The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor--the Truth and the Turmoil | 
pickReading this book felt like a good late-night gossip with a new friend over a bottle of red wine. I might regret it in the morning but it was fun while it lasted. Frankly, the entire 600 pages might have been worth it just for the passage in which Tina Brown compares the Queen to Logan Roy.
Lunch break today was a good one: everything bagel sandwich, book, courtyard, lovely flowers and friendly neighborhood kitty for company (not pictured)

pickFor #travelthroughbooks we visit England with this non-fiction tell. I must say the author goes into great detail unwrapping all the secrets from Camillagate to Harry and Meghan leaving for the states. It‘s a lengthy read but interesting. #england #springread
TIL that Prince Philip got exasperated with ads on his Kindle and threw it into his bathtub, and although this is a funny image, what is even funnier is that his wife, one of the world's wealthiest women, would not spring for an extra twenty bucks to disable the ads.
The Queen of England is cheaper than my husband! Who knew?
Tina Brown on Diana:
“I don‘t subscribe to the now pervasive narrative that Diana was a vulnerable victim of media manipulation, a mere marionette tossed about by malign forces beyond her control. While strongly sympathetic to her sons‘ pain, I find it offensive to present the canny, resourceful Diana as a woman of no agency, as either a foolish, duped child or the hapless casualty of malevolent muckrakers.“
