Can't believe we've gone from snow and freezing rain to a random day at 20 Celsius!! Heading back down to colder temperatures tonight though ☹️. Staring this one for #authoramonth . I enjoyed the first book in this series so thought I'd give book 2 a read. Looking forward to journeying into Ancient Rome! @Soubhiville

Read some good books in March - but The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable takes top spot for the month. I knew nothing about this book as it was a gift so definitely a nice surprise!

Note: Not my template - off Pinterest.

While probably more fiction than historical fiction, this book captured me. A story about Anna Maria della Pieta and her journey with music. There is not much known about her but I think the author did well in writing a story around what is known about her. It is mainly a story about her and how she sees, feels and senses her music. The descriptions of colours blended with music are inspiring.

My next (mini) chunkster! This one is not as long as ones we‘ve read in the past, but I‘m trying to be realistic…my oldest graduates at the end of May. Senior year is definitely as busy as I‘ve been warned, and I‘m definitely starting to feel all the emotions! 👩‍🎓

Amiable I didn‘t get emotional until senior year of college. Because they came home every summer until then. It was that graduation where they moved out for good that got me in the feels. 😬 3d

The story is that I am trying to catch up with my friend (Buddy Read). She could not stop reading and finished all 4 novels in the Quartet. The relationship between the protagonists (two) is … I don‘t even know what to say. Elena Ferrante is anonymous. I betcha she is writing a story about her own friendship. I don‘t even think one of the greatest authors can make this stuff up. It‘s the epitome of a love/hate relationship. (This is Book Two)

Mistress of Rome | Kate Quinn
Pickpick

Kate Quinn brings a tale of living in Rome in the first century. The age of gladiators fighting to the death in the arena. This was a time brutal punishment and a very different way of life. There are lots of slavery and mistresses and whores. Lepida Pollia is a terrible and conniving woman with no integrity or morals. This has been my least favorite of Kate Quinn‘s novels. However, I still have it 4/5⭐️

Continuing this book while our littlest attends her first birthday party without me 😭. She is quite shy so staying near by in the car in case she wants to leave early. And yes the snow has been gone for a couple of weeks and now this is what it looks like after last night's dumping 🙁

I'm loving this book so far. The descriptions of how she sees music are beautiful! I've been fully transported into the book and I just want to keep reading!

BooksandCoffee4Me I totally understand the tears. I pray she‘s having fun and meets someone kind. My son had adhd/Asperger‘s and didn‘t make friends easily. During the ninth-grade orientation social, I also waited in the parking lot anticipating his desire to leave early. BUT as the social wound down, he still hadn‘t come to the car. Finally, he opened the car door, exclaimed “I have a friend!” and the following Friday night I was crying as he was invited over!💛 (edited) 6d
Jess861 @BooksandCoffee4Me This makes my heart happy - I'm so glad your son had such a good experience at 9th grade social! 9th grade is terrifying, lol.

These parents, bravely, invited the whole class so she knew the kids but is just shy in new situations. She ended up having a blast for the entire party!
