pickI finished this memoir in two days. It slid down like the perfect wine, accompanied by scintillating company. She writes from the heart, tells charming stories, and keeps her readers anxious to know her next steps. The element I loved the most in Anselmo‘s journey is that the solution doesn‘t come in the form of a man, Parisian or otherwise. Fun and poignant!

This book isn‘t about #genealogy at all. It‘s about a woman reinventing herself, but she makes this friend who invites her to a weekend house party in his Burgundy family home. I think she‘s right that knowing your family history can make you feel a little immortal. But, more than that, it‘s all those ancestors who gain immortality because we still talk about the. Maybe someone will do that for me someday! #immigrants #history #family
My latest audiobook. Needing to make changes in your life is something I can really relate to right now. Liking it so far
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." ?
#TBRtemptation post! A memoir which just came out a couple months ago, this book is said to follow in the same vein as "Eat, Pray, Love" and "Wild". It's about a woman who loses her best friend--her mother--and decides to confront her fear of change by hopping the Atlantic and moving to Paris, where she buys an apartment. Which sets off a chain of events she never anticipated. Of course I want to read this ?! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook
pickJust what I needed. Charming and easy. It's not A Moveable Feast but for a little while I could return to Paris in my mind.
Have had a few rough days (who knows all the reasons why), so I needed something sweet and charming, something to give me hope. I found it!
Bookmail perfect for #NationalCoffeeDay. A big thank you to St Martin's Press and Kensington! 💕📚☕️ As an aside, I actually just watched Lisa Anselmo last week in an episode of House Hunters International where she is searching for her Paris apartment. Very cool!
