“My paternal grandmother, Irene Miville Horton was descendant of not one fille du roi, but fifteen. Fifteen seemed like quite a lot until my research found people with a many as 80”.
Book: Descended from the mothers of Quebec by Paul Harvey Horton Jr.this is self-published.There are so few books on the fille du rio in English.I‘ve done some gen research on dads side.Mostly French Canadian and French.how many fille du roi I‘m related to🤷♀️.

1. My best start to every day is having the girls (aka Kate and Pippa) wake us up. It is always the ultimate joy as they really do live in the moment.
2. In the tagged book, Inspector Gamache is one of the most methodical detectives I've ever read--maybe even more than Holmes.
Play? @IndoorDame @Sleepswithbooks @TheBookHippie
“Abby Hoffman said we should all eat what we kill. That would put an end to war.“
Not for the first time Beauvoir was at a loss for words with Gamache. Was he serious? Was he, perhaps, a little touched? And who was Abbé Offman? A local cleric? Sounds like exactly the sort of things some Christian mystic would say.
pickMy favorite in the series so far, and Three Pines was barely in it! Chief inspector Gamache and his wife are celebrating their anniversary at Manoir Bellechasse, just over the mountain range from Three Pines. Yearly visitors, this visit coincides with the Morrow family reunion, including the Gamache‘s friends from Three Pines, Peter and Clara. The last book hinted at Peter‘s dark side. When a Morrow is killed, is Peter to blame or another ⬇️

1. Not having children to come home for the holidays, we really don't have many traditions. Mine are steeped in my childhood. One I do have, though, is to reread all of my mom's Christmas newsletters from 1974 until she died. I put them together in a spiral book and gifted them to my sisters the year she passed. She loved Christmas. How I miss her. ❣️🎄❣️
2. Tagged. I hope to read the whole series.
All are tagged! 🤩

Dull ride home yesterday but my loan on this fortuitiously came in, so I read the first chapter aloud to my husband to keep him entertained.
pickWhen a Wiccan comes to Three Pines, Gabri can‘t help himself to connive her into doing seances. When the second one is held at the haunted old Hadley house, one of the participants literally dies of fright. Inspector Gamache and his entourage come to town to sleuth their way to an answer, while he also deals with some stabbing behind his back by Arnot supporters. We finally learn a lot more about how Gamache took down the popular inspector.
