The Black Tulip | Alexandre Dumas Pere

so-so

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. I had no idea that tulips were a big deal in the Netherlands. I was amazed at the obsession of the main character. It was a good story, but it did lose me at parts. 3⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Several years ago I read a nonfiction book about the tulip craze, and it was so interesting!! (Although pretty much devoid of pictures, which would have added soooo much.) What blew my mind was how much money they were paying for bulbs with no real guarantee as to what that tulip was actually going to look like!

Tulipomania: The Story of the World's Most Coveted Flower & the Extraordinary Passions It Aroused

@Catsandbooks and I are back! Taking nominations for countries for #foodandlit2025! It will be our fifth year hosting the challenge and we‘re very excited about it! @TheBookHippie previously posted all the countries from the last four years and I‘ll repost it so we can avoid duplicates. A reminder: we try to read a book about, set in, or by an author from the country and eat food indigenous to that month‘s country. Nominations open through Nov. 15
