May was a light reading month for me due to work & work travel but I quite enjoyed this foodie mystery set in post WWII Paris with Julia Child the best friend of the MC so it‘s my May #12BooksOf2024 pick. I need to read the second book in the series one of these days.
Honorable mentions were The Seventh Power & A Tempest at Sea.
Merry Everything and Happy Whatever! I hope that some new books found you this season. I can‘t wait to dig into the books my family chose for me, while I break in my new tea set. And yes, that‘s a horrible amount of snow outside.
Olympics inspired quiche a La tomate nicoise for brunch. I forgot the cheese but it‘s still good enough to win a bronze (and more importantly to eat leftovers all week.)

1) I might use either of my teen-age nicknames, both based on fictional characters: Esme and/or Molly
2) tagged - though most people in Germany pronounce my name "Yoollya" ??
pick4 Stars • In "A Murder Most French," the second installment in the "An American in Paris" series by Colleen Cambridge, the story unfolds in postwar Paris, where American ex-pat Tabitha Knight and chef-in-training Julia Child find themselves entangled in a series of murders. The plot thickens as Tabitha and Julia attempt to unravel the mystery behind poisoned wine, which is linked to the darker corners of France's wartime past. ⬇️

My final late review of May, I read this one for my bimonthly virtual foodie bookclub. It was my pick & I chose it because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it but I ended up reading it on Kindle Unlimited & haven‘t opened the box yet. 🤦🏻♀️ Fun cozy set in France after WWII with Julia Child as the friend of the MC, Tabitha, a recent expat from Detroit living with her grandfather & his partner. I enjoyed it & ⬇️

The #Theater plays a major setting role in the book I just finished for my virtual foodie book club.
Got home last night after 22 hours of traveling with flight delays.😵 Crashed & slept mostly through to morning. Had to get up & run errands & now I‘m in the coffeeshop to read & do some journal catch up, but I‘m fading fast so a nap is definitely in my future.
I will be getting caught up & around to everyone‘s #5JoysFriday posts soon.💛🤗
