May was a light reading month for me due to work & work travel but I quite enjoyed this foodie mystery set in post WWII Paris with Julia Child the best friend of the MC so it‘s my May #12BooksOf2024 pick. I need to read the second book in the series one of these days.

Honorable mentions were The Seventh Power & A Tempest at Sea.

Andrew65 A good pick. 3w

Merry Everything and Happy Whatever! I hope that some new books found you this season. I can‘t wait to dig into the books my family chose for me, while I break in my new tea set. And yes, that‘s a horrible amount of snow outside.

julesG Lovely presents! Happy Holidays! 1mo

Olympics inspired quiche a La tomate nicoise for brunch. I forgot the cheese but it‘s still good enough to win a bronze (and more importantly to eat leftovers all week.)

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) I might use either of my teen-age nicknames, both based on fictional characters: Esme and/or Molly

2) tagged - though most people in Germany pronounce my name "Yoollya" ??

TheSpineView Interesting way to pronounce your name. Thanks for playing! 7mo
julesG @TheSpineView A "J" is pronounced like a "Y" (as in you, young, yeah) in German, I don't mind that so much. But even as a native speaker of German I still don't understand why the first syllable is shortened and the "I+A" turns into "Y+A" in most mouths, especially after I've pronounced my name as "YouLeeAh" (exaggeration). Maybe I should change my first name after all. ?? 7mo

4 Stars • In "A Murder Most French," the second installment in the "An American in Paris" series by Colleen Cambridge, the story unfolds in postwar Paris, where American ex-pat Tabitha Knight and chef-in-training Julia Child find themselves entangled in a series of murders. The plot thickens as Tabitha and Julia attempt to unravel the mystery behind poisoned wine, which is linked to the darker corners of France's wartime past. ⬇️

suvata As Tabitha investigates, she faces personal danger and navigates her complicated relationship with Inspector Mervielle. The book is noted for its rich setting and culinary details, with the mystery itself taking a backseat to the atmosphere and cuisine of the city. 7mo

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

My final late review of May, I read this one for my bimonthly virtual foodie bookclub. It was my pick & I chose it because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it but I ended up reading it on Kindle Unlimited & haven‘t opened the box yet. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fun cozy set in France after WWII with Julia Child as the friend of the MC, Tabitha, a recent expat from Detroit living with her grandfather & his partner. I enjoyed it & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …I‘m looking forward to the 2nd book (tagged below) in the American in Paris series that just came out in April. Paired here with Julia‘s (Hot or Cold) Cream of Cucumber Soup. I am late on my blog post but will add in the link to the recipe once I‘m done. 8mo
