#NewBookHasMorePagesThanLastBook

Cooking for Picasso | C A Belmond, Camille Aubray

Mehso-so

I‘ve read similar historical fiction books featuring artists and their inspirations, but this one just fell flat for me. I appreciated the second half more than the first half - I felt that parts of the storytelling were not needed, or could have been shortened. It was just a so-so read for me. #SundayBuddyRead #BookChain2024 #NewBookHasMorePagesThanLastBook

Hooked_on_books I‘m sometimes reluctant to read fiction featuring famous historical figures. I think some authors do a great job with this concept but others really miss, which I find a bit cringey. 5mo
Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books Some authors are not great bringing out historical figures…I completely agree! In this one, the author really brought out Picasso‘s womanizing. Her writing style, on the other hand, just did not really do anything for me. 5mo

Librarybelle @Read4life Admittedly, I didn‘t think of it as the prompt until I happened to look on Storygraph! Then, I realized it would fit! 😂 5mo
