Today is the 233rd anniversary of the Baiser Lamourette (Lamourette Kissing), where priest and representative Lamourette enjoined his colleagues to make peace with each other after some stormy debates in Parliament. Hence the hugs and kisses portrayed in this ink drawing kept in the Louvre museum. I cannot picture the same thing happening today 😁

Continuing with Van Gogh‘s sunflowers and this audio book- I am going to NEED a trip to France after this
28 books in June! 🤯 There was a few short books, but I was really trying to catch up on some of my challenges.
My favorite (non-reread) for June was The Nightingale! It was soo good, and the copy I have is gorgeous!
pickQuite possibly the most moving books I‘ve ever read- and I‘ve read quite a few. This is a historical fiction book following two brave sisters during wwii who not only ensured their survival, but the survival of others. To call them brave is an understatement. Read it.
