mcctrish I bought the second and I need to move it up on my TBR list 4d

CSeydel Oh man I haven‘t read the second one yet! 4d

Deblovestoread I just saw this. So excited! 4d

tpixie @mcctrish @CSeydel @Deblovestoread I thought I‘d read Book 2 closer to book 3. I read too many books so I have a harder time remembering them. I think when I was younger, after I read a book I thought about it a lot more, which helped me remember them plus, I didn‘t read as many! 4d

Chelsea.Poole Ooh thanks for the post! I read book two but I didn‘t love it as much as the first one. I‘ll probably stick with it and see what happens in the third. 4d

tpixie @Chelsea.Poole hopefully the third will be a satisfying read! 4d

CSeydel Oh yeah that makes sense 4d

GatheringBooks Ooh! Thank you so much for sharing and for the tag! I already have book 2, and will now pre-order book 3. 4d

CBee @tpixie oooo book 3!! I need to get to #2 soon. 4d

BarbaraBB I had no idea there would be a third book! I still need to read the second one and fortunately it‘s my April #Roll100 book! 4d

squirrelbrain Like most others, I haven‘t read book 2 yet. #toomanybookstoolittletime 4d

tpixie @CSeydel @GatheringBooks @CBee 💙🩵💙 4d

tpixie @BarbaraBB that works out nicely! 💙🩵💙 4d

tpixie @squirrelbrain me either. If I do I‘ll read it right before the 3rd. Otherwise, it may just heighten my Mount TBR!! ⛰️ 4d

Lesliereadsalot Can‘t wait! I love these characters. 4d

tpixie @Lesliereadsalot yes! It kind of reminds me of this author that also writes about a community

Hannah Coulter: A Novel

Lesliereadsalot Will definitely look into her books! 4d

tpixie @Lesliereadsalot 🩵 4d

CSeydel Checked it out today from Libby 📖📲 3d

tpixie @CSeydel 🩵💙🩵 yay! 3d

TheKidUpstairs I'd love to do a buddy read! May would probably be best for me, I'm first on my library's hold list, but the book doesn't get released here until April 22. 7d

Deblovestoread Yes, please! And May would be great. I can‘t wait to read this book with you all. 7d

Lesliereadsalot Count me in! 7d

mcctrish May please, I‘m the same release date wise as @TheKidUpstairs 7d

Chelsea.Poole I loved The Postcard! I‘ll see if I can get my hands on this to join in 😊 7d

CBee @tpixie I still very much want to read The Postcard! May or June would be best for me if you end up organizing this ♥️ 7d

squirrelbrain Yes please! It‘s got an April 22nd release date here in the UK too. 7d

youneverarrived I‘d join in! 7d

kspenmoll I would love to join in! 7d

tpixie @TheKidUpstairs @Deblovestoread @Lesliereadsalot @mcctrish @Chelsea.Poole @CBee @squirrelbrain @youneverarrived @kspenmoll Sounds Great! I got confused on the release date because Bookshop.org has already sent me a notice that it‘s been shipped. But you‘re right it doesn‘t come out until April 22. Since it‘s being released late in the month, do you think it‘ll be easier for everybody to have the book by June instead of May? Decisions!! 😅 7d

mcctrish I‘m fine with June 7d

Lesliereadsalot I like June 7d

lauraisntwilder I'm in! May or June, either one. 6d

tpixie @lauraisntwilder @mcctrish @Lesliereadsalot Let‘s do June!! 🇫🇷 6d

tpixie @TheKidUpstairs @Deblovestoread @Chelsea.Poole @CBee @squirrelbrain @youneverarrived @kspenmoll Let‘s read in June! 6d

@CSeydel my heart is full of so many emotions after reading this beautiful book. I loved every minute of it. I wish I could write more but I‘m really just basking in this feeling that will without a doubt develop into a book hangover. Thank you for putting this on your list! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ #auldlangspine #ALSpine @monalyisha

CSeydel I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! I read it with #europacollective - never would have heard of it otherwise. I‘m looking forward to reading the second one

