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)

Two boys from very different backgrounds meet at a high school track meet. Neil is from a blue collar Irish family. John is from an elite family. One becomes a high school teacher and the other drops off the grid but they secretly stay in touch until one of them dies.

I had bought this at Goodwill after seeing it everywhere and hadn’t gotten around to reading it. When I heard it was going to be a TV show, I rushed to read it so I could watch the show. I had high hopes but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I didn’t love the characters which made it hard to get super into. I’m glad I read it and I’m going to watch the show still, the book just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Interesting

This memoir is about a woman who was a flight attendant from 1979 until 1986.

Intrigue at a resort with a lot of surprises. Has a magical aspect that adds to the real life mystery.

This is non-fiction. Stephen was four year old in 1942 when he was deported from German occupied Guernsey. He and his parents were sent to a prison camp where they all survived for three years. After the war they returned to their home which had been taken over by another family. Stephen relates the events he remembers.

It Had to be Him was a refreshing break from the world. It was a sweet romance with just enough spice, a believable love story, and a likeable cast of characters. The book focuses on Ramin, who we met in book one, as he tries to reinvent himself after a failed proposal. I'm not usually a second-chance-romance kind of reader, but I loved the shared history between our MMCs and how easy it was to settle into their new relationship. I also got a kick out of Ramin teaching Noah how to be a dom. I may not know a lot about wine, but the book was accessible (though there were a few times when weird vocab was used) and enjoyable. Overall, the story was fun and endearing and I can't wait for book three!

Very easy read! This is a book about 2 people randomly meeting on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas. They are both overcoming a breakup.

An amazing book that has fantasy and friendship and so much really good climax’s 10/10 recommend!!!!!;)
