1. I figured out the entire last half the books plot when there was still over 50 pages left to the book! I literally threw the book down when I was finished.

This book was soooo bad! None of the characters‘ motivations made any sense, the epigraphs throughout the chapters were super eclectic, and so on. The only good thing about this book was that it was a quick read. Had it not been a book club pick, I wouldn‘t have bothered.

🌟🌟 I love her writing style but the story was way too easy to figure out. There was little mystery and no thrills.

I enjoyed this a great deal historical fiction with a twist ending. I could barely put it down!

I did like it, but, as it happens with these books which are similar in subject, themes and time period (The Miniaturist, Girl in Hyacinth Blue), my first temptation is to compare them all with Girl with a Pearl Earring, which is SO exquisite and probably my favorite art-inspired book. Oh, forget my ramble, pick it up, it's fast and entertaining.

This was a gift and I read it on a plane journey. I really enjoyed it. Love books that take true facts and make a fiction story. Loved it all. I watched the movie when I got home. The book was way better. @MrsMalaprop

Relaxing in one of my favourite cities. This was my plane read. I would have finished it but got seduced into watching a movie. I‘ll get it finished today. Though @MrsMalaprop once again I feel like I‘ve read it before. 😊.
It is another of my birthday presents from last year. I try to read one a month .

This book was ok. Short, predictable read. A bit boring really. I'm wondering if the movie was any better. Has anyone seen It?

Always a good sign when you can buy tulips in the supermarket again. No way near the end of winter but the end is in sight!

Last year for our anniversary we were going on a week long vacation. So I told my hubby don't waste money on flowers since I wouldn't be able to enjoy them. He surprised me with a bouqet of books with flowers in the title. The perfect gift for a reader. Ever since he has given me "flower books" for each holiday. I keep all the books and write down when I got them. These are my books for my annivesary this year.

A late bloomer in our garden! Why I love the 802.

Requested this one through ILL, but it wasn't available in our library's network - so they purchased a copy. My library is cool.

First book I've bailed on in years, but only seemed to be interested in one thing and that isn't my type of book!

My #FeistyFeb pick for today is the cover of my current book club pick.

Utterly enthralled with this cover art. Tulips are my favorite flowers and I can't wait to delve into this historical fiction beauty.

I read Tulip Fever this year because of my interest with Tulipomania and Dutch and Flemish art. It's really more of a soap opera love story than anything else, but I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it is; I read it in two days. I'm interested in seeing how it translates to film. #artrelatedbooks #seasonsreadings2016

Loved this tulip adorned caramel latte from the #fourseasonsdallas #fancy #bookbeverage

This popped up in my book bargains today and I remember how much I liked it when it came out. Might have to add to the TBR mountain before the movie comes out!

Perfect read to prepare for a trip to the Netherlands. Paintings inspiring a love story set amidst the tulipomania craze in the 17th century.
