Yet another Wednesday, yet another cocktail + book! I really enjoy having an evening just to decompress with good food, good drink, and a good read. This week, the cocktail is from their holiday menu and called the Ron Burgundy (scotch, apricot brandy, cinnamon, lemon, and a float of Pinot Noir). Perfect for a cold December evening!
pickThis is my 1st Quinn book, & I enjoyed it. Set during the Korean War & the McCarthy era, it‘s a story about a group of women living in a boardinghouse. Each main character gets her own section from her POV, with all her secrets, romances, & past exposed to the reader. Loved the friendships that formed from their weekly dinners & how each changed during a 4-5 yr period. The men were good supportive characters, too. TW: death, DV

pickI loved seeing a more personal side of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip. The author did a wonderful job of bringing warmth and humanity to these iconic figures. I enjoyed how a touching love story was woven throughout the novel.Christmas is my favorite time of year,& I loved reading about how the Royal Family celebrated it across different years.This book beautifully captures both royal tradition &the timeless spirit of Christmas.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it was so well written and engaging. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good historical. A friendship made story. Secrets revealed. And so much more.
pickAbsolutely loved this one! Fantastic characters and a truly compelling storyline. Adding all of Kate Quinn‘s other books to my TBR now! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
