Another Wednesday, another book + cocktail photo during Mama‘s Night Out! This week it‘s The Gown (I‘m apparently in my historical fiction era this month) and the Apples & Oranges which is a fall themed Moscow mule!

pickA history of the Capetians from Hugh through to Charles IV (before it passed to the Valois) focussing on each of the kings. I was familiar with some of them before (like Philip Augustus and Philip IV (the fair) but this helped to put them in sequence in a very readable way.
My last mini chunkster for the year! Starting this today and hope to read 10 pages a day and finish next month.

pickTimes are difficult and a small kingdom in southern France needs to forge an alliance with another. The King‘s solution is to marry Princess Tullia to an odious prince, but she wants nothing to do with this plan. The court magician, Anatole is torn. He has always looked after Tullia, but he is beholden to the King. A series of magical mishaps send the two on the run, but their flight may be doomed. This story was a magical 3/5 ⭐️ read.
“I‘m sorry,” I said, bracing myself for the inevitable backlash. When my Selection started, I‘d pictured it ending this way—with dozens of my suitors leaving at a time, many of them unprepared for their moment in the spotlight to be over.

Getting ready to take the kittens to get adopted (NOT ready 😭) so I gave them a bath. They were not amused whatsoever but it wasn‘t as bad as I thought it‘d be. Left to right: Butterbean, Cera, Bear & Nougat.

I could not hold my breath for seven minutes. I couldn‘t even make it to one. I once tried to run a mile in seven minutes after hearing some athletes could do it in four but failed spectacularly when a wide stitch crippled me about halfway in.

I recently binge watched The Serpent Queen on Starz & LOVED it. It‘s about Catherine de Medici, who was the queen regent of France in the 1500‘s. The show is based on the tagged book. It plays loose with history & has a magical realism element to it but I loved every second of this show. Catherine was such a badass. 😎
smartest one in the
room, always one step ahead —
the serpent queen reigns.

This time we were in the Great Room enduring another etiquette lesson when bricks came flying through the window. Elise immediately hit the ground and started crawling for the side door, whimpering as she went.
