pick“The measure of us isn‘t in the day-to-day. And it‘s not in our past or our future. It‘s in the fundamental changes we make within ourselves over a lifetime.”
This conclusion to the Jaipur Trilogy was so satisfying. Really enjoyed this series💜

Pumpkin spice latte and my book in the library - shall have a little browse of the newest books later, too.
I‘m on to Florence & Henry‘s part in this book. Loving it! #10beforetheend
pick2 parisian women 50 yrs apart experience different feelings abt maternity. Anna, in 2019, has had a miscarriage, a psychoanalyst, she finds solace in a neighbour's friendship. Florence, in 1972, wants a child, but her husband does not, + their affairs undermine their love. Touching upon love, loss, sexuality, and feminism the reader is drawn into a deep reflection on the nature + fragility of relationships. It is also a beautiful picture of paris
pickMarvelous book about a Paris hobo and 3 little red headed kids who help each other. Would be a good Hallmark movie but without the romance!
I picked this up somewhere, maybe at a Free Little Library and it looks promising. Makes me think of Gigot, the old movie, set in France. I like stories where someone helps orphans. It's a really old kids book.
so-so2.5/5
I liked the 1st part when she puts into context the sculpture, when she gives info about Degas which offers a better understanding of the work itself, and its harsh reception at the time.
I didn't like the digressions: pointless comparison of hardship, emotional judgements... These made it harder to read. I would have preferred more emotional distance from the writer, more structure too. In the
end, we don't know much more about the model

We do not care what else is happening this weekend, or what may come up. We will be attending the protest Saturday (if our joints cooperate), then promptly heading home to hermit up for the rest of the weekend. We do not want company. We will be reading, napping, and watching trash.
