Mehso-so

Even though I loved being placed in a fancy Australian hotel back in 1926 with all the rich people that could stay for months at a time, it took me forever to finish. It was my last book challenge book of 2019. I just was not compelled to pick it up. Even though I loved the setting, the characters were not likable. I loved Wildfire Hill by this author. I will read more of her books. This one was not my favorite. 3⭐️ #2020book7

Tracyantoon They can‘t all be 5 stars. Sounded promising though. 5y

Sam Honeychurch-Black

In 1926, he's a young, rich, man from an old high society family who falls in love fast & hard with a waitress at his hotel. Despite the impossibility of their relationship, he's full of hopes & dreams for their future to the point of ignoring reality. The opium addiction may have contributed. 🙃

Photo is Freddy from A Room With A View, but totally how I pictured Sam.

I ❤️ this book

Definitely the best book I have read from a subscription box! This was a Lit-Cube book from a year ago, but I finally got around to it. Really good historical fiction with a modern-day story happening in parallel...if you like Kate Morton, you will probably enjoy this book. Great writing, setting, and characters. 😃

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

booksandcats13 Pretty cover too! 8y

Finally got my litcube for June! Loving the 1920s theme and the Gatsby themed items. Evergreen Falls sounds intriguing!

BookishFeminist Is that a blue totebag or tshirt in the background? Either way it's beautiful! 8y
Yamich49 @BookishFeminist it's actually a pillowcase made of a material that's kinda like burlap. It's very pretty tho! Lol 8y

Lit-Cube roaring 20's box came in! A beautiful pillow cover with a quote from The Great Gatsby, champagne sugar scrub, a sugar daddy, 20's style headband, Great Gatsby quote magnet, and of course the book Evergreen Falls!

BookJunkie429 Sooooo jealous!!! I knew I should've signed up when I had the chance. I love the 20s. What does the headband look like on? 9y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings The band is actually a little too big for my head, but it is really pretty, I will just have to get some Bobby pins to help pin it. =/ 9y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookJunkie429 ^ and I have to say the pillow cover is a great mesh material that is sturdy and could be used outdoors if you wanted, just gorgeous! 9y

BookJunkie429 @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Very nice! Does the scrub smell nice? 9y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings It does! I am very partial to lavender lol @BookJunkie429 9y

Lizpixie Wow! You guys get some awesome gift boxes! I wish this and BOTM had international shipping☹️ 9y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Lizpixie I wish there were more like this for all countries! I am subscribed to 5 boxes and BOTM. I can't get enough! My bookish shirts and totes are out of control lol 9y
BookishBrain I wish I could subscribe to 5 boxes! I get two though! I'm trying to find a job then I can subscribe to more hahahaha...shhhh no one tell my fiancé hah 9y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookishBrain I am very spoiled. I used to get a $75 B&N/BAM! allowance each paycheck, and I tried to also buy bookish items I liked, so when I saw these and 5 of them equal my monthly allowance, I convinced him these were what I wanted. =) 9y
BookishBrain @BooksTeasAndBookishThings that makes a ton of sense! I'm hoping to get my book allowance back after some bills get caught up :) 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @BookishBrain I thought so! Plus, they send books that I may not buy for myself that will let me read out of my comfort reading, which I love. Or they may send a book that I really wanted, but chose another book over it, etc... So, I am just loving these! Hope you are able to get yours soon =) 8y
