After a long day yesterday I was too tired for #hyggehourreadathon but made up for it today by taking an extended walk and stopping to smell the flowers. Sadie enjoyed the springtime flowers as well.

pickAfter her brilliant, artist father died on 9/11, Joan ended up giving up most of her dreams only to find herself, 9 years later, in a boring job and a boring marriage. Her marriage implodes and she accepts a job couriering some art to Paris only to have it stolen and replaced with pages from her dad's missing notebooks. She and her one night stand end up on a treasure hunt around Paris to get the art back and find out who has her dad's notebooks.
I‘m looking forward to reading The President‘s Hat as my #ReadOrDonate selection this month. It has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. 🎩. Plus, it takes place in Paris! 🎶 April in Paris… 🎶

I‘m hosting the April/May round of the blogger virtual foodie book club I belong to & the tagged book is what I selected for our #BookClubRead 🔪💙 (Mostly because I have a #OnceUponABookClub box for it! I‘m excited to start reading & open up the #OUABC gifts!) 😉🤗
pickAction packed. While Jack Morgan is visiting Private‘s Paris office he is asked to protect a top client‘s granddaughter. Somehow she is tied in with violent criminals. As Morgan investigates, he is asked to help with some murders which keep bumping into a war starting…are they all somehow tied into one another?

PROMPT: WITH TWO+ AUTHORS
Three women, three different time periods, three different situations, but they all find the Ritz of Paris to be their comfort zone.
The 3W's did it again!! ALL THE WAYS WE SAID GOODBYE is another marvelous, well-researched, difficult-to-put-down tale.

pickApproachable and absorbing social and cultural history. I pulled this off the shelf while reading The Postcard and it turned out to be a great companion read. I went with a combination of audio (good narration) and print (black and white photos throughout).
