A nice refreshing book after reading a ton of dark books lately. #france #carousels #wwII

Engaging read with interesting characters and storyline. One of my favorites by this author.

FEATURING: THE LOST CAROUSEL OF PROVENCE by Juliet Blackwell

A charming, heart-warming read.

The characters were lovely, and the story line was creative, uplifting, and positive.

France, carousels, lovable characters, and a marvelous story line.

I love all of her books, but this is a favorite.

What a great book! Picked it up randomly at the library ages ago and was going to return without reading it but I'm so glad I did. Charming without being sappy!

Trying to decide what to start next - I have 2 library books, an ARC on the kindle, and #lmpbc (although I've already read that book many years ago - the Eyre Affair). Decisions, decisions....

Such a sweet story!!! A loner all her life, Candy steps outside her comfort zone to follow a mystery and her dream. She finds her place in the world and so much more. While a little slow at times, I‘m so glad I stuck with it!!! 😁💜

Got off to a slow start but once the main character went to France it was magnifique! Full review on my blog: oddandbookish.wordpress.com

I really loved this sweet read! Told from multiple POVs and traveling back and forth in time, we learn about the making of carousels. I enjoyed the characters and the setting, and really just wanted to stay within the pages of this book! I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

A LOVELY, LOVELY READ, AND A FREE TRIP TO FRANCE!!

France, carousels, lovable characters, and a marvelous story line. Can‘t argue with that.

LOVED the book...ENJOY if you read it...I know you will. 5/5"

I‘ve been dealing with one of life‘s curveballs, healthwise, so have had a lot of time to read lately. The graphic here shows a few of the books I‘ve finished. This one by Juliet Blackwell was a lovely little diversion. If you enjoy Blackwell‘s other books, you‘ll like this one.

I won an ARC of this, and honestly, I‘m on the fence. 20 pages in and there‘s an almost tangible feeling to the book (like, I can practically hear café music) but the author is just rushing the plot. Characters appear like a damn magic trick with little to no context. The contemporary plot is so forced, it feels like I‘m being begged to believe it.
