elle: Life, Lessons, and Learning to Trust Yourself | Elle Macpherson

pick

I will admit, I initially purchased because it‘s Elle and she signed it. However, it turned out to be an interesting bio. Unfortunately not thinking pretty girls have depth is common and their thoughts dismissed. Elle dispels this and writes an interesting bio. Especially the look into the fashion industry, Hollywood, her alcoholism, and cancer. The new age stuff at the end she kind of lost me, but, I looked forward to reading it everyday.

The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich (a Graphic Novel) | Deya Muniz

#auldlangspine book 5

A delightful graphic novel where Lady Camembert disguises herself as a man to avoid marrying one, then falls in love with Princess Brie. I loved all the cheese names! It really fleshed out the world in a very humorous way that had me chuckling each time a new one was named. Loved Brie‘s friends along with Feta, Cam‘s servant. The conversations about women‘s rights were well done & didn‘t take away from the overall coziness.

MeganAnn In the author‘s note at the end it‘s mentioned that the story is based on the author and their wife which I loved. Overall another fun, heartwarming read that doesn‘t skip over the hard parts but rather deals with them in a way that feels authentically hopeful. 5⭐️ 1mo

Zuhkeeyah The cheese names for everything cracked me up. I'm holding onto Gouda as a potential dog name. This is a book I return to when I need a cozy happy read. 😊🥰 1mo

The Paris Novel | Ruth Reichl

so-so

It was a little too predictable for me but I love the idea behind it!

When Women Ran Fifth Avenue: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion | Julie Satow

so-so

It‘s more like a textbook than what I‘m used to with non-fiction but still some really interesting history nonetheless.

I have found my new author that when I need a calming read with food I‘m all in! Valentine makes shoes with her grandma in NYC…Little Italy, a new found love, a trip to Capri and family fights. Love this author and will read the next two of these.
