List the 5 things big or small that brought you joy this week, tag your post with #5JoysFridqy & tag me & a few friends to spread the joy. Use the background as you like.

britt_brooke You would love Paris! 💚 I'm tagging two historical fiction books for you that are excellent French Revolution reads. We took a day trip to Versailles while there and it was spectacular! 8y

Jess7 @britt_brooke Nice! Some historical fiction I love, particularly a lot surrounding the Holocaust (Boy In The Striped Pajamas, The Book Thief and others) but the ones that focus primarily on war and battles don't suit me. I'm also not a fan of historical fiction that changes major events in history in a non obvious way. I am interested in Marie Antoinette though so I'll have to check that one out and I'll look at the other one too! Thanks! 🤗 (edited) 8y
Jess7 No @MinDea is it good? 8y
EllieDottie I also did not like 1984! 8y
Sha0102 I do the same at restaurants and bars waiting for friends! 8y
MinDea I don't know. I haven't read it. Was wondering if you did! 8y

BookishFeminist I really enjoyed this short book recently about a man with a tiger trapped inside him 9y
BookishFeminist This is by the same author (Eka Kurniawan) and is a family saga about an Indonesian prostitute with lots of commentary on female oppression & military rule- really good. 9y
Lindy Murder mystery set in India: 9y
Titania @KarenUK @Lindy @BookishFeminist Thank you all! Off to see what is available at my library! 9y
RinaBrahmbhattBarot Inheritance of loss by Kiran Desai 9y
Titania @MyBookSwapClub Thank you! 9y
the_hibernator The Garden of the Evening Mists. Amazing book if you read "literary fiction " especially if you're looking for something that will teach you about the area. 9y
Titania Love all of these suggestions! So many are going my TBR list. For the challenge, I'm going with what is readily available at my library at the moment, which is Sorcerer to the Crown. 9y
