Today's #womenshistoryreads interview: @AllisonPataki ! Great answers to my questions and I LOVED her question for me. Greermacallister.com/blog
I was excited to come across a novel about the French Revolution as I know little about this period in history. Sadly, after reading this story I can‘t say I gained much. There were enough story lines and sub plots that I found myself jotting notes in order to keep it all straight. Ultimately the story was just too outlandish for my taste.
This #Audiobook honestly is one of the most distracting performances that I have listened to! Uneven cadence, pacing and accent ... Plus the plot was overly predictable and none of the characters grew or developed... going to make for an #Awkward #BookClub discussion later this month! @RealLifeReading #AudioColoring
My #augusttbr pile. I swear I will finish City of Dreams sometime in this lifetime(but hopefully this month). #mostanticipated #augustmostanticipated #backtoreading #anditsaugust
I will be honest, I have mixed feelings about this one. I'm excited for the book & I always love that they do the notes from the author. It's great also that they donate a book as well but the items I'm disappointed in. I don't use notebooks & will never use this one & the cover for the light was cracked. The bookmark was cute. I'll continue for now because I love the book selection so far. #historicalfiction #mypagehabit #pagehabit
A perfectly fine historical fiction book that takes place during the French Revolution. Too many battle scenes for my taste, but there's a good story here, one that picks up at around the 40% mark. I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.
The bf brought me books!
(And this post isn't just an underlined passage!)
Where the Light Falls is about Napoleonic France, an era I'm eager to learn more about, (brought up in several books I'm reading now) & is co-written by Allison Pataki, who wrote The Accidental Empress about Sisi of Austria-Hungary, which I read earlier this year & found fascinating.
I have no clue what The Necklace is about but I trust the bf's book picking skills!
