Can't believe we've gone from snow and freezing rain to a random day at 20 Celsius!! Heading back down to colder temperatures tonight though ☹️. Staring this one for #authoramonth . I enjoyed the first book in this series so thought I'd give book 2 a read. Looking forward to journeying into Ancient Rome! @Soubhiville

Very good. Follows Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden and their quest for dominance of the beauty industry. Full of historical detail and drama. Even though I had heard of Elizabeth Arden before I didn't know much but this book has filled in some of my knowledge of her.

A wonderful Litten (I feel awful - I've completely forgotten who) sent me a parcel of books a few years ago (now our post office system has almost completely collapsed). I read Fates and Furies and it was good, but intense. I can't explain why it took me so long to pick this one up. Her writing is definitely unique; I often find it difficult to understand her characters emotionally. But the story is engrossing and the magical realism so well done.

BarbaraJean I haven‘t yet read anything by Lauren Groff, though I‘ve been meaning to! (I own Fates & Furies and Arcadia already 🤦🏻‍♀️) Which of her books do you recommend? 6h
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @BarbaraJean I've only read these two. For some reason the cover of Florida really captivated me, even though I think I missed that it was short stories, which I sometimes don't like 6h
MommyWantsToReadHerBook @BarbaraJean I think you would like Monsters. The description of Arcadia sounds really good too. Maybe I'm being unkind to Fates and Furies but my memories of it are a bit depressing. 6h

Women's Hotel: A Novel | Daniel M. Lavery

4-3-25: My 22nd finished book of 2025! Soft historical fiction tale about one of many “women‘s hotels” in the NYC area during the times ranging from late 40s through early 60s. For the singletons of the time, these hotels offered young women a decently priced place to lay their heads upon arriving in the Big Apple for the first time. Following many storylines of the girls who lived at the Biedermier Hotel it was at times fun but sad as well.
