Since the German publisher doesn't seem to continue the series in German (what a shame - love their covers!), I'm just going to continue reading the books in English. Problem solved. I love Pentecost and Parker, I loved the plot and I loved that my guess was right. So yeah, I definitely will continue reading this series.

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🥳 that's good to be able to continue the series 📚💝💝💝. 2w

I'm way behind with my #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub reads but have every intention of catching up!

I enjoyed this one though I really felt every frustration that Miss MacFarren experienced. I'm glad Maxine was there to provide relief.

I enjoyed this little snapshot of two college girls spending the summer working at Tiffany‘s in NYC right at the end of WWII. A light, quick read. 4⭐️

An absolutely sweet memoir about the author‘s summer job at Tiffany in New York City. And what a summer it was! 1945… during the last months of World War II. Lots of interesting historical details of daily life are included, as well as some cute stories about working at such a glamorous place. Great fun!
Another #SundayBuddyRead winner. Thanks, @TheBookHippie !

TheBookHippie It was quite the treat! 3mo

I read this with the #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD group. I was sick and didn‘t participate much but have liked going back and reading the discussion. Again, not a book I would have chosen for myself but I found it to balance fluff & nostalgia pretty well. Overall, a good read for the month.

TheBookHippie I hope you feel better soon! 4mo
PuddleJumper Get well soon! 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo

This just wasn't for me. It's cute but these girls are naive and I don't know why they thought a book needed to happen. The only thing that made this ok imo was all the extra info that went into the group chat. And the cover. 😂

#Read2025 #MonthlyNonFiction2925

Finished today for #SundayBuddyRead I enjoyed this memoir-set in the summer of 1945 when the author & her best friend spend the summer in NYC. These Iowa University students become the first females to be pages at Tiffany & Co. It‘s a mostly light read about their experiences in the city & it was a good escape. Thanks to @TheBookHippie for the always wonderful hosting, discussions & research done along the way.🩵

TheBookHippie 🩵 it was a good one for May! 4mo
