To Marry an English Lord | Gail MacColl, Carol Wallace

pick

This was a fascinating book with tons of pictures and accompanying blurbs/fun facts. The anglomania of the late 19th century/early 20th century included a lot of American heiresses marrying British aristocracy. It was a win win situation—the bankrupt Brits provided the titles and the Americans provided the cold hard cash. #paralondis

The Queen's Confession: A Fictional Autobiography | Victoria Holt

Thanks to everyone for your book recommendations! My pre-Euro trip stack keeps growing and shifting, with a heavy emphasis on Versailles 😆 Now if only Winky would stop gnawing and I could decide where to start...

ravenlee I think Winky votes for the top to start. 5y

kspenmoll Winky is caught!!! Sweetie!!! 5y

Leftcoastzen 😻I need to read more Zola ! 5y

Cinfhen I just posted a recommendation in case you want to add one more to your pile...it‘s banana pants but pretty fascinating

Little: A Novel

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen @emilyhaldi or if you fancy less magical realism and a more accurate portrayal of the French Revolution and Madame Tussaud's role, try

Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution

Reviewsbylola Winky‘s such a little bitch. 😂 #paralondis 5y

TK-421 Adorable! 😹😻 5y

AmyG Awwwww. My cat loved to rub against book cover corners. ❤️ 5y

Cinfhen @jenniferw88 I think you suggested that book before...I‘m curious but I think it was a #chunky 🤔😰 5y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen yeah, it is a #chunky! If you get on with Wolf Hall you should be ok - it actually has fewer pages! (Wolf has 604, Tussaud has 446!) 5y

LeahBergen Make sure you read The Queen‘s Confession BEFORE the Antoinette biography. The novel is quite “history light” but I found it really good for whetting my appetite for more French history. 😃 5y

emilyhaldi Little sounds good!!! @Cinfhen I put a request in at my library 🤗 5y

sumaiyya.books I love your cat 😹🖤 5y

To Marry an English Lord | Gail MacColl, Carol Wallace

My favorite place to read is the dance studio parking lot. Every Saturday morning I get almost two hours to read in my car while my girls have their lessons. I love it because there are no household chores calling my name and no kids interrupting me. 😂

I‘m starting these two books in anticipation of our trip to London and Paris in two months! #paralondis (hashtag inspired by Flo 😆)

Reagan I love reading time while I wait during activities! 5y

intothehallofbooks Reading in the car during lessons and clubs is THE BEST. 5y

TrishB Best 2 hours ever! 5y

Mdargusch I‘ve read both and I loved Mrs. Bird! 5y

Villette | Charlotte Bront�

What a slog. I could have cried from boredom reading this book. I usually love a good Bronte, and going by the synopsis, this sounds right up my alley. But holy hell, I can‘t think of a book in recent memory that was less preferable than watching paint dry. #newyearwhodis (sorry @emilyhaldi 😬) #classicschallenge2020 #paralondis

saresmoore Bahahaha! I so loved this book, but I‘ve also been known to sit patiently while paint dries. 🤷‍♀️ 5y

LeahBergen What the hell is wrong with you?? 😆😆 5y

Reviewsbylola I wish I knew! 🤪 @LeahBergen 5y

Hooked_on_books At least it has a pretty cover! 5y

Biblionut This book started out great but lost me in the middle and I never recovered. 😂 I‘m right there with you. 5y

Kalalalatja Love your negative reviews 😂😂😂 5y

monalyisha Yikes! 💀 Lovely cover, though! (I‘m with @Hooked_on_books) 5y

emilyhaldi Thank you!! @saresmoore @LeahBergen for confirming my own thoughts on this one 😆 Sorry you didn't enjoy it Steph 😬 I really loved Lucy's story, and the end had me 😱 5y

Reviewsbylola Ok, so maybe I didn‘t even bother reading the last 100 pages. 🤪 @emilyhaldi 5y

staci.reads One of only a handful of books I've ever abandoned in my life. I got halfway through. It's still sitting on a shelf 3 years later because I keep telling myself I'll get back to it. 5y

Mdargusch 🤣🤣🤣 5y
