Should I spend my summer in Cornwall, Copenhagen, California, or the French Countryside? I am feeling excited about #14books14weeks2023 and getting some traction on #serieslove23 at the same time. It‘s going to be a good good Summer!

Librarybelle Lots of great options! 11mo

I get that after 13 books you have to try something new in a series. So this book was ok because I know and like the characters and this got me over the fact that actually… nothing happened.

I bought this in 2013 in an occult science phase, started it in Dec. and finished last night. Pages of Hermetic magic, Latin untranslated, and the odd life of G Bruno and his spiritual infinite universe and mind, with memory, containing all things. He was burned in Rome in 1600.

The link between the drives of the metaphysical perspectives of religion, magic, and science may be a kind of enlightenment moment. Bruno might make a nice center point.

Music in all its forms permeates this book.Bruno has organized a music festival & hopes to revitalize the career of an aging rock star. In the midst of this preparation, a Russian oligarch & his multinational conglomerate infiltrates the area under different guises. A sudden death might possibly be linked to the Russians.Of course there is Bergerac wine paired with mouth watering Perigord farm fresh meals enchanting me as I read.

Ncostell I have the first book in this series-you‘re inspiring me to move it up in my TBR pile! 2y
kspenmoll @Ncostell It‘s a great series!!! 2y

Waiting for next in Inspector Gamache series from Louise Penny so thought I‘d take up where I left off in Bruno Courreges series. Superficial similarities between the two…male policemen who enjoy food, native French speakers, take place in small rural towns (one in France and one in Canada). That‘s where the similarities end. I prefer Louise Penny‘s writing, which gives me glimpses into the minds of the recurring characters and is more lyrical.

Back in Bruno‘s world of food, wine, horseback riding music, & murder.

LiteraryinLawrence The world sounded really good until the murder part. 😋 2y

Bruno‘s feasts:his region‘s local
produce,cheeses,meat,&wine that fill it‘s markets,and Bruno‘s table. Mouthwatering!
Bruno investigates the death of a wealthy American heiress.In doing so,he finds himself catapulted into the art world,where allegations of false attribution to paintings acquired during/post WWII linger,creating a pall over a former resistance fighter.A falconer,a singer reminiscent of Josephine Baker add to the mix.

Suet624 Are you tucked under that blanket? 2y
kspenmoll @Suet624 Good eyes! I am- my legs are under there! I cannot complain about cold to you, but it‘s 13 degrees & on a quick descent! 2y
Suet624 @kspenmoll I decided to check the temperature. It's -5 F and expected to go to -12 F. I had no idea it was that cold right now. Anyway... you can always complain to me about the cold. Cold is cold. 2y

#booksandcoffee #mugtour

In 2016 we jumped in our car for a scenic ride to Stockbridge, MA. After a tour of the Norman Rockwell Museum & its grounds, we ate a scrumptious lunch in the outdoor Courtyard of The Red Lion Inn, an Historic Landmark. When perusing through town we discovered the once Back Room restaurant that was memorialized by Arlo Guthrie‘s iconic song, “Alice‘s Restaurant.” That‘s me pictured in front of the building on Alice St.
