I finished 6 books this week 😮 - not sure how I managed that! My favourites were We Begin At The End and The Paper Palace, but none were duds this week.

The bottom two are ongoing - Sunset on audio and Seven Years in Tibet for #readingasia2021.

Cathythoughts Well done ! These all look good .. I‘m especially interested in Black Girl ! Animal ? And … Begin at the End ! 4y

#IllseeyouinParis 2021 book challenge... January's Paris book was I'll see you in Paris by Michelle Gable. What an amazing story! Starting with a tragedy in the Vietnam war & spanning 30 years, this book is like a spiral... loosely woven & loosely connected at first & as each turn of the spiral gets closer & closer the story comes together more & more culminating with an amazing finish that will leave you in tears! (Continued in comments)...

TheHeartlandBookFairy With an amazing finish that will leave you in tears! Build as a great love story and a literary mystery, Gladys Spencer - Churchill, the duchess of Marlboro, was a fascinating woman about whom this story was written. Written by The best-selling author of a Paris apartment (which I also read and loved!), this story will capture your heart ❤️ Cont... 5y

Librarybelle My copy of this has been in transit from Book Outlet since mid-December! One of the packages that the USPS is sending from site to site, haha! Once it arrives, I plan to read it. I‘ll probably get to February‘s before January‘s arrives. 😂 5y
TheHeartlandBookFairy @Librarybelle Oh my goodness, I've had a couple of packages do that circuitous route to my house as well! Good luck and in the meantime, I'm sure there are plenty of other books to be read 😊 FYI, I thought it was slow to start but boy once it picked up steam it got really good really quick! Happy reading 😊 5y
Librarybelle Haha...lots of books to read in the meantime indeed! Good to know about the start of the book. I‘m crossing my fingers that it arrives soon! 5y

This was a delightful read. A love story and the mystery of a missing/ disappearing duchess told through 3 time periods. That may sound complicated but it actually flows very smoothly. Thank you @FeatherV for turning me on to this book.

I fell so in love with this book a quarter of the way through that I reserved two more of her books from the library, this tale is gripping and heart wrenching and wonderful
