Alice is a pop culture writer who tracks down Margaret Ives, an heiress to a media fortune kind but she disappeared years ago. Margaret invites Alice to visit her in Georgia. Alice finds out that another writer, Hayden, with a Pulitzer are basically competing to win the right to tell Margaret‘s story.

The characters are realistic & flawed, the plot is intriguing & mysterious, & romance is beautiful. Perfect ending. I cried!

Book 60.

The Duke of Falconridge‘s third son, Jon, leaves for France on a grand tour. He leaves with his tutor, William Morris & they are detained in a French prison during Napoleon‘s war. During this time, Morris dies, & he asks Jon to take care of his daughter, Tori. Jon returns to England to find that he is the current Duke. Tori (Victoria) is Jon's sister governess. The attraction is instant between them.

The banter between Jon and Tori is fun.

I was disappointed today as it is #indibookstoreday & I had to work at the library.

However, a new #indiebookshop opened by me two weeks ago , @daughterscoffeeandbooks & they were doing a book bedazzle event after I got off.

I wanted to try it & it was so much fun! I still need to complete the word “Lovers” & I did slightly mess up the “B” however for a first attempt, I am happy. And I celebrated #independentbookstoreday in a small way!

Cupcake12 I love what you‘ve done with the bedazzling, not sure if I have the patience 😂 1w

Omg….i am in heaven! I asked the local @amctheatres manager if I could have the movie poster. He called me today to say that he had a brand new one to give to me. I picked it up after work and can‘t wait to use it for my Jane Austen library display!

It‘s officially hashtag#TakeActionForLibraries Day! To celebrate and advocate for libraries and library funding, we want every library lover to make their voice heard today. Head to ala.org/showup to learn how you can take action by calling or emailing Congress, writing a letter to your local newspaper, and more! Tell Congress how important your library is to your community - and how important federal funding is to sustain their work.

It‘s #nationallibraryweek and you can support your local library by visiting it.

Checking out resources and attending programs/events is one way that you can support your library. Numbers are librarians‘ friends because higher numbers of resources being used by the local community translates into more funding for us.

The story introduces Billie Hope, a former New York City food scene star whose career crumbled during the pandemic. An email offering a stunning Victorian house in Juliana, Georgia, for just a hundred dollars, plus a generous business grant. With little hesitation, she uproots her husband, Peter, and their daughter, Meredith, and heads south. A twisty psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end!

Book 42 of the year.

Summer in the City is a perfect summer book but yet it's just perfect all the time. Elle, is a screenwriter who is writing for a movie set in New York City. Elle meet Parker, who is a billionaire at a nightclub two years earlier, they have a stairwell hookup and she swears never to visit NYC again.

This was a lovely story from start to finish!

This story grabbed me from the first paragraph. The descriptive words of the Shenandoah Valley, the Civil War battles, the people were so real. As someone who has visited this part of the country, I felt that I was drawn back there and watching this story unfold.

Gripping, wonderfully written, well thought out, and hard to put down, Chris Bohjalian delivered a powerful and moving book with The Jackal's Mistress.

Book 33 of the year.

The Other March Sisters | Ally Malinenko, Liz Parker, Linda Epstein
post image
Panpan

This was an interesting take on "Little Women". It focuses on the other March sister: Amy, Beth and Meg. It has queer undertaking on some of the main characters and definitely is different than the story that we know along with Jo being missing from the entire book. Each of the other sisters are represented differently than in the original story. In reading the epilogue, only one of the three authors has actually read "Little Women".

Book 32.

peanutnine Ummm... How can you write about characters from a book you've never read?? 2mo
Graciouswarriorprincess @peanutnine I totally agree. I think that‘s why I didn‘t like it. They completely changed the women and Laurie. 2mo
