Bloomsbury Girls: A Novel | Natalie Jenner

I think I preferred the first book, the Jane Austen Society, but I still found it an enjoyable read. I like reading books set in bookshops. It was lovely to see certain characters again and to meet new ones. I like the inclusion of real life personalities, too, like Daphne du Maurier. I can recommend these books.

The Lion Women of Tehran | Marjan Kamali

Oh my goodness! I loved it!
A story of two young girls of different backgrounds becoming best friends during the 1950s in Tehran, and growing up in different worlds. Along with the themes of friendship, forgiveness, women's freedom, and learning to love, we also learn the history of how women lost their rights in Iran. I grew to like Ellie (though she got on my nerves a few times) but I loved Homa. It was realistic and bittersweet. I give it 5 ⭐️

In which Whyborne makes a series of questionable decisions and is forced to reexamine some things that he had always felt were true, about his family and his place in it - and Griffin & Christine remain supportive (even though they both would be well within their rights to slap him)

It‘s not as picturesque as yesterday‘s reading spot - but I‘m enjoying a little respite from the wind (and lunch!)

Marginalized by society and family, Lady Augusta and Lady Julia Colebrook, judged spinsters, seek meaning and purpose. Augusta (Gus) is bolder than her sister, but Julia can hold her own. In separate chapters, they embark on quests to protect or rescue woman who have been preyed upon by men. Along the way they become powerful, and may find love. Set in Regency England and well researched, it was a great read to counter the election results.

DogMomIrene Those travel capsules look stylish and functional👏🏼 2d
Lesliereadsalot They are truly amazing. Expensive, but then you never have to buy those hard to clean and label annoying little jars from the drugstore! @DogMomIrene 2d
