Day 18 #JuneTunz More 80's awesomeness, today's song is from @KerriNTurner 🎶🤘🏼💟One of my favorite HF novels is the story of famed San Francisco madam Belle Cora. Starting with the 1906 earthquake/fire, Belle regales the reader with her incredible life story starting in luxurious NYC, to dusty Midwest farm eventually to California and the #Gold Rush. It's an epic novel. So well researched & crafted 🏆🥇🏆💝Definitely #Gold standard

Think you know what a woman will do if she is left emotionally and financially destitute? Now you'll know. Don't judge until you've read the entire book.

Slow start but the middle is picking up....SCANDAL

In addition to the books I've read and attempted to read, I thought it would be interesting to track my purchases as well. All four books I finished were good this month. Picking a favorite was hard.

It took me a long time to read it, but I'm finally don't. I really enjoyed this book, even though the last third wasn't as compelling as the rest. I enjoyed reading about early San Francisco. It only made me want to visit that city someday soon.

"...You wear so much armor. You resist so much. I think that is why God has put us together. You're a hard case. You need special attention."

Oh, Arabella. What have you done?

Thank you, Mother Nature, for agreeing with my plans to read all night.

I'm finally making some progress with my reading this week. It feels good to want to read during my breaks and before bed. I read over 100 pages last night. I could see this made into a miniseries like @jennifersmeth said.

Okay. I forgot about laundry, so I've only read a few pages today. Here's the cake wreck, but it was so good! If you don't expect Cake Boss, the inside was pretty, too. :) DH is doing the clean up, so now I will read a little more. #goodday

The girls and friends made tie dye cakes. Now that they're in the oven and they're outside, I can finally sit down to read.

I know it's getting late, but it won't hurt anybody if I read a few pages of my next book before turning out the lights. I'm looking forward to this one. @jennifersmeth loved it.

An outstanding epic of a novel.
Rich in detail and historical accuracy.
Belle Cora is loosely based on real life 1800's madam. A fascinating read that spans some 80 years from NewYork to California.
