David Brooks weaves ideas about historical figures to create a thoughtful, timely read.

It was mysterious adventure book . It's about a boy in a village with poisonous berries

Excellent

Wonderful story of a Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia who go to Maine each summer to pick blueberries and their youngest daughter goes missing. This event follows the lives of the rest of the family and how they coped with the loss and always kept hope in finding Ruthie. Excellent character development and the writing style is compelling, A 5 star for me!

A Year of Wonders offers a vivid look at a plague-ridden village through the eyes of a compelling narrator. The historical detail is rich, and the themes of resilience stand out. However, the pacing stumbles in the final chapters, and some plot turns feel overly dramatic. Still, an engaging read for historical

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

Just wish that she had made it a bit more emotional.

this book was alright. I don’t really love sports, so it’s not really my thing. I also don’t like the “I have to balance cooking and basketball, but I have to pick one,” blah, blah, blah.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I've read one of Ms. Cambridge's other books in her other series, The Phyllida Bright mystery series and very much enjoyed it. Although this is the 3rd book in her An American in Paris Mystery and I took all three out from my local library, I started with this one first. I love a ballgown and fashion and knew I'd love this book. I knew of the inclusion of Julia Child as a character and it was so much fun to imagine her cooking and being friends with Tabitha. I watched Julia Child when I was younger and loved to think of her cooking and trying to teach Tabitha how to make crepes, etc. Tabitha lives in Paris with her Grand-pere and his partner, her Oncle Rafe. The "attic" setting where she lives in their home sounds like the perfect little room in Paris. Especially with that private bath. Although I haven't read the other two books yet, it did come out in this book that Tabitha has discovered other bodies - numerous other bodies. She's helped the local inspector with solving the crimes before and helps him solve these. I really enjoyed his constant smirks and sighs at her insistence in helping him. All of the fashions, the mannequins, the Dior history of Chrisitan and his sister, were all written so well. I learned a lot of about Paris history and fashion. I'm eager to start the first book, Mastering the Art of French Murder, next. (from my Goodreads review)

I loved the selection series so much. It was the best!!!??
