This was such a fun read and just perfect for reading between Christmas and New Year‘s 🤩 There was enough of an interesting plot (and humor) to keep me engaged but it wasn‘t too hard to follow with all the hubbub of this week with family and stuff going on. I just ordered two of his other books, “The President‘s Hat” and “The Red Notebook”. Happy to end 2023 on a great note!
Thank you very much for the amazing #JolabokaflodSwap23 goodies, @robinb - I‘ve had this book on my TBR list since 2018 😂 I can‘t wait to start it!! And thank you for all the delicious chocolate! The hazelnut one sounds especially yummy 😍 Thank you for hosting @MaleficentBookDragon 💚❤️💚
Merry Jolabokaflod to all, and to all a good night! 🍫📖
pickI'm not sure what I expected but I know I didn't expect what I got and that's a very good thing. I really enjoyed this story that starts out in the 2000-teens with an eclectic group of 4. Three Parisians and one American. After an unfortunate incident of one of them being locked in a cellar and subsequently rescued by another in the group, they all get together to share a cellar find, a rare bottle of 1954 Beaujolais.

I heard about this book on the Strong Sense of Place Podcast- which I learned about on the podcast What Should I Read Next. I think it will fit in nicely to my 🇫🇷 Paris-themed reading. I was delighted to learn I‘ve already read this author. I loved his book the Red Notebook, and have been wanting to read more of his books. So here it goes… 🇫🇷

pickI enjoyed this whimsical foray into 1950‘s Paris. Antoine Laurain has the ability to cast a romantic light on the past without ignoring the things that have changed for the better over the years. This is a light, fun read that is an excellent escape from the dark times we are living in. #timetravel
So we‘re leaving for Disney World tomorrow and let me tell how you how excited I am! Why?
1. We‘re driving (well not me - the husband is driving while I read). I get 6 hours of reading time on the way there and back!
2. It‘s scheduled to rain!
So like - I‘m basically being chauffeured while I read and then holing up in a condo, where I‘m gonna pray for rain, and read. In other words - this is my perfect vacation! 😀

I‘m in Upper Peninsula Michigan but I‘m in Paris in my book.
