A book that‘s been on my shelf for over 5 years is now #OffMyShelf 🎉

While I thought the pacing was inconsistent between the various time periods, I did enjoy this story. And now I want to go to Provence. 🇫🇷

Ruthiella Nice! 👍 3d
Bookzombie You are really knocking these out! It‘s awesome! 3d
marleed It‘s such bonus when a book languishing on my own shelves is a pick. I save my 5*: A+ and 4.75*: solid A reads. So if the book is really good, it‘s a dang, but I didn‘t clear my shelf situation! 3d
wanderinglynn @marleed I‘m okay keeping the book – as long as I‘ve read it. 😉 I‘m trying to get books off my TBR shelf. Or rather my TBR bookcase, which has gotten out of control. 3d

Just what I‘m after in a Verlaque and Bonnet mystery. The initial crime—the clearing out of a small museum over a long weekend—was an interesting change of pace.

CarolynM I‘m a fan of this series too. 1mo
kwmg40 Adding this series to my TBR list! 1mo
rabbitprincess @CarolynM I have only one left now 😢 such a treat of a series! @kwmg40 I can‘t remember if you have BritBox, but the first three books in the series were adapted under the title Murder in Provence 😄 1mo
kwmg40 @rabbitprincess I don't have BritBox but might be able to get this through Amazon Prime or another source. Thanks for the info! 1mo

My #DoubleSpin for this month was a quick read that spoke to my Hobbit self. Someday, I want to live somewhere surrounded by trees, even if that means I have to plant them myself.

Perfume from Provence | Lady Winifred Fortescue

Pickpick

This was wonderful! I loved the humorous picture of a Provençal village in the 1930s. Ex-Pat Lady Winifred was someone who (self-portrayed) loved a good time and enjoyed the wild ride of remodeling a home in a new land, with a different language and culture. A few descriptions are a little cringey, but overall I really enjoyed it and will absolutely put this in the reread pile.

3/5
Interesting book that can be read from start to finish, or in bits, depending on which articles catch your fancy. Each article is related to Provence, Peter Maybe sharing his knowledge, observations or personal experience, often with wit and humor.

HISTORICAL FICTION - FRANCE - ROMANCE

Who wouldn‘t want to go to Paris and photograph carousels?

This book will appeal to those who enjoy France, antiques, warm-hearted characters, the Provencal countryside, chateaus, and European history during WWII.

A charming, heart-warming read.

3/5
In this book, Peter Maybe travels around France for culinary events. He observes, and learns from locals about the food, sometimes how to eat it, how to cook it or prepare it...
It's a well-written light read.
⚠️ This book can make you hungry!!!
