Prompt: LETTERS

HISTORICAL FICTION - FRANCE

I fell in love with this book the minute Claire walked into the warmth of her childhood home as she returned to take care of her dying grandmother.

LETTERS FROM PARIS left me with a warm, cozy feeling because it was filled with history, family, Paris, love, and was simply a lovely read.

Coco Chanel: An Intimate Life | Lisa Chaney

so-so

A 2023 reading goal is to always have a nonfiction or biography running simultaneously with my fiction reading. This 2nd 2023 bio read conversationally while slipping into a Who‘s Who List on influential people Chanel mingled with. To sum it up, Chanel was mysterious, inventive, prone to mixing truth with omission and embellishment in the story of her life. Chaney tried to piece it together but it‘s very surface level and speculative at times. ⬇️

Jess_Read_This However, I was left knowing more about Chanel and the origins of No.5 than I did prior to the book. 5 was her lucky number and one of her first collections was launched on 5/5. I lost count of her affairs. She loved art, ballet, opera, and decor. She seemed unfulfilled as she lost loves and friends. Turning to morphine and sedatives, she was lonely. Yet she remained a trendsetting force. A fascinating life. #jessreads2023 (edited) 2y

The Bettencourt Affair: The World's Richest Woman and the Scandal That Rocked Paris | Tom Sancton

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Story of the world‘s wealthiest woman and the man she gave hundreds of millions of Euros to, maybe willingly, maybe by being taken advantage of. Lots of interesting bits, but also lots of details that could be hard to follow.

This is a love story to Paris. It has a strong sense of place. It has made me want to lessen more about locks and locksmiths!

Half-Blown Rose: A Novel | Leesa Cross-Smith

pan

I run our local B&N‘s book club. With that said…if I didn‘t run it I would not have read it. I would‘ve DNF if I could. I liked nothing about this book. I had high hopes. I don‘t know if it‘s her writing style which was hard for me to read. Or if it was the characters? Whatever it is I wasn‘t a fan. #bookspin #thebigjunereadathon #travelthroughbooks #parisfrance @TheAromaofBooks @Clwojick

TheAromaofBooks Hopefully it at least leads to some interesting discussions!! 2y

KristiAhlers @TheAromaofBooks goodness I hope so! Otherwise I tortured myself for no reason. One of the books we discussed I was literally the only one who finished the book 🙄. I‘m like well next time y‘all decide it‘s too stupid to read let me know 🤣 friends don‘t let friends read dreck! 2y

TLuvs I'm about to start it for the BN bookclub... what is the deal with so many of the books they choose, being this way? 2y

KristiAhlers @TLuvs we have been asking the same question. We‘ve decided someone at corporate is working through issues by their book picks 🤣. It‘s been bad enough that we have started a rogue book club as well. Each of us taking a month and picking a book. So far that‘s been way more fun than official book. We do both. However this one was my least favorite so far 🙄 all I could think was Dustin Hoffman and The Graduate 2y
