What should I read next? 📚 Thanks to the book fairy aka Jaymi @orangecountyreads I have a physical stack of books (a rare occurrence since I’m a Kindle purest!). Help me decide which to read first! 📚 By the way, if you are a reader in SoCal 😎🌞, have you signed up for Jaymi’s newsletter of author events and happenings in the area? It’s a great resource for readers who are looking for author events and meet ups with other SoCal readers!😍🙌 www.orangecountyreaders.com

Told from multiple perspectives and in a past and present timeline, #thewinemakerswife is a story of secrets, survival, guilt, and love. 🥂 Through the perspectives of Inès and Céline, we experience the intrigue of their daily lives before and during the German invasion of France during WW11; we learn details of the champagne production at the (fictional) Maison Chauveau in northern France near the city of Reims; and we also hear a little about the French resistance (hiding munitions and Jews). An alternate present-day timeline shares the story of Liv who is mysteriously whisked away from her home in New York to France by her eccentric grandmother. There are secrets from the past to be revealed. 🥂 • page-turning dual timeline • fast reading • interesting descriptions of champagne production in northern France • information about the role vineyards played in the Resistance movement (WW11)• several plot twists. 🥂 Some unlikable characters, an unusual grandmother, and predictable plot twists are involved. 🥂 Thought-provoking themes include making difficult choices, living with guilt, marriage, love, survival, resistance, second chances, and found family. 🥂 Recommended for fans of WW11 historical fiction set in France, for readers who wouldn’t mind histfic with a generous side of romance and all its complications, and for those looking for a quick, page-turning read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (full review on blog today) #historicalfiction

Thanks #netgalley #berkleypub for a free e ARC of #thegirlinwhitegloves by Kerri Maher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. 🌷 In this highly fictionalized biographical historical fiction of the life of an American actress turned princess, we get a glimpse into Grace Kelly‘s childhood dreams, her rise to fame, and her eventual royal life as Princess of Monaco. 🌷 Like many Grace Kelly fans, I had a romanticized, idealized image of the glamorous Grace Kelly. This story dispells those perceptions and I was left with feelings of sadness. It seems that Grace Kelly struggled with finding her voice, feeling self-confident, realizing her career goals, and establishing a loving, mutually respectful relationship. She lived during a time when the silent, subservient girlfriend/wife custom was valued, and most likely, her insecurities contributed to her decisions. I cheered for the times she asserted herself. 🌷 Along with her glamor and beauty, Grace Kelly was also driven to perform, loved Broadway, and dreamed of having a family. 🌷 If you love behind-the-scenes peeks into celebrity lives, the glamour of old Hollywood, or have heard of the lovely Grace Kelly, you might enjoy The Girl in White Gloves. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌷 Have you seen a Grace Kelly movie?
