROMPT: WINE

HISTORICAL FICTION - WWII - FRANCE - ROMANCE

France, wine, WWII, present day, and love - all of this wrapped into one amazing, difficult-to-put-down read.

Another marvelous, intriguing read about the resiliency and determination of the French people and the entire European population.

Soft pick for me. Set in the midst of WW2 and in the occupied champagne region this could have been an excellent historical novel. The research was there and the framework of an excellent story, instead this went in the direction of a more romantic novel with one too many twists for me. Enjoyable but didn‘t blow me away. For #jubilantjuly I hope to read daily (it‘s a tough week) but starting off strong

Andrew65 Excellent start 👏👏👏 1y
dabbe Da cute pup didn't like it much either! 🖤🐾🖤 1y
Itchyfeetreader @dabbe she‘s not a big fan of my reading. Much prefers the walking, playing and bringing of the snacks!! 1y