CBee @CSeydel I had an Amazon credit and I immediately used it to buy the second 😂 2mo

#25Alive! Day 20: My #FvWinterDrink is peppermint rum chata - but this one is a close second. Thoroughly enjoyed our final book for the #EuropaCollective. Scheduled my post at GatheringBooks in two weeks‘ time. 💕

tpixie I love rumChata. I‘ve never had peppermint. I bet that‘s really good. I love regular Baileys. I‘ve never seen this version.!! 2w

#25Alive! Day 11: Belle‘s #TakeCharge attitude when it comes to JP Morgan‘s collections totally impressed the brilliant man - and the rest is history. Review is forthcoming. Finished reading the book and absolutely loved it. #ReadTheWorld2025: France (translated from French) - although setting is mostly US based. #EuropaCollective

#25Alive! Day 7: Belle Greene lived a most #Prosperous and charmed life, as she served as a personal librarian to the illustrious and obscenely wealthy JP Morgan during New York‘s Gilded Age in the early 1900s. I can see this #EuropaCollective December pick being made into a riveting TV series. In my last few pages of this fascinating story. So happy to be part of the #EuropaCollective book club. Any 2025 edition, @jlhammar ? 🤩😍

tpixie @jlhammer isn‘t hosting for 2025, but I want to read Anne Berest‘s next book about her grandmother that made a cameo in The Postcard. It comes out April 22

The Damned Season | Carlo Lucarelli

pick

This is the second in the De Luca trilogy. Again, it is a book that uses a mystery framework to offer a slice of Italian history, this time set just after WW2 and the fall of Mussolini. Commissario De Luca is on the run and hiding his identity, fearing reprisals for his time in the secret police. He is discovered and he must help solve a crime in exchange for his release. The shifting morals and allegiances are quite interesting. #europacollective

Carte Blanche | Carlo Lucarelli

pick

Interesting short novel, the first of a trilogy, set in Italy just prior to the end of WW2. The story is a mystery, but what is far more interesting about Commisario De Luca‘s story is its setting, where Mussolini and fascism is on the verge of falling and the elite and other supporters are desperately attempting to build relationships to survive the upcoming transition. A fascinating slice of history wrapped in a mystery. #europacollective

#25Alive! Day 2: A strawberry mojito #Toast to our #EuropaCollective pick for December which I have not finished reading yet, unfortunately. 🙈

Lcsmcat My book club read one about the same woman (tagged) and I was unimpressed with the novel but fascinated by the woman. How does this one stack up?

The Personal Librarian

GatheringBooks @Lcsmcat i am really enjoying it, thus far. It‘s giving me Gilded Age vibes with the Astors and Rockefellers. What a world, and what a remarkable woman she was. 3mo

Lcsmcat Yes, she was amazing. I‘d like to find a good nonfiction book about her. 3mo

GatheringBooks @Lcsmcat this may be it. The pace is good, narrative style is absorbing, the references are sound. It reads like fiction but very clearly backed up by solid research, too. 3mo

Eggs Beautifully done 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

tpixie @Lcsmcat I agree with @GatheringBooks books. This is a great account. It‘s fiction, but feels like nonfiction. It covers much more that Marie Benedict‘s novel- although I enjoyed them both. This one may give you what you were missing from Benedict‘s novel. (edited) 2w

GatheringBooks @tpixie I am so glad to see that you‘ve read the book, too! One of my faves this year. I reviewed it here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-r26 2w

tpixie @GatheringBooks thanks!!! 😊 2w

#12booksof2024 @Andrew65

This is a quietly powerful novel in stories following the residents of a small Maine town, their secret hopes and fears, the ordinariness of their daily lives and their major turning points. Beautiful read and my second of the year that I owe to #Europacollective

CBee I meant to tell you that I asked for this for Christmas and got it 😊👏🏻 3mo

Lesliereadsalot Don‘t miss the sequel Where the Forest Meets the River. 3mo

CSeydel @CBee Yay! 3mo
