pickI enjoyed this imagining of the early life of Julia Child. I could definitely have imagined that Julia experienced these things. I really liked the development and blossoming of Paul and Julia‘s relationship. It did take me a bit to get into but once it picked up I enjoyed it.

bailedI wanted to like this, I realllllllllly wanted to like this, but I just couldn‘t muster up the enthusiasm to keep going. I made it to page 91 before calling it quits. I hope if you have it on your TBR, you give it a shot, maybe I bailed too soon? Idk if my comment below is a true spoiler, but better safe than sorry. It actually might help you if you‘re on the fence #HailTheBail
pickAnother book I never would have read if it weren‘t for a Litsy challenge. In this book a hobbyist searches for the missing people in #Palau - the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of WWII. I found this short book to be very interesting. #ReadingOceania24
pickGraham does an impressive job of making the roles of Research and Analysis agents into a tale of adventure and danger. Her writing is lively and interesting. The only time it slowed to a stroll was during the explanation of the science being utilized to attempt the creation of the atomic bomb. Occasional bits of fiction seemed a bit out of place in this type of narrative. Amazing! Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance digital copy.
I‘ve gotten behind on posting my books on here. I‘ve been traveling. So the next few posts are a dump of the rest of September books. First I started with this Bletchley series. I really love reading about the women who worked at Bletchley.
