Gloriously readable after a week of academic text!
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

I bought this book last year in Paris at #TheRedWheelbarrow bookstore from Penelope, the proprietor. Today, we actually saw Chartes itself!
(the book was great!)
Snap- had to cut off the bottom!
I hope to finish up this book today. It‘s one of the 4 books I bought in Paris. I‘ve been home sick this week, hopefully my headache allows me to read today.

I‘m so excited I made it to The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore!
I heard about it on the podcast #TheEarfulTower. Penelope, the bookstore owner, was charming and urged me to buy a book it‘s not published in America yet! (A Jewish Girl In Paris). Luckily, my son is with me to help me carry the books around Paris today! 🤩 And now these treasures are coming home with me!

pickPostal book club for the win, once again.
I likely would never have read this book without our book club, and I would have missed out on a fascinating story, excellent writing, and memorable characters. Loved the gorgeous French setting, and I‘ve now spent a bunch of time looking up history and images of the cathedral in Chartres. 😍

FEATURING: THE CLEANER OF CHARTRES by Sally Vickers
This book is beautifully written, has outstanding characters with depth, includes mystery and intrigue, has a plot that will keep you engaged, and a tale you won‘t want to end.
FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/y4zevyjy
I'm quite enjoying this book but every so often Sally Vickers writes a flurry of unnecessarily obscure words for very simple concepts in a way I find irritating.
Even after the fire at Notre Dame, I didn't realise this was the case
