Welcome to Litsy!

For me it would be the tagged book, which is the first book in the Josephine B trilogy, where you see the French Revolution form a different viewpoint.

My new ereader also has built in OverDrive connectivity. I‘ve been meaning to reread Sandra Gulland for a looooooong time, and with my own copies of her Josephine B. trilogy at home, it was the digital library catalogue to the rescue!

While I still like this first book a lot, I don‘t feel the same passion for it as I did back in 2007. It‘ll probably be yet another old fave I‘m happy to pass along after I‘m done.

The Josephine B trilogy is the fictionalised journals of Napoleon's first wife. The first book chronicles her early life, her first marriage, her experiences during the French Revolution and the terror afterwards, and how she met Napoleon. It's well-researched, empathetic, and paints a very different picture of Josephine than average Napolenon documentaries.

Thanks for the tag @I.be.Stef 🤗

I really enjoyed this book about Napoleon‘s wife. It‘s part of a trilogy so this covers her early years but she lead a fascinating life and was right in the heart of the French Revolution! Great historical fiction! 👍 #France #ReadingEurope2020

This arrived yesterday @TrishB and I jumped straight in! I didn‘t know anything about Napoleon‘s wife so it‘s really interesting. Historical fiction at its best. I‘m loving it so far! 😀 👍

Hooray it‘s 7th and I can leave #Hell! But may have gone from the frying pan to the fire as I have arrived in #Paris whilst there is a revolution going on! Need to plan my trip better!
Thoroughly recommend the tagged book about Josephine Bonaparte which tells the early part of her life in diary form up to and through the French Revolution. Madame Tussaud is a book I want to get to.

After a lot of thought (too many to choose from) I have gone for one of my favourite historical trilogies (after all a trilogy is a mini #BookSeries). The Josephine B Series is refreshingly written in a very different style and absolutely loved it. Many thanks to @Melissa_J who many years ago recommended it to me in the first place. These books made me want to read more about Josephine Bonaparte.

I‘ve been in bed since Sunday with a killer cold, and today is the first day I‘m feeling like a human again. Lucky me that my #feedareader package arrived today with some awesome goodies and an amazing looking recipe! I can‘t thank you enough @Ingerella ! As soon as I get my taste back, I‘m going to try it!

Loved this trilogy about Josephine Bonaparte, the books had a very refreshing feel. Thanks for the initial recommendation @Melissa_J #WomenInHistory #MagicalMarch

First one of the trilogy read 😀 Great historical fiction- thanks to @Melissa_J
I didn't really know anything about Josephine (Rose!) so really enjoyed it. I can't binge read a series so the second one will probably wait a couple of days.

THIS is why I love #historicalfiction! Gulland does a wonderful job of bringing life to a prominent historical figure. She succeeded at skillfully weaving known facts into a sweeping story of romance, heartbreak, and a woman finding herself.

It's always nice to share a book with a friend.

I do believe this is the longest-titled book on my shelves. It's also past due a reread. #booktober #longtitle

On both the author for writing this wonderful trilogy and Josephine B herself = my #WCW. 😄 Excellent reading!

My all-time favourite book...The beginning of an awesome trilogy. I cannot say enough good things about these books. Could not put them down when I first read them and picked them back up again many times to read again!!
