It has been months since I‘ve completed a prompt for this challenge. Thanks to @ChaoticMissAdventures for this recommendation. I really enjoyed it.
After confiding in her grandmother that she sees her deceased grandfather, Eugénie finds herself committed to the Salpêtrière asylum.

Starting the weekend off with a vanilla latte and The Painted Girls for the #BookedInTime read.

Only a couple of chapters into the tagged but think it is going to be a great read. Got about halfway through Heartbreaks driving today. I enjoy reading a holiday themed book this time of year especially one with a different culture or religion. This one has some heavy themes but author promised an HAE in her forward. I‘m about 25% into The Passenger Seat. I‘ll read a bit more tonight but it‘s feeling like DNF is a possibility.
Just posting a quick hi to Litsy members. 🙋♀️ I joined here after looking for a laid-back and fun reading platform. Knowing most reading challenges begin with the New Year, December seemed like a good month to start.
About me: I volunteer at an animal shelter and only work part-time. My reading preferences vary depending on my interests or mood but I often seek out nonfiction, classics, fantasy or HF books. I also enjoy music and hiking.
pickI had never heard of Belle and it was fascinating to read about her. Such a strong and brave woman! The way she built herself up to be one of the first successful career woman is truly inspiring. The book touches on a number of issues including racism and equality. Another main focus is art and manuscript collecting. There were sections it was slow but the writing made you want to read each word. It was refreshing to read a book in first person.
My choice for #BookedinTime December #buddyread is Julian Barnes (2019), The Man in the Red Coat. This follows renowned surgeon Samuel Pozzi through Paris in the late 19th century and early 20th century, highlighting the free flowing ideas of science, philosophy, and culture.

so-soThis was okay. Many interesting ideas about time travel and how you would view the time before. I thought there were some ideas not explored enough (I kept thinking about smells which he barely mentioned). It is interesting to read something written 50 years ago that is a time travel book , you have to "travel" back to the 70s to think about what he would know and how different another 80 years would be.
Kindred ruined me for these types ?
