Beautiful Exiles | 
As Skinner squeezed four perfect grapefruit and eight clean limes one by one into a rusty blender and topped them with a frightening amount of rum and a maraschino drizzle, Hemingway said, “I knew St. Louis in my youth. All the women in the world worth knowing come from St. Louis.”
Added some lime sherbet the the listed ingredients and it‘s pretty good #foodspiration
bailedIt‘s been a while & I have a lot of posts to catch up on - here we go...
This was a Bingo/Make Me Read It pick by @Kalalalatja 🙂. Unfortunately it wasn‘t for me - turns out I‘m not so interested in Hemingway & his wives 🤷🏻♀️. But fortunately, it‘s one more step up #MountTBR 🙌🏻. Thanks for the pick, @Kalalalatja 🙂
pickSo much realness. A real life married couple pronounced “writer and writer” makes for an FASCINATING emotional, whirlwind of a book. Interesting World War II bits of history that just don‘t make it into most mainstream productions.
A true JEWEL to be experienced. Beware; lots of other treasured books are mentioned throughout the novel. A novel based on one of the most “volatile and intoxicatingly real-life love affairs of the twentieth century”

Started this on one of my train journeys last week- got about 1/3 of the way in and just lost interest - so have bailed for now! May return....
This is the 2nd book I‘ve read about Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn, an author that he met in Key West. It‘s interesting to see how two different authors have written a historical novel about a real life couple.
Starting this book today and I can't stop reading it now. It's about the relationship between Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway and I'm completely obsessed! At one point they said #idoidoido #AbbainAugust
I've never turned down multiple free books before and today seems like a bad time to start.
I‘m going to pick this one for my July Kindle first...
I‘m all about Hemingway and this looks great!
What‘s everyone choosing?
Trying to figure out why I need to read this one after recently finishing Love and Ruin, but who am I kidding? I‘ll probably pick it because Martha Gellhorn and her first husband are fascinating. #amazonfirstreads
